hey carrieanne I am very close to you just outside of Rockford...boy do I understand!!!

Unemployment here in Michigan is the highest in the nation currently at 14.1% our area is rural and it runs 20% Seasonal jobs will be starting and many younger ones go to Mackinaw Island for the summer. I live in a small town and without driving for an hour each way there is absolutely nothing. I can't work minimum wage and put on over 100 miles a day, Just wouldn't pay. Not that there are any jobs there either. So we will just tough it out like the rest, Planting a big garden, to eat fresh and can.
