The Weatherman delivers news and cookies
Bruce the Weatherman is a versatile sort of man. On Friday he drove through a blizzard to deliver some of Andi’s homemade cookies to the Writing Studio and Bait Shop. Then he sent a Weather Report that I know all you snowbirds will enjoy. He wrote: The impressive cold has had me watching the ice […]
Fox on duty

On Sunday Babs sent her weekly Michigan Pic. She wrote: This foxy lady is sitting in the middle of Torch Lake looking for her partner who is closer to the west side, the best side. And as of today Torch Lake is frozen as far as I can see. This was Saturday. Then Babs sent […]

But one Regular Reader was always in a category by himself. LaMirada Bob reigned supreme as the Father of All Bloggers. Well, […]
Blowin’ in the wind
January 8, 2014
Note: I’m tidying up the mulch pile, finishing perfectly good musings I never got around to posting on TLV. Waste not want not. Besides, it’s too cold out to go gallivanting around the countryside taking pictures. Back in October 2012 I trotted into the Elk Rapids Library and was brought up short by swaths of […]
