    I'm your Michigander, geriatric, in the best shape of my life at 65 follower. I'm in Michigan and really should have gotten myself to Canada before the catastrophic flu 😼🤔 struck. I honestly cannot recall the last time I had a cold, much less a flu. I pray for all of us, in every breathing area on this Earth that we can in some small way have a Blessed 2023. I want that for you, Brooklyn, Penny, Stella, Amber and all of your loved ones Matthew......Hello Amber!!
    Be well my friends, Be Safe but most of all Be Joyful everyday ☃️🔥🔥✨😻💙💞

I emphasize good times with friends more and more every year as we all get older and our lives change accordingly. I hope the New Year brings you much joy and success in everything you choose to do!

    We all have holidays that don’t go totally according to plan, yet the memories are always some of the best joy will have.
    The scenic forests & snow, the cold that bites at your nose, a tow truck to make it complete, I guarantee this picture is going to be great in the next ten years.
    Happy Holidays All!
