Fresh temptations in Torch Lake Township
As Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I went about our daily rounds, we noticed a number of enhancements to the overall business environment. Dale Burns over at Margaritaville North painted some of his deck chairs a brilliant red, and tricked out another in a cow pattern. The paint is particularly glossy and virtually bulletproof. I […]
Business development is where you find it
August 2, 2009
A couple of weeks ago my friend Carol Park came up to visit. We had lunch at the Blue Pelican and then meandered back to Eastport along M-88, taking in the sights—and some apricots from King’s. In mid-July the markets are humming, and we contributed our share of buzz. Those are my cherries and raspberries […]
Dinosaurs and Dr. Seuss trees in Edenshores

My mind wandered to my containers, all of them completely neglected since last summer. My feet wandered out to the deck to inspect the one on the railing. Perhaps it was not […]

Last Friday Dale Burns had his display of chairs set up in front of the cabin on US-31, so I stopped. He was hosting a pile of holiday visitors but took time out to tell me his story. Dale lived up here for about ten years, fixed up a classic cabin, and then decided to go downstate […]
Hay Dawg!
July 4, 2009
Last weekend I was driving past Bargy’s Farm Market when I was captivated by two mysteries. A tower of baled hay, clearly on its way to becoming something else, stood on the grass. Nearby a teenage girl waved a cardboard sign that I couldn’t read. I stopped. Once Ashley had lured me close enough to […]
