Letters from Katherine: Old Barns

June 3, 2009

Katherine writes: Old barns make me happy. Being an owner of an old barn myself, when I see them in a state of disrepair I feel for the people who own them. It’s expensive to keep them up and I wonder if there’s not a program to help owners of old barns? Old barns have […]

Another in the continuing saga of the make-do spirit of Up North—or perhaps of our persistent eccentricity.  This from Katherine: Was on my way home, not the direct route, when I spied a bus the Merry Pranksters would be proud to call home. It is maybe a deer camp because there is a wood stove […]

Not one to be discouraged by a little dismal weather, Katherine has been out and about examining the shoreline of Torch Lake. She writes:  This is the ice on the shore along Torch that melted and started to reform and it looked like dancing people or hands waving and gesturing, or fanciful animals, or muppets, […]
