David and I will come with Sin in tow. For those of you the uninitiated,
Sin is a wonderful brownie-cookie pan thing that really needs to be
tasted to be understood....

Oh, it's pathetically simple, but that'd be up to him. I don't want to
reveal his secrets. ;)

My apologies. I'll be at a wedding this weekend. Otherwise, I'd love to be
there.

While we are still hoping to attend, it is being to look more and more like
we won't be able to manage it. We still have a lot of stuff to move out of
Dewey into storage and the whole place to clean and wash. Just what I love
another anniversary where we will be working so hard that we will probably
forget that it is our anniversary :-). Guess I'll go tell the kids right
now, they won't let us forget.

Glenda, something to keep in mind: Michigan rental laws prevent a landlord
from keeping your security deposit because of dirt or uncleanlyness. Unless
he *also* kept a separate and explicit *cleaning* deposit, any deposit
kept is considered a *damage* deposit and dirt does not equal damage under
Michigan law. Damage is considered to be "wear and tear inflicted upon the
domicle, above and beyond what would be considered normal wear and tear
from the simple act of occupying the residence."
Also, be sure that you send your old landlord your new address, *in writing*
within 4 days of day that you are officially no longer renting the old house.
This is the first step that you have to do to protect yourself in case the
old landlord gets squirrly with your deposit.

I don't know about your lease, Glenda, but the standard U of M lease
(which is used by a lot of landlords) requires tenants to return the
unit to the landlord in the same condition as when taken, cleanliness
included. (see item 17) So despite the correctness of gregc's comments,
you are on the right track.

2 Things Steve:
1.) I was not implying that Glenda should return the house without doing any
cleaning. But, they also don't need to go overboard on the cleaning. I
and other people I've known, have had landlords who demanded that every
speck of dirt be removed before I moved out, or he was going to keep
part of the security deposit for cleaning. Keeping security deposit
money for cleaning is not legal. period.
2.) Under Michigan law, if a lease contains a clause that violates, or seems
to request that you sign away one of your rights under Michigan law, then
that clause is unenforcable. Your landlord cannot re-write Michigan Law
with a lease. So you are free to sign the lease and then ignore that
clause if you so choose. So, I would bet that, if somebody pressed it,
that clause in the UofM lease is probably unenforcable too. I'm betting
they put it in because they figured most college students wouldn't
understand this aspect of renter law, or would be headed out of town
and wouldn't press the matter.

I'd love to attend, but it's quite a drive -- especially when one
doesn't have a car.
Happy anniversary to the Andres, too.

Wow, what a nice time. You're place looks great, the horses
are really beautiful animals, Harley made it, Carl's wife
knows how to make a fantastic sandwich, the volleyball court
is amazing! We had to leave a little early in order to join
some friends at the Bird of Paradise but the picnic was
very nice indeed. Thanks for hosting, Katie.

My family all went together and we had a fabulous time! The sing-along
was my favorite part. Elfrey and Katie both have lovely voices.

I missed almost the entire sing-along, which was fortunate because
I yelled my voice out on the volleyball court. That's all right, I like
volleyball better than singing, anyway. I *do* volleyball better than
singing. I also do nuclear physics better than I do singing, but that's
another story.
I did sit and listen to Katie's annual impression of Judy Garland
singing "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" (yes, I know Judy never sang
this song, but if she did she would have sounded like Katie, except maybe
not as good -- yes, this is a rave), or my year wouldn't have been
complete.
