The area is nice, with plenty of woods and lakes to visit.<br /><br />I'm from Missouri, so I was much amused when I heard them call it pop instead of soda when I first moved here. Sounds like something you read about in books from the 40s or something. <br /><br />Unfortunately, autumn is only about two weeks long up here.<br /><br />If you want the character to sound like they’ve lived in Michigan a while, have them point at their left hand to indicate where a town (or something else) is located. <br />Chemist Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738272332470397248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-87987991056746945622016-08-17T14:01:01.035-04:002016-08-17T14:01:01.035-04:00It is a beautiful state. :)
