You are a beacon for me :)<br /><br />How kind, Debbie. Thank you :)<br /><br />Thank you, Jarlin. Your site is also refreshing!<br /><br />Hi Michigan Monica ... get your yourself back up there! A national treasure, fudge or no fudge, it's the perfect summer get-away! <br /><br />Marnie, you would delight in knowing nothing has changed ... stepping back in time is what Mackinac Island is all about! The Topiary horses are from gifted artists ... delighted to know them and deal with many on a personal basis. <br /><br />Oh do come, dear Marmee ... perhaps we could all meet there someday.

But can you believe that, at age 43 and a resident of Michigan since age 4, I've only been to Mackinac Island twice?! And i was 6 the first time, so I really only remember the visit as an adult. It's a wonderful places (fudge shops notwithstanding. I know I'm a freak but I don't care for fudge! ;-).Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-67844320722110755342009-06-09T02:20:09.506-04:002009-06-09T02:20:09.506-04:00Amazing pictures...it made me to refresh.
