Last week was an emotional and disastrous one for so many people and families in Texas due to the damage and devastation caused by the late summer wild fires! Â Sunday was also the 10th Anniversary of the 9-11 Â tragedy which was very emotional. Â Here we are with a fresh new week full of new hope and recovery and I thought I would post more of my favorite sunrise pictures for you. Â I am also including some from Majic 95.5 listener Lucy Perez. Â Thank you for sharing Lucy!!

It's hard to believe that summer is almost over and the kids are back in school! Â When I was in school one of my first homework assignments was to tell the class what I did on my summer vacation. Â This year I spent my first summer in 6 years in my home state of Michigan !! Â Here are some of my favorite photo's from my trip! Â Enjoy!
- I lived in St. Joseph Michigan for most of my teenage years!! It's a beautiful town on the banks of Lake Michigan !! You can see the lights of Chicago on the other side at night!
