    seeing it for the first time…and i misrepresented it with words…it's a cabin,  not a summer home.  and what i'd not understood is the expanse of lakefront.  there is a beauty Full video i wish  i could bring here,  of her small self,  squatting as she makes these marks,  small self,   the expanse of shore,  the expanse of  Lake Michigan

    so….it's April 22,  right?      isn't it?    i check/checked   again and again…..thinking i must be making some mistake,  but yes,  it is.    the one day of the year we have decided to call    Earth Day  

    i woke thinking to check it out and going to look,  the news feeds,    finding

    nothing.

    even my beloved NPR    only until the second to last segment of All Things Considered     

    NO MENTION

    Earth Day

    as i type this,  they are flying.  Alyssia, Jenny and Emrie….to Michigan.   to meet with their father/grandfather's wife,  travel to  Cheboygan where they will take a ferry to Lake Michigan's  Beaver Island,  to the summer house there,   settle matters for it's sale.   

    we  wait here.     Julian opted out.   Uncle Jeff  and   aunt Jazmine next door in the little yellow house.   we'll hold down the fort(s).   10 days.  figure it out on our own.     I wish they didn't go.
