- a great evening
Last night some friends of ours took us out on their boat. We put-in in downtown St. Clair and moved north to Port Huron and even a little out into Lake Huron. [Picture above is the Blue Water bridge, one of the busiest connecting points in the country between Canada and the U.S.]
This was [...]
- offer on the table
I just got back from our real estate agents office. We have tendered our very first offer on our very first home. (It’s picture is directly below this one.)

And yet, there is [...]
