Not so Confusing Corner

 

The wind storm was so bad

 that the power lines came down on the road behind our house;

and "confusion corner" became

"silent square".

The police and fire started shutting down all roads around our house.

 

they brought in road blocks, and cones, and signs,

 and taped off from tree to tree.

It was hilarious.

 

and because DTE ws so behind,

 I enjoyed five glorious days of silence.

No cars zooming down the street,

no hooligans walking up and down the sidewalk.

Nothing.

Just birds chirping, and squirrels playing.

 

I was so happy. 

Then they came.

DTE fixed that wire and life returned to it's noisy normalcy.

 

They very next day, we awoke to a snowstorm,

and someone had taken out the stop sign on the back corner.

 

The city workers stuck the sign back in

 and propped it up with an old tire and cement blocks;

which remains there still today...

 

Welcome back to "confusion corner".

 

This last Sunday was a beautiful day,

so Terry and I decided to forego our usual estate sale hobby,

and do something different.

 

Neither of us have ever been to the DIA

(Crazy right?)

Lived here all of our 50+ years,

and we've never been to the Detroit Institute of Arts...

 

So we went.

It was really, really nice.

Quiet Sunday morning, just meandering through the maze of exhibits,

and actually seeing paintings by VanGogh, and Renior, etc.

 

We will definitely go back.

 

Then we went to Mexican town,

and had lunch...

 

And drove down the riverfront.

 

Things are really coming together downtown.

Every time we go it gets safer and more enjoyable.

 

Fifteen years ago, when Terry would take me there,

I would be freaked out.

Now, we go down there and feel very comfortable,

and always have a good time.

 

Finally, I thought I should take a goodbye pic of "The Joe".

Who thought those stairs would be a good idea ???
