How was your holiday weekend? Did you get a few day off to relax and do what you love? My fam and I used our holiday time to escape up to Michigan -way north. It was grand. A bit cold on the water, which is odd considering it was 100 just two weeks earlier. But hey, it's the midwest. All in all a great time was had. The boys are on summer break and for the first time in awhile we haven't enrolled them in any summer activities past June, so they have a full two months to just be kids without obligations. And that means a lot less obligations and driving for Terry and I too!
We have such a fun array of goodies from Katrinkles this week! I've ordered some things that are new to us, like a bit of jewelry, and there are new colors of some of our fave stitch markers. Here's just a bit of what you'll find here.
About that water temperature: the currents in Lake Michigan can change the water temperature in any one spot dramatically. I remember once, in high school, fairly late in the summer -around mid August- we decided to go to the beach, the same beach we had already gone to several times that summer - Calumet Park beach- around 103rd Street. It’s very close to the Indians state line. All of which is irrelevant; what’s relevant is that we had gone to that beach several times that summer including just about a week earlier. Every time we were greeted with the normal icy feel as we entered the water but it wasn’t really that cold & we got used to the lower than body temperature water in a few minutes. But this day, the water was colder than I’ve ever felt. It literally felt like there must be ice cubes (floes?) in the water. It was colder than the water along the Oregon or Northern California coast. We decided to just bask in the sun long enough to warm up & then leave. A week or 10 days later, the water was back to it’s normal chilly until you get used to it temperature.
