The first weekend of May found us in Michigan with the Jorgensens' to celebrate Tobias's First Communion. It reminded me of the maturity it takes to understand the miracle of the Eucharist and all the preparation that Ambrose did for his the previous year. One minute the cousins are playing, laughing and running around together then dress them up and they look like little men (sometimes even act like it too, wink, wink).
At the party afterwards we relaxed into easy conversation with numerous friends that were there to support Tobias in this life-changing day. What a wonderful way to spend a weekend!
While in Michigan, Greg took Damian and I around Detroit. I learned that Detroit is the second largest city in land mass (first is Jacksonville). Driving down streets you would see nice houses right next door to one like this:
Numerous buildings are abandoned, vandalized, graffiti'd and run down . . .
The stadiums look amazing compared to other parts of the city. Hopefully Detroit can emerge from bankruptcy and develop a plan to turn around the city.
