Daytrip: Serendipity on Dexter Street
We were in Elk Rapids Tuesday spending a week’s wages at the Corner Druggist and wishing for something more pleasant to do when there it was. Seed. It’s on Dexter. You can’t miss it. Look for the red rooster weathervane. This is the studio and gallery of Lindy Bishop, recently returned to her northern […]
Cruise the Breezeway, leave the dishes for later
October 14, 2009

August 23, 2009

Storm warnings
August 22, 2009
I had business in Elk Rapids today, and decided to tack on a stroll around town. It was a great day to inspect the harbor, as all the boats were huddled right there where you could see them. I wonder why . . . Then over to the other side of town, where the Elk River […]
