Mark and I spent the weekend up north with our friends in Traverse City.  It’s a relaxing, wonderful place to hang and our generous friends are so much fun to visit.

These are the kids.  In our absence over the past few months, the oldest had been devoured by a sullen teenager.  Not having children of our own, and only seeing these kids a couple of times a year, it is astounding the changes.  I remember my grandmother saying Jane and I grew like weeds, I would roll my eyes, of course we grew.  Now I see it from her side, it is overwhelming.  Especially since Mark and I haven’t changed a bit.  Shut up.

I took a look at the oldest’s art wall, and was smitten with this image.  Wonderful, no?

Old people really like sunsets, and here is a sunset.  It really is beautiful up there.

The beach is even inviting in winter.

I’m glad to be back with my cats, but it sure is refreshing to take a weekend and get away.
