Ann Arbor

Indenfor den sidste uge har jeg for første gang hørt om Ann Arbor, som er en by i Michigan. Helt oppe nord for Chicago, tæt på Canada og beliggende på en halvø i den kæmpestore Michigan-sø.
Der er vist både varme somre og meget kolde vintre med sne-garanti. Både Toronto og Niagara Falls er indenfor en overskuelig rækkevidde og der er ikke bare et par spændende garnbutikker, men vistnok også et årligt kunst-marked.
Hvorfor det er interessant? Jo, min søster har fået arbejde derovre, så til sommer rykker de til USA igen. Det bliver trist og dejligt. Trist, fordi så bor de ikke i nærheden. Dejligt, fordi det er så absurd hyggeligt at rejse over og besøge dem! Det bliver nok lidt færre end 4 gange om året, men jeg kommer! Den vigtigste grund til at glæde sig er, at de alle 5 har savnet USA og virkelig ønsket at komme derover og bo igen, samt at min søsters job ser vildt spændende ud....

During the last week I've heard about Ann Arbor for the very first time. A city in Michigan, north of Chicago, very close to Canada and located on a peninsula in the giant Michigan-lake.
They seem to have warm summers and very cold winters with snow. Toronto and Niagara Falls are not too far away, and not only do they have a couple of nice-looking yarn shops, but also a yearly art-market, I think.
So - why is this interesting? Well. My sister has got a job there, which means the family will move to the states again this summer. It is sad and lovely. Sad, because then they won't live near to my place. Lovely, because it's just great going there to visit them! I guess it will be somewhat less than 4 times a year, but I'll come! The most important reason to be happy is that all 5 of them really missed the States and have been dreaming of living there again. And my soster's new job really looks exciting!
