The Diners Drive-Ins & Dives Tour

So this morning on a whim I decided to head to Lake MI to see the icebergs one last time this season and when we got there, all had melted away. It was both a joyous look ahead to spring and a let down that the alien ice garden was gone.
What to do next? I asked jeremie if he was hungry and he told me he was so I started driving north towards Rosie's Diner. I just knew it was north of Grand Rapids off the 131. I suppose it took us about an hour to get up there and thanks to Google's 411 we got the address and popped it on the TomTom.
Everyone should remember the diner from the paper towel commercials of our childhoods, but I saw it on Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network a couple of years ago. It looks exactly like the commercials, but the food certainly was not as good as it seemed on the show.

On Valentine's Day this year we drove over to Joe's Gizzard City outside of Lansing, another featured dive from Triple-D and the gizzards were awesome, everything else including the service was horrible. I've come to expect it as the places we went to in AZ and IL that were featured have been the same way.
Matt's Big Breakfast, Chino Bandido, Hot Dougs, Joe's Gizzard City, Rosie's Diner... where to next?

Business As Unusual

So I am nearly done with the google site I have created for the purpose of gaining employment in Michigan... Still so much to do, but I must draw the line at some point and the point is rapidly approaching!! Just going to add a couple more mini articles about design and photos to go along with my accolades. Done!

I just sat down with my new business coach Matt this evening and I am all together ecstatic over the new venture I have begun! Financial freedom is on the horizon people! I am going to have it, and I am going to live in my travel trailer and I am going to see the country, and I am going to then see the continent, and then I am going to take classes to stop run-on sentences, but, until then... I am just going to enjoy my life and all of it's verbs and adjectives.

Sewing up the 1st beach bag of the season is taking longer than expected, I am on the Project Runway learning curve! I've got 50 brand spanking new stitches to perfect and this whole drop in bobbin business is brilliant! How did I got 18 years without it? Ignorance I say! Pics will be posted.
