Jennifer turns 50, and a great visit with the Schwarz family

It's hard to believe that I haven't been back to Michigan in 2 years. Time flies.
So when a $180 round trip airfare with Delta popped up a few weeks ago, I grabbed a flight and arrived in Detroit to surprise Jennifer Yess on her 50th birthday.  What fun it was to do so!

Thanks to Julie Rybicki quickly organizing a surprise lunch for Jen with a few of our ol' GM pals, I was able to walk in and join the celebration!  Then later on that Saturday night, I was treated to dinner at the top of the Ren Cen at Coach Insignia restaurant with Jen, John and 4 others.  I think John paid more for my dinner than my flight cost!


And then there were the Schwarz kids! I'd been looking for a reason to get there! Beautiful 21 month old Bella and her baby brother Bryan, just 2 months old! Me and Mom Alexis spent several days together playing, feeding, rocking, changing diapers, cooking, and lots of talking and hugging! It was so fun to see these lovely babies, and to give Alexis, and Jon, a little break. What a treasured time for me!

Several friends came by at Alexis' to visit with me so I could help out AND see people.  Penny through a family party on Friday night, so I was able to catch up all those fun kids and parents.

There are still some great airfare deals popping up.  I may have to do this again soon!

Love you all!
