i feel for you I have been going thru the same kind of thing since April
with this stomach bug that won't stay away. Jim has had it at times too.

I hope all goes well with you and that you can get it all figured out and
fixed up.

Hello from another Michigander! Born and raised in Ann Arbor. Just my
sister lives there now. Well, her and her kids and spouses, etc. She had
a granddaughter two weeks after my Scarlett came in October. The funny
thing was Scarlett was due the end of October and came early, and Abby was
due the mddle of October and came late. Abby weighed 10 lbs! Scarlett
weighed 7 lbs, 4 oz , I think. Hello to all you Yankees.

Midland, cool. We've been there some - in fact we timed one of our car
shopping trips to coincide with a Loons game. (Mike's the bigger baseball
fan though) Loved the Chippewa nature Center when we were in Bay City. We
always need to have places we can walk in the woods near by us.
