Oh Look! A Post!

Soooo long, no write again.

Stuff is percolating but nothing's ready to be poured yet, needs more brewing. No idea where the coffee talk is coming from.

Chris and I went to Mackinac Island last week, as part of a wooing session for me from work. It was lovely to be there with no real responsibilities (as when I go there for work I can never really relax and am almost always "on" in some way.) The biggest gift was that it was all free. We floated from one open-bar reception to another open-bar dinner with numerous "stations" (pasta, seafood, carving, etc.) to breakfast buffets that had enough bacon to make Chris whimper. The good thing about all that food is that one is pretty much guaranteed to walk it all off on the island. We walked downtown a few times and never took a single cab (horse and carriage) even though I wanted to.

We pretty much walked Indi's little legs into nubbins. She did really well and seemed to welcome being left in the room for a couple of hours at a time when we went off to eat. And drink. Did I mention the open bar? She was always more than happy to see us come "home" though, as evidenced by this video. Sorry the quality is so poor, it's on my cell phone and she was jumping all over the bed. Which, before you think we're slobs, we didn't have made up because we didn't want to subject the cleaning staff to a dog going crazy while they tried to clean. Thus the rumpled bed.

Also, you might want to turn down the volume on your speakers a tad because her welcome home yelps are about enough to pierce your eardrums. It's like she thought we'd gone forever, every single time we come back.

I promise a real post soon but pretty much, Indi's as real as I get these days.

Sweetie, I love your real posts, your fake posts, anything you write is welcome!

Besides, this post included Indi's adorableness. How could you go wrong with that?

I'm so glad you had a wonderful visit to Mackinac. You deserve it! Here's to hoping summer is full of wonderful things for you.
