Our "business" trip up to Michigan


This past weekend we went on a short vacation into Michigan.  Jerry wanted to check out a 1984 Blazer that looked great on paper, but turned out to be not so good :(  To make this long drive to Grand Rapids more worthwhile, we went antiquing along the way.  We've been on the hunt for a secretary and finally found one in St. Joseph, Michigan.  Originally I wanted a secretary with a hutch on top so I could display  my few treasures, but everyone we looked at that was nice seemed to be over priced with thin drawers that required a delicate touch.  Then we found this one... a good sturdy desk, minus the hutch.  Now we can start looking for a china cabinet ;)

 Views of the secretary open (above) and closed.
 To prove that we actually did go on our mini vacation with the kids... restaurant photos ;)  Here's Jerry and James.

Me and little Peter.  He was such a good boy the whole time!

    Oh my! It matches the buffet perfectly! Too bad the buffet is not in as good of shape as the secretary :/! And LITTLE Peter???? Looks to me like he's grown so very much :) XOXOXO
