It's nice to know where the bloggers are from, so many different areas. You are not too far from Ironwood MI? That's where my former college roommate was from and she always spoke of how cold it got. Interesting facts about the lake. I always loved the song The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I thought it was much older but it's not!Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430574198775498108.post-71034075225639342322013-02-05T17:03:58.537-06:002013-02-05T17:03:58.537-06:00Hello! your blog is great, I'd love you to joi...Hello! your blog is great, I'd love you to join my travel websites, and you put my link on your site, and so we benefit both.<br /><br />I await your response to munekitacate@gmail.com<br /><br />kisses!<br />EmiliaEmilia Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12743045881316627889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430574198775498108.post-4195993039592704892013-02-05T16:49:58.842-06:002013-02-05T16:49:58.842-06:00This is really interesting thanks for sharing.
