We Are In Michigan

 

Saturday, April 18, 2026 

As I start writing this morning I can hear the rain on the roof. You know that pitter/patter which sounds relaxing at first and then becomes the question of the day, when will it stop? We have been here four days and that question is about to be askes...lol Not to mention we are parked on grass and the ground is not as solid as we would like. So far no puddles are accumulating next to us so we are keeping our fingers crossed that today will be the last day of the rain. The weather guessers are saying tomorrow will be partly sunny and then we will have four days of sun. Again fingers crossed that they are right.

Presently we are parked at the Wayne County Fairgrounds and this is where we need to be for the foreseeable future. I would like to take a moment to thank each of you for your prayers. They are very much appreciated. I know I have not shared why we needed to be here or why we needed the prayers and I cannot do so. It is not my story to share. I can say it is about what is happening in our family and we would appreciate continued prayers.

The rest of the journey that brought us to where we are in Michigan:

Only one goose in the pond this morning as we pulled out.
Making our way to I-69 we went by a field of solar panels.
The middle picture is filled with wishes.
Redbud trees are in bloom and dark skies ahead.

Mostly dark skies ahead though once and awhile it seemed to
 brighten up. The middle picture was the sun shining on a field.

Then the  rain came down. 

We have crossed into Michigan.

We drove out of the rain shortly before we crossed into Michigan.

Stopped at the Michigan Welcome Center

As we parked looking out the ground in front of us was filled with
Dandelions looking like little yellow spots of sunshine. 

As we traveled north the leaves on the tree are just starting to bud.

We have turned east on I-94.
With about 80 miles to go we are almost at our destination.

I thought this red barn was worth a picture. Then at the last 
second as we went by I saw and clicked the picture of the flag.

As we came into Ann Arbor we joined the traffic and we
would be in it for the last 18 miles or so to our exit.

Where we will be calling home for now.

This ends our 12th Adventure for 2025/2026. It certainly ended up being a different adventure for us this year. When we left Michigan last fall we never expected to return in a new to us motorhome. This past winter we spent more time parked in a RV Park then out in the desert and that was different for us. It was a good winter spent with friends and we look forward with hope to many more to come. 

These next months will be a time to spend with our children and grandchildren who live in this area. The plan also includes moving up to the Upper Peninsula for a short time, specifically Escanaba, where we are from. We need to off load some of the stuff we have in here that we do not have room for. More importantly we look forward to spending time with our family and friends that live up there and in Wisconsin. Then we will head back down here to spend more time with our children and grandchildren before heading to a warmer climate for the winter months. At least right now that is our hope and we are praying it all falls into place. Tom and I believe in the power of prayer and trust that God has a plan. We hope all of you reading this have a wonderful week filled with sunshine and time spent with those you love. 

If you have enjoyed the pictures I have put out there
