Last weekend even I was surprised a little by the weather having been in Michigan all my life. Was delighted to see it didn’t “rein” on anyone’s parade.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even the waddlers I meet from down south were troopers!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When I was on my way home I got a few calls from family members asking how it went, I said over and over the weather was crazy but we survived.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That phrase “we survived” stuck in my head and as I looked at pictures thought hmmmmmm this was definitely a waddle to remember!<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></div>
