 Quote From: elffie Hello, I used to live in Michigan also, I used to go to Ann Arbor all the time, it's a great city full of character and activites. Have you ever gone to the art festivals? They are very good. And I loved the Hands on Art Museum. I remember going there for a school field trip. And the Botanical Garden( I can't remember the name) is absolutley beautiful. I loved walking down town by the college and checking out all of the stores. I lived about 40 minutes away from there down southeast Michigan. I'm not sure if you have ever been to other towns, but I do remember one Botanical garden. Hidden Lake Gardens, it's in Tipton and is amazing also, that is where I got married. It's up in Irish Hills area. I now live in Idaho and for awhile I did miss home a whole bunch, now I am doing good, too bad we may have to move again. Last I heard, Michigan wasn't doing too great in the job department. A lot of factories being laid off so I guess I'm lucky being where I am today with the job market booming. It has to be very different living in Florida when you never get snow. I don't think I would be able to adjust to that, I like the snow too much. It was nice to hear from someone who used to live in Michigan, brings back memories. Hi Elfie.... I used to go to the Art Fair with my Dad a lot as a kid. It was fun. Ann Arbor is known as the "mixing pot". I loved the museum too. My Aunt has worked for the U of M for over 20 years and the building she works in is right next door to the museum. So we went there a lot. I went on a field trip in school in like 4th grade to botanical gardens.
I know where Irish Hills is. We used to go camping there every summer. Plus my aunt had friends that lived out there that had horses. One summer went o some park place or whatever there & I walked into a big dinosaur statue & it left a huge goose egg right on my forehead. LOL! I got teased so much.
I actually grew up in Whitmore Lake (North of Ann Arbor). I lived there most of my life. But before I moved to Florida I lived in Oxford. I loved there. I really miss it. My Dad still lives in Hamburg & so do all his bothers & sisters. My Mom & sister & brother all live down here in Florida though. Well thank you for repling. It was so awsome to hear from someone who can relate to be a little home sick. Please keep in touch!
