Another Whirlwind Trip to MI

So, I just came back from another whirlwind trip of two weeks to Michigan. While there I.......
.......went to a polish dinner at the National Polish Church in Temperance with my mom.....

..... made pigs in the blanket with my mom for my sister's retirement party.....;

.....went to a memorial service for a third cousin and saw many cousins.....;

.....went to a graduation party at the Grawburg Farm - see other blog entry for those pictures and story.....;

.....stop by Andrew and Becky's new home - this is Cooper and Garek helping put in the front flower bed.

.....We had a wonderful bridal shower for Julie - see other blog entry for those pics and story.....

.....My mom has some wonderful cacti in her yard and here they are blooming. Of course she had a friendly garden snake that visited while I was taking pictures - just moseyed on through.

.....I helped my mom with some cleaning; planted flowers, did word searches together and had supper with Tom and Ginny a couple of times.

While there, Phil's Aunt Loretta on his Dad's side passed away. So at the funeral home I was able to see David and Marie, (Phil's sister and her husband) and his brother Leo from Wisconsin. Aren't they a good looking bunch!!!

Unfortunately the weather was humidly hot; I didn't get to see my friends JR and Elaine and stitch; I had to pass on the quilt guild in Grand Blanc; shop hopping was out and I missed my teddy bear in Oregon. But it was great to be with my mom, visit with our sons, see family and have a wonderful time again in beautiful Michigan.
