Sharon is my cousin, who lives with her husband near the upper part of Michigan's mitten. I've never been to her home near Torch Lake, but will definitely visit her someday. I needed to give her my new phone number. Don is Sharon's amazing husband. They are both retired now, she worked as an RN and Don was employed at Dow Chemical. She couldn't talk very long, because their son Paul and his family are coming for a visit, tomorrow. They live in Germany and plan to stay with Sharon and Don for a month. This couple has a two year old and a three year old, Sharon will definitely be kept busy! Paul is their older son, Megan is their only daughter and Gary, the youngest lives in Florida. All of them are doing well:) Photo: Mine

Yes, and company for a full month will become very taxing.

Sounds like a very nice family, I am sure they will enjoy that visit from their son since Germany is so far away,

They have had house guests all summer, that's very stressful!

Having company for a month I think would be very challenging, even though it's family. Have a good week.

Having company all summer long, added to this stress.

Those young children will keep them very busy. I love that age.
