I have been away for a week visiting the Upper Peninsula.  My husband’s family planted roots in Michigan after a long journey from Finland.  This was a first, and likely last, family reunion as all of the “old timers” are getting on in age.  We stayed in a lovely home along a canal in Houghton.  You can see our view below in the third picture.

I really enjoyed the beauty that surrounded me at every turn.  The wildflowers were blooming shamelessly in bursts of pink and yellow.  The mountains were lit up with the sun during the day and the lakes were illuminated with the moon at night.  Many memories were shared with me.  I was struck by the Finnish tradition of the family sauna and blessed to get a photo of the place where his mother spent Saturday’s communing with relatives.  And much to everyone’s surprise, the boat that my husband’s grandfather used to take them out onto the lake, was still there on the property.  The old homesteads have been sold to strangers, but they were all kind enough to let us walk around inside and out.  It was a special time and I am so glad I got to be a part of it…

I am one of those people who gets focused on one thing and I cannot let go.  “A dog with a bone” as one of my friends likes to say. Even though I am preoccupied with Society 6 at the moment, my work is still going places. Namely to Michigan, New York and Massachusetts. 🙂  I have been to two of these states so far and plan to pick up New York on my way to Canada soon.

Where are YOU going?

More maps are on their way including some fun country pieces.  I love creating these as they combine my love of color and my attraction to interesting shapes. 🙂

Stay tuned for the next adventure!
