rewind.... to mid September. We had an amazing weekend in Detroit for the design festival.

Art Deco Architecture. Wonderful people. Grit, design, industry is Detroit.
WE LOVE DETROIT! What an amazing place. Great eats. So much to see. Flew into Toronto and saw family on our trip in both directions. Wonderful to be in one of our family's favorite places.
We drove under the Detroit River to enter Detroit and left through Port Heron, where my Mother-in-Law was from. So cathartic to see Windsor where my partner began life, and traverse all the places he grew to be who he is today.

October

...already mid-October. hard to beleive

Crisp nights have arrived. Woodstove cranking along and our new kitten is resting comfortable near the hearth. Our college junior brought her home to surprise our tenth grader last Friday night. Such fun to watch a new soul exploring her world. climbing curtains, chasing our jack russell and older kitty.
