Speaking of the University of Michigan...we thought we would give Alex a taste of Michigan in the winter so we planned a college visit for the U of M Campus Day during President's weekend. Well, wouldn't you know it but we had beautiful blue skies and sunny days for the first part of the weekend and got out just before a winter storm hit on Sunday afternoon! It was great to see that while some things have changed in the 30 years since we graduated, mch has stayed the same...my sorority house (ADPi) is still as wonderful as it was when I was there and the girls seem just as nice as all of us were (ok, I'm not too modest!), Ted's fraternity house (Fiji) is still standing although after seeing the interior, I can't imagine how...it definitely looks like a house with 50-60 teenage boys/young men living in it with no adult influence...yuck! "The Rock" is still at the corner of Hill and Washtenaw and it must have at least 1000 layers of paint on it...the Diag is still bustling but missing the craziness of Crazy Jake (an icon when we went to school in the 70's), Mason Hall still has the Fishbowl, the UGLI is still ugly although it's now named the Shapiro Library, West Engin still welcomes you to the diag even though the Engineering school is now up on North Campus, Ulrich's, the bookstore, is still there although their inventory seemed a bit low, the Law Library is still the quietest place on campus, and the Michigan Union, the gathering place for students, is still the same place where John F. Kennedy started the Peace Corps!
It was a great visit for Alex and Ted and I....2 of us looking back at the memories of 4 great years (in Ted's case...5!) and one of us looking forward towards all of the memories that are yet to come!
While Alex's mind is cluttered with decisions yet to be made, Clutter is cluttered with wonderful furniture! Here is just some of the inventory we have in the store...we hope you come and check it all out...

ReplyDeleteHope your daughter makes the right decision. My parents both went to UMich and loved it. It's where they met. I took my Mom back there in 2002. It's such a lovely campus.
I met my husband on a blind date at Michigan State in the 24" snow storm of 1967. Great introduction to Winter in Michigan :)
She made the right decision...GO BLUE!!
