Upcoming Sibling Shenanigans...



It’s been quite some time since I have been to Michigan to visit my brother.  It’s not that we haven’t gotten together…he drove out to the Land of Lincoln for Thanksgiving and then again for Christmas through New Year’s…and in February we met in the Windy City for the AutoShow.  Well, it’s my turn to travel to him sooo today I booked my Amtrak ticket for Easter weekend which is in 2 weeks.  {Yeah!}  I even decided to splurge and take “Easter Monday” off as well…that way I get to spend all of Easter with the big guy.  On Monday, he will deliver me to the Amtrak station – via Starbucks because I had to bribe him to get him to pick-me-up and take-me-back to the train.  I believe his exact words were, “If I don’t show up to get you, call Dial-A-Ride or a taxi.”  Nice.  Where was I?  Oh, on Monday morning, he will deliver me ( * hoping * ) via Starbucks or the cute little coffeeshop establishment next to Amtrak – all before he heads in to work.  What a guy!!!  I have no idea what we will do that weekend…I know he’s been wanting to clean out and setup his screened-in porch area.  It’s actually quite nice with several windows and hardwood floors.  I’m thinking a table with a couple chairs or a futon / daybed out there.  I think he’s finally seeing my vision for his porch…it’s only taken 4 years.  “Sis, it would be nice to be able to sit out there and read or drink coffee.”  Ummmm…YES!  Yes, it would.  Perhaps we will work on his porch…  I do know this – whatever we do, it will be a blast!!!  I love spending time with this guy.
