The Migration Route Opens Again!

Well this past week/weekend my family's "Migration Route" from Michigan to Florida and vice versa opened again for the 2009 season.

My great-aunt Jeanne and uncle Steve spent Valentine's Day weekend with us en route on their month-long vacation in Florida. They were also pleasantly surprised with the renovated guestroom that our "Bed & Breakfast" affords. Before decorated with four shades of brown paneling, our guest room now sports nice new, clean white walls.

During their visit we did many things. Friday night they got here a little after 6 PM, and left here Sunday at about 10 AM. Friday night we talked, ate a wonderful supper, and laughed, sharing a good time all around.

Sabbath morning we all went to our church, McDonald Road SDA, and had a great church service. In the afternoon, Mom, me, Jeanne & Steve all hovered around the computer taking turns on the Internet. We also received a nice phone call from Grandma and Grandpa White currently residing in sunny Florida.

Later Jeanne and I played "Adra-Opoly, a Monopoly-based game in which you buy/rent different "projects" (properties). If you recall, I created this game last year Thanksgiving. It is themed after the charity ADRA. (Adventist Development & Relief Agency, http://www.adra.org/).

After that, we all took a walk along our road. That's when I took most of the photos here. We are glad we could see them for the second year in a row and hope their February visit becomes a strong tradition. :)

I know I've promised a surprise (two weeks ago! :P) but I am running out of computer time right now. But thankfully I am getting some more tomorrow and will try to post the surprise then. :D
