A home the children could call theirs.Monica tells of how they were touring the home a few weeks before the possession date. Audrey was wearing sparkling, red shoes like Dorothy's in the Wizard of Oz."She was clicking her heels together, repeating 'Lifetime Brands Appoints Daniel T Siegel President" Monica says.It's Monday, and that means we've put together this list of things going on in White Lake and Highland to help make your week a little brighter, easier and more fun.
