MIXX-ing it up in Detriot!

(L-R) Rich, Mae, Emily, Cheryl, Russ, Rusty, Megan and Kirsten

Rich, Mae and I had a great time visiting with Rich's brother, Russ, and his family at their home near Detriot. We really enjoyed hanging out at their beautiful lakeside home and catching up with everyone! Luckily for us, our trip overlapped with Rich's parents -- also in town for Megan's graduation -- and Jenna's last day -- Cheryl's daughter -- so we all got to spend some time together. Good luck to Jenna, who this past weekend moved to Arizona. Also staying with Russ and Cheryl is their granddaughter, Emily, who is now one of Mae's favorite people! Poor Emily couldn't get two steps away from Mae without her crawling after her. But Emily and her friend Hope were so sweet to put up with little Mae's excitement.

While we were there, we got to see Cheryl's new salon -- MIXX -- in downtown Rochester. What a beautiful and glamorous place! Pictures hardly do it justice! Cheryl and Russ have put a lot of work into this new venture and it more than shows. If you are EVER out that way, it is worth a visit -- they have every kind of pampering service you can THINK of!

We had such a great time seeing everyone and catching up -- we were sad to come home! But we hope to be out visiting again soon (I hear from Megan there's an unbelievable scrapbook store that I somehow missed...)
