I’ve been away from the computer for a while. What? You didn’t notice? Well I missed you and that’s enough.
Husby and I took a little jaunt to the ever-lovely Door County, Wisconsin. I had a show in Ellison Bay (Olde Ellison Bay Days Craft Fair) where we spent a couple of days meeting and greeting customers and fellow vendors. The weather was perfect.
We spent another few days lolling about the peninsula. Husby and I have an affinity for large bodies of water and we have become quite attached to Lake Michigan ~ the Door County peninsula to be precise.
I’ll be posting a little more about our trip, but for now I’m offering a little entertainment. Whenever I’m by the lake this song invariably sneaks into my mind and sticks there for a while. I love it, and although I wasn’t on an island per se, watching the water with this song playing through my head is quite an experience. I hope you enjoy it no matter where you are.
**Caution, Charlotte. It’s “that” song.**

I did miss you! I’m glad you had a nice break. Lake Michigan is unusually warm this year – or so I’ve been told – and always beautiful to be around. Whenever I’m away from this island, I keep a Langston Hughes poem on display:
“Wave of sorrow,
do not drown me now.
I see the island
still ahead somehow.
I see the island
and its sands are fair.
Wave of sorrow,
take me there.”
Ooh, I like that poem!
The Lake Michigan weather we had on the peninsula was in the 70s with a light breeze. When we returned home to Minnesota yesterday it was 90 degrees with very high humidity and no breeze. It will be about the same today. I miss that fresh lake air!!
