Out of Work in Michigan

Here is an interesting blog from NPR with a Sault connection, Out of Work in Michigan.

It details a meeting held in the Sault to begin a series of people who are losing their jobs. I've been watching the news here in Arizona and the job situation isn't good. NBC calls it 'Pink Slip Blues' as the world economy continues to slide.

It's Cold in the Soo

I took this photo last week at my parent's house in the Soo.

I just talked to my mom who wouldn't leave the Soo in the winter for anything. It is -10 degrees right now.

I'm sitting in Phoenix, Arizona watching the sun come up over the mountains and the high temperature today will be in the high 70's.

It is all in what you like. I feel that I have the best of both worlds. In May I will be back on our St. Marys River home watching the sun come up over Sugar Island and loving that.

I took this photo at the Phoenix Zoo last year but it gives you an idea what the blue sky looks like.

Until then, I love the warm weather so I can get outside to exercise. But there is plenty of opportunity for that in the Sault too.

Let me know what you are doing to get through the winter months.

Picture Story from the Soo this week

My husband and I were in the Soo this past week for my grandmother's funeral. Here are a few pictures that I took. You can see there is lots of snow but everything looks beautiful.
