A wet welcome back to Michigan

It was dry when we entered

We’re home. And thanks Michigan for the wild and wet welcome back. We weren’t in our home state more than 15 minutes when it started to rain. And then it really rained and then it rained so hard that the windshield wipers were pointless.

Mixed in with the rain was lightning and thunder. So to say it was an interesting ride home is an understatement. And frankly, if I wasn’t so anxious to get in my own bed I might have stopped and waited for the storm to pass.

The trip, until we arrived in Michigan, was very uneventful but just a little longer than I usually like to drive.

But not for long (It got much worse later)

Before going home we stopped at the Lapeer Little Caesar’s and picked up a pizza and a salad to eat when we got home.

The cat pleasantly greeted us at the door and we decided to eat dinner before unloading the car.

During the trip home we listed to our satellite radio. In the morning we listen to Phlash Phelps on 60s on 6 and then in the afternoon we listened to Radio Classics and then Joan plugged in her iPod and we listened to her music for a couple hours.

We ended the trip listening to Cousin Brucie back on 60s on 6.

Well folks, this wraps up the 2013 winter adventure. I will be back in June to record our trip to my Navy reunion. Until then Grandma’s Recess will be on hiatus.
