1 2420 North Street Milford. MI Closing Time Another year nears to the time For thanks for all that s done. We didn t do it all ourselves. Some others helped the run. The farmers had help from above. They work and toil and pray And get us all prepared to have A great Thanksgiving Day. Joe Medrano And YOU helped the run. I am so thankful for all of you who have chosen to join our traveling group of friends. I am so thankful for those of you who share ideas, thankful for those who give a helping hand on trip days, thankful for Joe who is always there with a poem and a hug (and more too!!), and thankful for the friendship we have all shared throughout the years. I really do love my extended family. This update is a bit early this month, because it s a crazy time of year! Shortly after our trip to test Lady Luck at Kewadin, I m off on a 2 week Greek Isles Cruise. When we return there will be time to do some laundry before our 2 bus trip to Chicago to see Hamilton. Then shortly after that we ll go to Frankenmuth to see The New Odyssey s farewell performance. Busy, busy, and super fun time. December doesn t get boring as we go to Tara for a wonderful Christmas trip then no time to do laundry before we go to New York City. One day off then on to Turkeyville for their Christmas show. Then I get to do laundry and sleep a bit before testing Lady Luck at Firekeepers on New Year s Eve day. Wow!!! I will be attending a huge travel conference in February and meeting travel suppliers from all over the USA. I ll come back with tons of ideas and plans for our group. If you have any destinations in mind at all, please let me know and I ll see what I can do. All trips will be departing from the Target store on Carpenter Road near Ellsworth. We ll park near the McDonald s, so you can grab a quick cup of coffee before boarding the coach. Thank you Target for allowing us to use your parking lot!
