My beautiful home town of Marquette, Michigan. It's always a great summer when I get to spend a nice chunk of time here. This is where my oldest and most weathered friends are (poor folks), where I feel most at home, and where I smile the biggest. It was really nice catching up with friends and getting to hang out with mother dearest. Highlights included, having a "Joe Dirt" party with the Economedies family (complete with Dirt Pie), taking a hike along Pictured Rocks National Shoreline with my mom, exploring the mtn bike trails with Dennis, sailing (including a 4th of July sail with my mom on the beautiful Coaster II) with great friends, running up Sugar Loaf, swimming daily in Lake Superior, teaching mom to kayak on Deer Lake, eating Gilberts ice cream, and visiting my Alaska friends up at their lakeshore pad in Big Bay. Below is the cutest couple on the planet, and a couple of my closest homegrown friends (Niko and Jill-Just Married Can You Tell?) Gotta Love Them!
