January Surprises

January began with typical Ohio/Michigan weather of freezing rain and cold. Time was spent indoors knitting, drinking tea, wishing for snow, and searching the internet for a home to purchase. Our views from the lakehouse in Michigan were changing daily, but we decided to spend time on Lake Erie at the Maumee Bay Lodge in Ohio for a change of scenery. The weekend surprised us with mild 60 degree temperatures and sunshine. A welcome warm up in the middle of January.

The Holidays

Before Christmas we spent some time in the town of Brooklyn Michigan. The snow was a perfect complement to old homes and buildings. I could not resist buying some vintage Christmas balls at the  local antique store. The colors were a great complement to our borrowed silver tree. We put up a few decorations at the lake house, but spent most of the holiday in Ohio with our families.
