Speaking of "our," the title of this post is courtesy of my loving husband, Martin. I mentioned to him that I was thinking about starting a blog and his response was to stare blankly at me and ask, "About what?" I was so shocked that he didn't jump on my blogging bandwagon that I got the "I'll show HIM!" mentality and started one right then and there! We're interesting! We do things! We experiment with foods! We make things! We can TOTALLY be the next Young House Love couple to watch, right? RIGHT? Okay, maybe not, but we DO have a 100 year old house that we are updating as we can afford it, are passionate about saving money where we can, and are willing to try making things at home that most people would just buy from the store. Thus, I am justified in creating this blog. So... there!
So I'll close tonight with a little yooper tidbit for you - you MIGHT be living in the UP if it is 95 and dry as dust on Saturday, and 50 and HAILING on Sunday. I may have grown up in Chicago, but I don't think I recall that much of a weather switch up in less than one day! I mean... rain, sure! We could use some rain! But HAIL? Chunks of ice flying at our house after sweating all over the place just hours prior? Nope... that's pure Michigan for ya! :)
Yooper Love!
I hope you learn to love the U.P. Most of my childhood memories occur in Copper Harbor! I have some great friends who work at Wimple Radio too! Oh yeah, cool blog!
ReplyDeleteI assume you've been to "The Monks" before, but if not, you are missing out!! They have some of the best jams, muffins and caramels I've ever had! Here is a link to their website: http://www.societystjohn.com/store/
I think the UP is an absolutely beautiful, interesting place, and I'm adjusting just fine! It's certainly different from Chicago, but NOT WORSE! :)
DeleteOh we are absolutely SMITTEN with the Monks! I just mentioned them on my most recent post! Thanks for reading!
