Alfredo and I flew home for a full week of family and friends. Northern Michigan showed us her beauty in many forms. We had the opportunity to boat and lounge with family all week until the day of our party. We had such a great time and the weather was balmy. Mom and Dad know how to throw a party! Upon leaving, Alfredo and I thought this would be where we kept one of our retirement homes.
