After being sick in February, now recovered ... grateful to be alive and well... I promised myself that I would try to live each day as if it were my last. And I have happily been doing just that.

It was a long cold HARD winter here in Michigan. But now, it is glorious summer.

And so I've been as busy as I could possibly be, hanging out on the back deck, swimming in the pool, BBQ'ing, tipping back a few cold brews, playing cards, listening to music, bike riding, staying up late, sleeping in, talking with old friends-making new ones, laughing & loving my family.


It's not a trip to Disney World or Vegas, but so far, it's the best summer vacation I can ever recall.
