No worries TIS. My Grandma passed away back in 2007 at 94. This is her sister, my Aunt who will be 94 next week. In a way, I'm glad I didn't see her this trip so I can remember her as a strong healthy woman when I saw her two years ago. smile

I think El Niño may give the east coast a break this year. Maybe they will end up having a very mild winter while we here in CA get beat up with storms.

You are in the right state for nice warm weather that's for sure. CA is great. I can imagine how awful it must be for you in that cold winter weather in MI!
