Subject: Postcards from Michigan--#7

Weather update: At 8:00 it is 58 degrees out. But it is a “dry” 58 so does not feel as cold as one would think. The weather forecaster led off the weekend’s forecast with “It is too early in the season for this weather…”. When that happens you know it’s time to say goodbye and head south.

Since it will be rainy and very cold all weekend, we decided to head back on Saturday rather than pressing the last ounce of time out of The Barb’s final vacation and head back on Sunday like she originally planned.

All-in-all, a relaxing vacation and we saw a lot of things. Oh, Bronner’s Christmas store was something to see once but I don’t think I need to return.

For the past several years, a tradition we have done on vacation is to visit an outlet mall. Yesterday, we found a Prime Outlet Center at the Frankenmuth exit. It’s about 50% larger than the one south of Indy.

This next item is for Earl so the rest of you don’t need to read on…

While at Prime I discovered I had in my possession a sure-fire “Chick Magnet” and you might want to get one as I’m sure it would help. We took the dogs on this trip and since the older dog can’t really walk very far anymore I brought along our Doggy Ride buggy for her to ride in. WWW.DoggyRide.com. Everywhere I went shopping the women all had to come up and just gush over the buggy and the dog inside. Actually, this happened on the whole trip at every destination but it wasn’t until getting to Prime that I noticed the connection, as the women were generally younger. You should consider getting one of these as it would definitely help. Or, I’ll rent you mine at some obscenely greedy rate that typifies my allegiance to rampant runaway Red State Capitalism.
