Good morning.
Welcome home Bill and Rita. It sounds like you had a long day but that likely only made your own bed that much more appealing when you got home.
I have to say that all of the folks that we met in Frankenmuth were all living breathing advertisements for spending time in their area. From the employees at Bronner's Christmas Store to the clerk in the post office to the young ladies in the two coffee shops we visited, EVERYONE was pleasant, super friendly and could not have been nicer. The folks at The Drury all came around the front desk to see Ava. The young maintenance fella even sat right down on the floor with her. Sadly, dogs are NOT allowed in most places in town.
Yes, Pat. Every Drury has their nightly "wine tasting" to go along with their 5:30 kickback.
We did make our way to a shopping complex called The Village of Rochester Hills on the way home Kathie. They had a Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and the worst Starbucks I have ever been in. Lots of shops with shiny things and clothes for Lu-Ann. Not a hardware store in the whole place for guys. 
From your description Aunt Tass kinda reminds me of Marcia's Aunt Willy?
Dave, with the cost of living increases in my retirement package I do better increase wise annually than I ever did while I was working. Any collective agreements Canada Post signs now have no impact on my pension.
Mornin' Karen. What mischief are you and your sisters up to today?
Apple Festival in a town about 30 minutes from here so we're heading out for a wander and look about. After Her Royal Highness gets her walk at The Navy Yard. I'm talkin' Ava here, Not Lu-Ann. Boy, if she reads that I'm gonna get a hurt put on me!
You all have a fantastic day.
