Michigan update 1

Well I made it to michigan!!!
Here was my stop in chicago. I only got 3 pictures and they were all of the inside of the train station. haha!
I got off the bus with a hurd of people standing outside the bus trying to get on for there next trip all while were trying to get off the bus and the bus driver is freaking out about people stealing our bags. Oh my..... Well I had to go to the bathroom SOOOOOO bad but didnt want to go on the bus (it smells HORIABLE!!) So. I was going to wait we made it to chicago and I was thinking oooo i could make the 8:45 train to michigan city (where the fam will be to pick me up) and I could possibly make it early. So i hurry off the bus (as quickly as possible being at the back of it) to get my bag and then thinking we would be in a bus station where a bathroom would be....No, No, No... we were completly outside on the corner in chicago with only business office around. So i walk up to the corner of the block cross the street and walk into a deli "acting" like i'm going to buy something and slip into the bathroom. WooHoo so I'm thinking I might possibly still be able to make it! With any luck. So i'm trying to "hail" a cab. hahahahaha What southerner knows how to hail a cab... Not any I know!!!
So I walk to a cluster of cabs thinking I wont have to hail so much but just have to walk up and tell them where i'm needing to go. So this cab mumbles something to me and drives up a little ways. Not sure what's happening with other cabs honking behind him to move up the next guy sticks his head out the window and asks me where I'm going. I tell him millennium station and he says get in. Well the guy from the other cab that mumbled at me got out of his cab and starts yelling at my now cab driver that he stole me and how could he do that. And a few other things..... Oh dear!!! This southerner is now scared out of her mind. I'm thinking at this point. I can just walk.. I'll be fine!! hahaha Well I end up getting in the cab knowing that it could be close to impossible to walk 10 blocks with a 50 pound suitcase and a VERY heavy backpack. So I put my suitcase in the trunk, let me say that again, I, yes I put my suitcase in the trunk. "they need some southern hospitality in chicago (help a girl get her suitcase in the trunk) nope not a bit of help! geesh.
so finally were off to the train station. So after about a 5 -7min. drive I'm at the station.
Heres the pic I took of a little TINY bit of the waiting area. Many people came and left so I have a few moments where there was no one around me (in between trains). It was nice and quiet at times. Very enjoyable!


Well so far we have not done much.
Yesterday was the first full day here.
I walked downtown yesterday morning and took pics of stuff. "i'll post some later"
We had breakfast and lunch at the cottage "picture to come"
Sassy and I walked to the yarn market!!! Yes any old ladies or sassy & I's favorite place.. haha
After being in there I have decided to take up knitting. So i buy a book and pick something to make... Here I am on the beach knitting.. Who does that??? ME!!!!!! hahahahaha. Laying in front of me is sierra (my sister-in-law, and her boyfriend) there cute! Oh young love... :-)


So last night we went to the local "apparently only northern" driv-in. We saw Wall.E and about 30 min. of the new narnia movie. All the kids were so tired they were getting giddy and the windows were fogging up cause it was to cold outside to sit and watch in lawn chairs "50 degrees" so we came back to the cabin and everyone went right to sleep.

"this picture was taken after we ate at the "hungry tummy" cool name but nasty food. Apparently they have some amazing pizza. But i'll take their word for it!
Here is a pic of sierra and I. I have one of sassy too but it's on sierra camera. I'll figure out how to get it.

Sierra also brought another girl friend and another guy friend.
Someday I might get them all together to get a pic. :-)
