Home Sweet Houghton

If you had told me a couple of years ago that I would be leaving my very comfortable and happy life in St. Louis and moving to Michigan’s rugged and scenic Upper Peninsula I never would have believed you.  Even less would I have guessed that I would be moving to one of the most northern points of that already northern area, specifically Houghton on the Keweenaw Peninsula (that’s pronounced KEE-wi-naw). Indeed, plenty of people in St. Louis and elsewhere thought we were out of our minds to even consider a move like this.  I’m here to tell them (and you) that while it hasn’t always been easy, it’s absolutely been worth it and we’re having a great time.  Come on in, Lake Superior’s water may be cold, but it’s fine!
