All vacations must come to an end and today was our last day in Michigan. It wasn’t hard to get everything packed up but we had to be careful descending the staircase (one hand always on the railing) so there were multiple trips to the car.
Going up and down the steps with suitcases and stuff was enough exercise to build up an appetite for our last breakfast of blueberry coffee cake and blueberry popovers, a fruit cup, and waffles with berries which was excellent as usual. However, none of us lingered with extra cups of coffee at breakfast today as we all had a several hours drive ahead of us.
We had pre-paid for the room, but we settled up with Sherrie on the items we purchased during the stay – wine, Chef’s Dinner, etc. I fed snacks to the chickens one more time and Chuck had to tell Black Betty good-bye (I think they both teared up). We thanked Sherrie and Tim again for their hospitality.
It was finally time for one last round of hugs and wishing everyone safe travels.
We survived the traffic chaos again in Indianapolis and eventually made our way home to Pumpkin who let it be known (for several hours) that he was displeased with our being AWOL. I had to promise him extra kitty snacks to mollify him.
Thankfully everyone arrived home safely, and we are looking forward to getting together next year. Watch out Asheville, North Carolina – here we come.
