update!!!

Yesterday we made a whirlwind trip to Marquette to buy a new phone – my iPhone 6S died overnite!  One minute it was fully charged and the next it was dead………………  so we went to Best Buy (it was the closest one at over 2 hours away) and spent $600 on an new one – it’s kind of like getting a new toy……….

We also stopped and got some worming medicine from the vet we know there that is also a dog driver, Tim Hunt – that wasn’t cheap either - $200!

On our way into Marquette, we started seeing emergency vehicles – like about 10 of them- who were responding to an accident that must have happened maybe 15 minutes before we came upon it – pretty bad – one of the vehicles was rolled over and the other smashed up- thankfully it didn’t look like anyone was badly injured from what we could see.

Only spent about an hour and a half in Marquette and then started back home so we could feed dogs in the light – did stop part way home at a lovely little stone restaurant we have always wanted to try but seemed like we didn’t have time or it was closed – it was very cozy and had rustic furniture just like my house!  The whitefish was delicious!

When we got home we found an unexpected surprise visitor, the owner of the house we rent was here from down by Cincinnati – not for a very good reason though – he had been at his brother-in-law’s funeral in Lansing.  So we visited with him during the evening and saw pictures of the new boat they have purchased to go through the inland waterways this year!

We ended up getting about 3 to 4 inches of snow for the first real snow of the year!  It will make training dogs today harder because it’s not enough for the snowmachine and the 4 wheeler will slide!  And then tonite we go to Jan’s for a fish dinner!!
