More Snow From MI

Hello All;
Our good luck on the MI trip has continued...we woke up to 2 inches of fresh snow on the tree tops, cars and lawns this AM. It was picture postcard beautiful! After 10 years of being away in the winter, I couldn't have planned any better. The big storms predicted went somewhere south of us but we got the beauty of the storm.

After we allowed for the residents to get to work (we didn't want to clog the roads in the peak driving time!) we drove to the south side of Lake Macatawa (remember where L. Frank Baum did some of his writing?) and walked towards Lake MI. We ignored the "STOP - PRIVATE PROPERTY" signs because, well, because we could - no persons were sitting in the little guard shacks and I've always followed so many rules, I just wanted to see the lighthouse - which should be publicly accessible by law anyway!

Then we drove 20 miles to the Grand Haven State Park and made a very quick stop to see that lighthouse - mercy mercy it was cold! The wind was whipping across the lake so as to make us glad we don't have to go there every day. And then we stopped in town for hot soup and tea to warm us up and support our American economy - we have done our part to stop the recession on this trip!

Enjoy - and those of you who are in FL missing this - too bad because the scenery is spectacular!
