home sweet home...

we're back from the Sans Souci Euro Inn in New Buffalo MI.
it was ok... nicer than ok, but i feel somewhat robbed.

the website mentions fisherman's cottages. plural. what they offer is two halves of a duplex.
the website shows photos of a very pretty little lake - - it's mucky/murky.
the nice lady on the phone who set up my reservation said pets were welcome - we found out they only mean dogs (cats, apparently, are not pets - - i shudder to think of what they'd say about the bunny)
and we asked to have dinner reservations made for us - none were. fortunately this wasn't an inconvenience for us... but still.
i'd rate the place a 2 to 3 star joint... and have to add that i don't think it merits it's per night price. sigh.

still - we went to the beach - - the sunny shores of lake Michigan - first for a couple of hours on Saturday - when daddy and daughter waded in up to their shoulders! I collected rocks - and still managed to get my rolled up pants too wet and sandy for comfort. Yesterday we went back, with the cat in a bag (he actually loved it - the bag lain on its side a breeze blowing in and through his fur - - though he didn't like the sand much at all)... we got wet and had a BLAST.

back again and we watched Marie Antoinette. I love this movie. seriously.


well, that's it - - another day at work... four more till the weekend.

Sorry to hear the weekend away was less than stellar. And what a hateful woman! ugh! Too bad Genghis couldn't claw her eyes out! Oh well...

And yeah...I LOVE that movie!! Did you notice the pink hightops in with the period shoes...love that!
