After the reunion we drove around the entire edge of the state - The Circle Tour - because growing up in Western Michigan, I didn't know that much about the eastern side of the state. We loved Traverse City too and hopefully can go back. Next Friday I write about that 50th reunion and going back to my hometown after 50 years. The post is called "Thomas Wolfe was Right: You Can't Go Home Again." Hope you will comment.

We visited Michigan several times and he had a lot of fond memories from his childhood there. I think that area along with the Traverse City area is so pretty. We have been to Mackinac too and I've sat on the front porch at the Grand Hotel and biked around the island...so long ago. <br />My Dad always wore a tie and hat too...always the gentleman.<br />I loved horses too and my first car was a '67 mustang. And yes to sandboxes, bikes with cards in the spokes to make noise, riding in the front seat between my parents, no AC just fans, one dial phone in the hallway and on and on.<br />I didn't go to my high school reunion in '15 as no one I hung out with would have been there, but wow 50 years when you think about it is, well.....scary?<br />I'm glad I got to see Michigan... A beautiful state ...thanks for your postMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987527540895782339noreply@blogger.com
