So there was an earthquake on the East Coast today. It was supposedly felt in North Carolina but nobody in the family felt it. It was a 5.8 with is an decent size but not too bad. Gee, the reason most of the relatives give for not visiting Calif is the earthquakes. I guess that excuse is no good anymore since they have them now. We do know that NC is awaiting a hurricane this weekend. We are keeping an eye on the weather channel as it is suppose to hit there on Sat. We hope everyone will be fine.
Today we drove to Frankenmuth, MI to visit the "world's largest Christmas store", called Bronner's. It was about 20 miles away and a nice drive through the farmland. I saw a number of veggies stands that I will be visiting this week. Frankenmuth is known as the Bavaria of Michigan. It is similar to Solvang in Calif but not as centrally located. It isn't as easy of a walking town. We didn't visit all of downtown, we may go back later this week. We planned on visiting Bronner's and an RV dealer we thought we remembered. Turns out we were wrong on the RV dealer but did get to the store. It really is big and there are all kinds of things inside. Luckily, I couldn't buy stuff as I don't have anywhere to put it. You could easily spend a couple of hours here. I took some pictures of the outside and inside of the store.

Wish I were there---really. Clay had surgery Aug 12 & came home Aug 19th. H had to have bones amputated from his foot in big toe, little toe and both sides of the foot due to infection inside the bones. He was ok the first 2 days home and now has turned into a meanie. He is supposed to be staying off his feet only to get up to go to bathroom, but he is not listening. A wound vac is hooked up to his foot and he keeps messing with it. Visiting nurses are here 3 times a week. HELP!
Definitely wish I were there.
