Over the summer I’ve been steadily adding links to my “To Blog” folder. My list runneth over so I’m going to simply share a whole bunch of them here since I know I won’t get around to writing posts about them. I think there must be something for everyone here!
And is that pansy cake not one of the most beautiful cakes you’ve ever seen? Want, want, want! LOL!

Well thanks for a good laugh to start my day…I disagreed that I have an accent but then I actually started to SAY all those words out loud and sure enough I say every single one of them with the Michigan accent ! I am a good Michigander I guess!! Karen
Karen,
You are welcome! I laughed through it as well. I don’t think about my accent until I start talking on the phone with someone from another part of the country and realize that I work harder to not use Michigan slang and pronunciations. I thought the history behind it all was quite interesting as well. I love our state!
My daughters 3rd grade teacher was a stickler about milk and pronouncing her T’s at the end of words ……she worked with my daughter not to say mehwk, which is how I say milk, I could NOT hear what the problem was…my daughter still corrects me . Now I hear it. Hysterical.!! Karen
