Fourth of July at Blue Heaven

July 5, 2010

7

Babs Young grew up coming to the family cottage on Torch Lake.  Every year she spent the summer with other children whose families had cottages here, too.  When a resort has that kind of history, the neighbors are like family.  You will understand, then, that this Fourth of July has been bittersweet for her.  Last night she […]

Fourth of July in a small town

July 4, 2010

21

I am burned to a crisp and unaccountably came home with a t-shirt dress with a wolf on it. Really, it doesn’t get any better than this. Not if you want to understand us as we really are when we’re at home. Not if you want to remember the summers of your childhood. Over in […]

Happy Mothers Day

It’s a bouncy, sunny day in the drumlins and we intend to make good use of it.  It began with a lovely surprise.  The Gotts, the neighbors across the way who visit only on weekends and as many summer days as they can manage, brought me a Mothers Day daffodil from their garden.  Thank you! I put it […]

Delights of early spring

March 31, 2010

15

It has warmed up considerably in the last couple of days, and everyone is a little giddy.  The Easter lilies at the Eastport Market, tightly closed buds last week, were wide open and fragrant tonight.  When we closed up at 9:00 we could hear the peepers in the wetlands to the west.  Half an hour […]
