Travelog post for: Batty

Hello!  Guess what?  I have a new friend!  His name is Tatanka.  He arrived the other day, just before my friend Willy_W left to go back to Germany.



Before he left, we all got antiquated, and had a nice relaxing afternoon writing postcards, eating snacks, and watching TV.



Then we went out for dinner, and saw the harbor.  This is the grand River, and far in the background you  might be able to see the pier where it joined Lake Michigan.



This morning was the day after Valentine's Day.  Mel had no sweetheart to celebrate with, but she did decide to celebrate Cheap Chocolate day and Discount Flower Day!  Hmm, which roses should we choose?  So many pretty colors!



The candy was also on sale, though we were good and only got one bag.



Fat Tuesday is coming up, I guess?  Have you ever had Packzis? 



Then we had to go and get some things for dinner tonight.  So many pretty colors of peppers!  Too bad Mel doesn't like peppers.  She got tomatoes and lettuce instead.  But they weren't as colorful.



We had snow a couple of days ago, but it is all melting today.  What a strange Winter here in the USA!  I hear t is strange at home too, but not in as nice a way.  Stay warm!  I miss you!
