That's a great list! But I'm curious, why are you grateful for the DNR?

Elizabeth- I'm grateful for the DNR because they do great things for green spaces in the state. I love the state parks system, a lot.

I thought DNR meant "Do not Resuscitate" and was wondering also why you loved it.

-ann arbor in the fall
-winter boots (not ugs)
-colorful gloves
-family
