Finally Back in Big Rapids

Ah yes, we made it back to Big Rapids today! Yes, I realize that we could have taken longer, but this was a great trip, a fine pace, we learned things, relaxed, and laughed. Tonight we're at Paris Park -- a county park with a nice campground -- where we will be staying till our next move. When? That's a secret! Actually, we don't quite know what's what just yet. I guess we do know "what," just not "when."

When we got here, we called Donna and Al to tell them that we were back and were coming to get Jack's van, which they've generously stored for us this past winter. They were not there, but we left a message. Then we drove on over there, only to discover that Jack didn't have his key!

We were getting set to go, when I said, "Do you suppose that maybe the door is unlocked with the keys in it?" We laughed and then Jack went over and tried the door. Yup! Door was unlocked, and keys were in it! AND it started!

We drove it and Ruby up here to Paris Park, got settled in, and then took the van into town. We went to Lowe's and Menard's, looking for an object of a recent quest -- new faucets for the kitchen and bath. I want single-lever faucets. :)

Then we popped in on Luanne and Dan, who graciously invited us in and caught us up on the goings-on of Big Rapids this winter.

I just checked the Where is Janee Now (the link to the right) and I see that our location is not updated. Paris Park is about 6 miles north of Big Rapids.

Jack made us Whirley Pop popcorn tonight, and it was the BEST. If you love popcorn like we do, GET one of these things! Kitchen Connection has not only the poppers, but also the popcorn kits from Wabash Valley Farms.
