I was born and raised on Lake Michigan in the vacation town of South Haven. Many of my childhood days were spent with my buddies on the beach from sun up to sun down. I think I learned to swim before I learned to walk. Water and the beach have always been an extemely important part of my life; so much that my husband and I have purchased over the years vacation properties at several unique and desirable locations. I would like others to feel the love of the season and the wonderful lakes Michigan has. I've retired from education and make decorating and renting my fulltime job.
