Summer is winding down and I am faced with the reality that I will have to return to Trollandia in a couple weeks. It isn’t all that bad. I knew that I wanted to live on The Planet Ann Arbor by the time I was 12 years old or so. Somehow I made that happen and even ended up marrying a guy who was willing to help make that little dream come true. We bought The Landfill (our house) there and brought up our daughters there. Our little house in Ann Arbor was a wonderful place to raise our children. And. They both live there (or near there) as adults🧡

I am also lucky in that the guy I convinced to move to A2 with me embraced my family’s beach land here on Gitchee Gumee (Lake Superior). Although my family is friendly and welcoming, this place isn’t for everyone. I mean, when the GG first visited, we still had an outhouse. We have modern plumbing today but the place isn’t fancy. The moomincabin is small and there isn’t a whole lot of privacy, etc., etc. The GG was pretty okay with all this having grown up going to a rustic cabin with his family. He got along well with my family and was a special friend to The Commander in her later years, which helped me out a LOT since I was beginning a new job at that time. My moom was very proud of me for embarking on a new career after the age of 50 but I didn’t have a whole lot of time off to spend with her.

We still have some summertime left and the Twinz of Terror ate breakfast here this morning and then left for a North Country Trail mini-celebration in North Dakota. npJane will be heading up later this week and Lizard Breath this weekend. It was absolutely gorgeous on the beach this evening and after I decamped to the moomincabin, I turned on the deck lights so the next door cousins would know it was okay to visit, although we had also texted about that. It was a great opportunity for me to vent about MAGA.

Love y’all and thanks cousins for letting me vent. KW.
