A year ago this week, Terry and I headed north for Thanksgiving. We stopped in Memphis to celebrate our 7th anniversary, eating yummy food and listening to great music. We spent a few days in Chicago checking on our condo, visiting family and playing tourists… And we wrapped up the week in Detroit for the […]
