We're back from one of our longest trips of the year. Just did an art show in Cincinnati, We were lucky to dodge the tornados and hail Saturday night, the heat held off for us and overall it was beautiful weather for the three day show. We did well and it was nice to get a taste of summer on our venture south. We filled up on our share of Montgomery Inn Ribs and Skyline Chili- world famous Cincinnati favorite dishes. It was also nice to get a short but sweet visit in with my family. I grew up in Cincy and wow, after having lived in the U.P. for so long now it sure is a different world in that part of the the midwest, most strikingly climate wise- we returned to freeze warnings this evening in the UP, and I notice we still have only buds on our big oak tree. On our drive home, once we crossed the Mackinaw Bridge, we returned to empty roads and the slower pace of life we moved to the UP for.
To live in the UP means sometimes you are rewarded with sights seldom seen elsewhere in more populated areas. Today Brian got one of those rewards, as he and his friend Gary got to see a MOOSE driving back from L'anse to Negaunee:
it's a MOOSE!This fella was a big 'un. I've never been so lucky to see a moose up here, only tracks. Maybe I'll get lucky this year.
