Hi Mark,
I'm glad your bio is posted! I agree with you on Michigan being a beautiful place, I didn't grow up here but I've also been here in west MI for 27 years in Grand Rapids...the scenery is like a cathedral and the people are a song :) My mother-in-law also returned up here after living in Florida for 17 years...even though she knows it looks like this for many months (actually I love this!)
