Another December in the Icy Tundra of Michigan  

12/07/05 - 12/18/05 - Dexter & Lake Orion, MI (Photos - same as 12/25/05 entry)

Taking care of U.S. business & Christmas visiting in Michigan

 

We had quite a bit of mailing, bills, and paperwork to take care of, as well as some U.S. shopping, and were planning a drive up to Laredo to TCB.  With the holiday season approaching and sentimentality levels running high, and with some logistics to overcome regarding getting 'stuff' from and to Michigan, we decided to just fly up to the wintery wonderland to visit friends and family and take care everything we needed to do.  Besides spending a lot of time shopping, we did get to spend quality time with our families, and also go out for celebratory drinks with Chris & Jacque, who announced their intentions to wed.  Of course, there were ridiculously colder than average temperatures and plenty of snow, and we were excited to know that we'd be spending the rest of the winter back in our warm and sunny Mexican homes.
