Every week Babs Young sends us a photo. It’s always about Michigan (unless she is on vacation someplace warm in the winter, but that’s a Michigan Thing too), and mostly about things that happen Around Here. Getting that message from her is like having a present show up in my mailbox, complete with a bow. Here are some links for you so that you can browse through the archive of Photos by Babs any time you need a little something to delight your eyes.
- The Michigan Pictures from 2010 and 2011, and other nice things too, are on Flickr: Blue Heaven1’s Photostream
- You can find albums for 2010 and 2009 on her MobileMe Gallery
- There is a collage of some of my favorites on this Torch Lake Views post: Happy Anniversary Babs
And then, Ta-dah! Here is one of my favorite photos of Babs, because we are having breakfast at Chris and Sonny’s and because Chris was up on a chair taking the picture and because . . . it was just fun.
And look what I found over at the Central Lake Library. A picture of Babs 20 years ago. OK, there are some other people in the picture too, but I thought you’d enjoy seeing all of ’em. Haven’t changed a bit, have they!

That’s my aunt…Madeline Schmidt. I LOVED Torch Lake and especially Blue Heaven!
