And I'll be sure to tell the kids. Ah the deep philosophical questions it will raise: Our house: under-cleaned dump (because your lazy ass mother grew up with servants and is too busy being creative to vacuum) or joyous wonderland (because of same)? Come on kids, lets hold on to BOTH realities!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889294120616809157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133147170181934597.post-86182229168417389012009-11-12T13:58:02.764-05:002009-11-12T13:58:02.764-05:00And I've never, for a single moment, ever want...And I've never, for a single moment, ever wanted to go to Michigan (and I grew up in slushy gray Pittsburgh).<br /><br />You know, sometimes your house seems like wonderland to me :) I love what you've built.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020762171401291148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133147170181934597.post-52998120456449078282009-11-12T13:39:51.521-05:002009-11-12T13:39:51.521-05:00Thanks all!
Jason - They could use the tourist $$...Thanks all!<br /><br />Jason - They could use the tourist $$, but it ain't no wonderland, and I'd say, coming from New Oreleans, you know enough about devastation....<br /><br />Brett - I often find that geography, an those other sticky technicalities known as "reality", are out of line with my perceptions, childhood and otherwise. In Laos, we lived near a beautiful house with lots and lots of colored lights on it. Oh how I loved that house and oh how I longed for my parents to make ours as lovely by adding colored lights.<br /><br />A few years back my parents told me that it was a whore house, thus the lights advertising... um... openness of all kinds. Reality? I say both the starlit house of my memory and the certain misery that lived in it are real.<br /><br />But, yes, college towns are their own kingdoms....Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889294120616809157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133147170181934597.post-70937052917004163412009-11-12T13:12:56.785-05:002009-11-12T13:12:56.785-05:00since moving to michigan, i have, at points, indee...since moving to michigan, i have, at points, indeed felt like an oppressed heroine, but otherwise see absolutely no correlation with reality in your description of this place.<br /><br />(and i think the disconnect was due partly to the innocence of your youth, but also because ann arbor is only "in michigan" by a geographic technicality.)Brett Schutzmanhttp://maproomsystems.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133147170181934597.post-23496545991652160572009-11-12T12:46:49.841-05:002009-11-12T12:46:49.841-05:00Great post....the picture is adorable.Great post....the picture is adorable.sagewebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818567803401688931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133147170181934597.post-37182065769633223212009-11-12T07:40:04.483-05:002009-11-12T07:40:04.483-05:00Ah...makes me want to go to Michigan!
