UP in the UP

That would be ..Up in the

Upper Peninsula-one of the

beautiful spots we like to go.

This is Hougton...just under the

Welcome sign, on the corner..

is a wonderful little coffee shop..

with good books...good coffee..

and it's good for people watching..

one of my favorite things to do..

that and talking to complete strangers..

Yeah...I'm good at that too~

See the trees on the picture on the right?

The hotel that we stay at is just down below them..

on the water...we can see that bridge from

our window...and the water..

and if we are on the first floor..

we see...

people walking by and looking into our room..

That's why MyHero keeps his clothes on..

cuz I like the drapes open until it is dark..

He is modest like that...sometimes..

Did you ever look into a motel window

and notice someone sitting there in

their tighty-whities?

That might be MyHero...

or...maybe not~

Anyway..after a good night's sleep

we get up and head to Copper Country.

The first stop is Calumet.

They have all these wonderful churches

preserved...even though much of the

town has quietly closed up shop.

This one is right next to the one above..And..they have a cute little downtown area.

Later, I will tell you about MyHero

and his rock-ing experience..
and forgetting his wallet...

and losing my own credit card...

and buying some clip on glasses...

but that is an experience for another day...

I can only pack so much excitment into one blog .

We drive further North to Copper Harbor..

There is a camp there that was set up

during the depression years.

Family stayed there..worked there..

and made their homes there during

the Depression years.

It has a lovely old lodge where you

can stay or where you can

just grab a bite to eat in the dining hall.
This is a picture of the grounds as you

drive up Leaving there we drive South
towards Florida where I really want to go -See- It is less than 2000 miles away...but Nooooo we have to go to Lake Superior where it is cold enough to freeze the butt off an antelope Eagle Harbor





Isn't this beautiful though?

And...my mouth is already watering when we

pass Eagle Harbor...for soon...

soon...but not soon enough..

we will find this

sweet and darling

little place..

where they make the best

muffins you have ever had in your life...

They make a gingerbread muffin that is

to die for...with lemon cream cheese frosting...

my mouth is watering...

there's the sign!!!

Yaaaayy!

Their little front door is always open

with wonderful smells

wafting through the screen..

WHAT?

THE DOOR IS CLOSED?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

ARE.YOU.KIDDING.

You are closed on Sundays?

Are you nuts?

No?

Ohhh...You're religious..

and it's your day off..

Okay...but..I

am

still

mad!

Do you suppose they left the back door

open by mistake?? hmmmm-

might be worth checking..

I didn't see a No Trespassing Sign.

No? Huh? Why not? *sigh*

MyHero has NO sense of adventure!
