If you never try you will never know.
I was born in Michigan and spent my childhood there. Michigan holds all my most cherished family memories.
Pasties-these are a Michigan staple. They come from the upper peninsula. The miners would eat them at their lunch time. My grandma taught me how to make them.
Bronners-this store is located in Frankenmuth Michigan. It is the Worlds Largest Christmas store. Open 361 days of the year. We would take a family trip there every year and have a feast at the Bavarian restaurant.
Motown-Detroit is know for Motown music. I grew up listening to it with my parents and grandparents.
Mitten State- Michigan is know as the mitten state for obvious reasons. To this day I hold up my hand and point to different cities. That was how we were taught in school. It's always a great laugh with new people.

Great cards and I love to hear the background! I knew about Motown - that has reached even us in Sweden. The other things were new to me
The hand thing is smart, very pedagogic!
