Houghton trip
The trip was sad because it was for my brothers funeral but it was so nice to be able to stay together with my remaining brothers and sisters in the same house. We haven’t stayed in the same house for over 50 years. The house was not as modern as the houses we live in but reminded us of our grandparents houses in the houghton area where we spent our vacation every year when kids.

Rough around the edges.
This property served the purpose of providing a place to sleep. Heating was tricky and a radiator dripped into a pan that we had to dump periodically. One bed broke as someone sat down to remove their shoes. The owner came the next day to do a temporary fix. Fortunately there was an extra bed. Mysteriously, there was dog poop in the house after the owner fixed the bed. The kitchen had very little for cooking products and utensils. One chair in the living room was broken. Bathroom towels in second bathroom were raggedy. Snow was plowed nicely but no salt on the cement steps up to the house. We will not be returning.
