To see some of the things we saw today at Meadow Brook.
We had a wonderful day today. Went up to Rochester and toured Meadow Brook Hall, which was glorious with its Christmas decorations.
After that we drove over to my home town, Lake Orion, and had dinner. The drive was beautiful, passing by Paint Creek, and some of the lakes that stud the Lake Orion area.
Then we headed over to Clarkston before coming home.
It was really nice to see my old stomping grounds from my childhood, particularly with none of the baggage from that rotten childhood. It was great showing the kids how pretty northern Oakland County is, with its hills and streams and numerous lakes. It was great showing them Lake Orion, where I grew up and neighboring Rochester and Clarkston, with no baggage and no pain. Just beautiful places, and a nice place to eat dinner.
Time does heal -and it probably helps that things have changed enough to make them fairly different - but not enough to be completely unrecognizable.
It was a wonderful day. A happy day. One to remember. One filled with beauty.
