I had no idea, Monday, as I hopped on my not so normal bus and much later than usual, that I would end up sitting right next to a former co-worker from the Grand Hotel, circa summer 1998 (in Michigan mind you!). Thanks to her good memory and assertiveness, she figured out the connection and recognized me, otherwise I would have never known. So, I have had Mackinac on my mind all week. If you really want to experience a world where people ride around on bicycles laden with baskets of flowers and wear seersucker suits and plant hundreds of lilacs, go to Mackinac. I could write a lot of posts about this lovely place, including the interiors of the hotel that were designed by Dorothy Draper Co. Isn’t that light in the cupola of the hotel marvelous?
