barb, You know Toledo...ugly with grey skies late Dec. till mid April. It fills your heart with joy to see a blue sky.There were little floods all over (we saw wild ducks by a creek while driving near home). Our corner to about 200 feet up the street always floods (gezzz, there were kids riding their bikes in it & it looked like at the deepest point the sewer water (yuk) came up about 10 inches).
Where did you live, barb? We live in the north west side about 5 miles south of Michigan. Before 'a city was built', Toledo was mostly mud. Why do you think the mascot for the city baseball team is a mud hen? You were rather smart to leave. The thing that keeps us here is my DH's job & aging parents (the other siblings left). It's not too exciting here either. The only ppl here were those born here. http://www.metrolyrics.com/saturday-...hn-denver.html
