This reminds me of a couple I met while my ex and I were living in a travel trailer some years back. They were in the camp ground space next to me for awhile.
Talking with them they said, they were there visiting with their grandkids who lived in the near by town. They said, they traveled around the country visiting the kids and grandkids all summer long. Then in the winter they went to their place in the Michigan Upper Peninsula for the winter. Just the opposite of all the other snowbirds. "The UP", I asked incrediously? "Oh yes, we love snowmobiling and cross country skiing", they replied. "The winter is our favorite time. We have a pole barn on our property up there. IT has a fireplace and hookups for the trailer inside." "We just pull the trailer inside, and use it as the bedroom, kitchen, and bath" they told me. "The area by the fireplace becomes our living room. The rest of the year we store our snowmobiles and other winter stuff in it. We just love the winter up there and all the snow", they finished. Just goes to show: The optimist's cup is half full, The pessimist's is half empty, The wise man enjoys his drink. --graywolf ------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > It's called "the Wisconsin winter." > > So okay, Wisconsin is a paradise...for seven months of the year.
