Chris and Dixie and I left Bayfield on a mild, grey morning heading south to the border at Port Huron. We are beginning our eighth motor home adventure. I never tire of road trips. Watching life roll by ignites my imagination. I have not posted a travel blog in awhile so will use mainly photos to show the progress of our first few days.
Sales here have really hopped-up since October; thanks Justin.
Sugar Beet harvest in progress just an hour from home.

Dixie is happy that we brought her puffy bed. (this is a colour photo)

Love these untouched old American towns.
After a seven hour drive, we were very ready for a rest.
Wonderful to have a sunny day!
Always “young at heart”
There’s always one maverick in every flock!

So lucky to have a warm, sunny afternoon. We were able to sit outside.

Festive decorations at the resort.
Bridge links the resort and campground.
Both ends of the RV spectrum, the itty bitty…… to
the humongous.
Lawns have been decorated in Christmas colours.
Young buck wanders past our motorhome.
Through the snow, he enjoys a lakeview.
First hot choc0late of the season, homemade bread and soup in Weston.
So many small towns have their share of beautiful old architecture.
Love the vintage Christmas decorations in small towns, I am vintage after all!
Free entrance, amazing collection of everything glass. “American Museum
of Glass”
Cases filled with glass items from all eras.
Watched these being made in the 1960’s in Massachusetts. Got a blue one.
Want!
Always loved this as my Grandad had a kitchen set.
The artwork on the glass varied from simple, sophisticated, funky and fun.
See Shirley in the background?
Hundreds of paper weights!
Variety and details outstanding.
Many displays educated visitors about glass chemistry and production.
Wooden and metal molds of many designs.
These “chicks” are from 1904 through to the 1980’s.

Inviting, comfy library crammed with books about glass.
Quaint lamp stands. Want this!
Got my fill of vintage advertising and labels.

Our second and third days were snowy and cold but added a new look to everything. Glad we have our heated mattress pad.
Dixie is always happy to frolic in the white stuff.
Glad we flew all the way down from Canada for warm weather!
