Local heroes
I wanted a copy of Torch Lake: The History of Was-Wah-Go-Ning by Mary Kay and Ed McDuffie. Fortunately, Babs Young had one. I promised Miss Sadie and the Cowboy a pleasant outing, loaded them into the car, and set off. Babs is in Blue Heaven, just moments away across the highway. The road was fine. It crossed my […]
Decorating for the holidays at the Writing Studio and Bait Shop
December 15, 2009
Last night I took the dogs out at bedtime. The wind had hushed. Icicles glittered from the eaves. But there was something else . . . Snowflakes were caught in spider filaments. I had never seen anything like this before. I was enchanted. I know this last one looks like a plastic ornament from the dimestore, […]

Snow up to there and getting stuck in the garage
December 11, 2009
Cheri Leach and I had planned to get together for breakfast today, but last night she wrote, I don’t know what the roads will be like tomorrow morning, but I am either making up a day in a school OR trying to catch up on paperwork. Let’s look for a time that isn’t so snowy!! […]
