Moon rises over Blue Heaven
Meander north along US-31 through Torch Lake Township, which is pretty much the only way you can make the trip, and you will find the entrance to Blue Heaven right across the highway from the entrance to Eden Shores. Those 1920s real estate developers were wily. But maybe they had it right.
Lois Dawson paints the fence
August 24, 2010
On Sunday I was driving along east of Torch Lake in need of bucking up. Maybe Lois Dawson would like to go for a walk. When I got over there, Gary was washing windows and Lois was in the kitchen. Maybe this was not a good time. No, it was a fine time. Here, I should bury my nose in this bundle of sage. It would make me feel better. Wait a minute while the beans got started, and we'd go. (Lois and I would go. Gary would stay and tend the beans. He looked suspiciously contented when we left.)

Civil War veterans raising what-for in the Township
August 21, 2010
I tell you, those folks who've been occupying my every waking moment for almost a year now are spilling over into public life in the Township as well. I must be getting close to something. The question would be, what?!?
Gone fishin’
August 20, 2010
OK, we’ve been a little quiet over here. We’ve been thinking. We’re still thinking, but yesterday we walked and thought at the same time, which is progress. While we were walking we noticed a windsurfer way out on the Bay, skimming along, having a wonderful . . . oops! We were worried for a little […]
