Postcard from Barb Higgins: Autumn has begun downstate

October 2, 2009

When we ran into each other at the Post Office, I told Barbara Higgins how frustrated I was that I didn’t have autumn color photos from this year to go with the Color Tour story. “I have one,” she told me. “I took it when we went downstate last week.” The rascal. And who knew that […]

Cruising along on Torch Lake

July 15, 2009

At the end of last week’s Torch River expedition I spent some time taking pictures at the boat ramp at the Torch River Bridge. It’s simpler than the one at the Day Park, but it does a brisk business in everything from jet skis to pontoon boats. Here’s a cheerful little gallery for you to […]

Most of all, I love the Detroit Red Wings.  In 1998 I was sitting in Little Daddy’s having lemon rice soup and wishing something wonderful would happen when POOF!  Darren McCarty pulled up  in a red convertible, hauled the Stanley Cup out of the back […]
