The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same

In the last week I have trekked from here to Marquette, MI  and many other places along the way.  Marquette was in full fall bloom with plenty of reds, golds, and toasty hues, I felt grateful to see the vibrant fall colors in such a remote and unspoiled area.  I made my usual trek to picturesque Presque Isle Park.  My favorite spot for supper in Marquette is Elizabeths Chop House, the Prime Rib is out of this world and their corn chowder with crab is worth the trip alone.

This week I actually made Osso Bucco (Veal Shanks), I know what you're thinking....over achiever...LOL no really...it is one of those stick in the oven and it comes out like magic...who would have ever thought it would be so easy. 

One of the weekends highlights was time spent with the Perszyk's.  Lynn's parents came to town for parents weekend and instead of Sunday Supper, John and Jen took Lynn and me to Trocadero for Brunch on Saturday.  BTW the Trocadero Omelet was killer.  Spending time with John, Jen, and Lynn was just like old times.  It was so fun.  

Lynn did great in her first set of exams.  I knew she would do great!  She is still rocking it like when she was 2 and 3...steadfast in her focus and interest in reading and learning.  In addition to that, she has mastered the headband, the messy bun, and knows more things you can do with a bobby pin than MacGyver.  The more things change, the more they stay the same.
