ahh home! and the kicker is that is exactly where i went to college, and we would joke about things like that happening, we would see the occasional john deere driving down the road but maybe the police force has wised up a bit, it has been a few years! i have always gotten a kick out of the emails about “you know you’re from michigan when…” even jeff foxworthy has put together a list of “observations” for example…
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Michigan . so true, and ours was an indoor one!

You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching. why? because all of the pot holes are filled in. duh
You see people wearing camouflage at social events (including weddings). that was the same wedding where the beer came out of plastic jugs.
You design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit. i was a clown for years because the costume was soo big (another reason why i hate clowns!)
You can identify a southern or eastern accent. of course we don’t have accents.
Down South to you means Ohio . and people in Ohio are different…
Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost. i think that only happened once,
You have more miles on your snow blower than your car. and when we moved to ct, the poor neglected snowblower is hardly used…
You find 0 degrees “a little chilly.” three words to that…shorts and sweatshirt!
You drink pop and bake with soda. why cant people get that?
Your doctor tells you to drink Vernors and you know it’s not medicine. and because of Vernors you also know to use your hand as a map to point out where in michigan you are from.
You know what a yooper is. they even have bumperstickers!

You understand that when visiting Detroit , the best thing to wear is a Kevlar vest. and you know that you can turn left on red when there is no on coming traffic…
feeling a little homesick i guess. other than that not much going on, it is official now, kevin went to court yesterday and finalized the custody of nick, he is now primary and all the other legal things that they can say. its something that he has wanted for a very very very long time and i am so very happy for him. not that much will change with nick and his mom but now kevin really feels like a dad. it was just a great day all around!
