We are leaving this lovely place today. I would like to stay here a month – the health foods are very good and I have enjoyed them. Hope to see you soon. K.
Bob surprised me with these beautiful cards from the Lansing postcard expo. If you are not familiar with the Battle Creek San, this wiki has all the history. Perhaps you’ve seen The Road to Wellville?
This was the place to have high school proms when I was in school. It didn’t have the palm garden in those days, though. I’d like a palm garden in my house. I think it would improve my health and well being, especially during winter months!
