Hey meekie. Thought of you when I was doing the thread...lots of water skiing in Michigan!

[dutchess]

Hi Pippin. No, don't recall the song Saginaw, Michigan although it sounds pretty cool.

[Billie]

Afternoon, Maggie! Loved the Legend of the Sleeping Bears too. :)

Heard a lot of Dutch people settled around Lake Michigan.

Actually I believe that's true. There is a lovely city, Holland around that area. They have a huge tulip festival every summer. Maybe you have some Michigan relatives????

Missed your coffee's this morning but I sure could use an after work cup. Thanks for brightening up our mornings at the Finest.

Hiya Billie. I feel great. I was just on a "mini-vacation" to the North Shore of Lake Superior for a few days.

Hi Temple. Giz says hi to Ink!

[Billie]

Welcome to the Finest. Welcome to the Finest. Welcome to the Finest. :)

You have a very interesting screenname - some day we may have to start a post on interesting and unusual screen names here. :)

Michigan is truly a land of beauty and it sounds like you're anxious to get back there. :)

Afternoon FR's Finest... hostesses.

Great intro to Michigan, dutchess.
Can't decide if all that water is making me thirsty or creating the desire to go swimming.

That waterfall though, is not good for those of us with bladder problems. :)
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go...

[Billie]

Nice to know your travels since have led you here to The Finest, Johnny Mac, where there is lots of Finest Family Love..:))

You, in fact, generate a great deal of it with your presence here, through your words and pictures. You are our knight in shining armor, and genuinely appreciated....

I second that emotion. :)

[dutchess]

Hey Billie. Are we here at the same time???

Lori...so glad you got to stop by today. After doing this I have new found respect for all you do with the cyber tours!

[Billie]

:) It's beautiful outside this time of year. I love the fall season.

[Billie]

LOL! Look what I started! Mr. Frog is pretty cute, though. :)

Hi free. Neat calendar.

And it sounds like the U.P. people have something in common with the Upstate New York people

Yup...it sure does doesn't it!

[Billie]

Oh, look at that lighthouse so high above everything! Did you take the picture?

[Billie]

Hey Dave! Being a water kind of guy, have you ever had the desire to go over a waterfall in a barrel or something? :) Maybe not Niagra Falls - a 'shorter' one. LOL!

[Billie]

We ARE here at the same time! I need to leave shortly, but wanted to take a little time today to say hello to all who've stopped in. :)

[dutchess]

Hi Cal. Thanks for the links!

[Calpernia]

Hi Russ,

I saw Billie's post, 97 (trying to coach Dave into going over the falls. Sheesh! She must be looking to do an action thread.) and thought of your graphics you posted last night.

Well, I'm off to take my daughter to cheerleading. Be back later.
