February...

Ok...so that totally crept right up on me. Does it not seem like just...yesterday we were ringing in the new year??? Why must time fly by?

Well...I have several times over the last few weeks thought of several great things to blog about...and then life happened...and I didn't sit down and blog about them. And...do you think that I can remember those great things now...of course not.

So...I will just post something funny...and maybe I will remember the great things
soon!

You might be from Michigan...

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling
through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food
will swim by, you might live in Michigan.

If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96
nights each year because Pellston is the coldest spot in the nation, you
might live in Michigan.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March,
you might live in Michigan.

If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of
the year, you might live in Michigan.

If someone in a store offers you assistance and they don't work
there, you might live in Michigan.

If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle
of his forehead, you might live in Michigan.

If you have worn shorts and a coat at the same time, you might
live in Michigan.

If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might
live in Michigan.

If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone
who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Michigan.
