You Colour my World!

For many years to celebrate our October 25 Anniversary~ Stephen & I would take a drive to a different location somewhere in northern Michigan to see the beautiful autumn colors. It had been quite a while since we had gone so we jumped in the car and started to drive!! Wow what a beautiful state we live in! If you get the chance say "Yes!" to MICHIGAN and go see the beauty it has to offer!! and after 29 years of marriage i can still say "You Colour My World! Stephen i love you!! Oh and he was able to squeeze in 18 holes of golf too.
