It is just too darned hot to write a long post. It is too darned hot to read one. I wish you had been there last night. You would have that memory to bring out whenever you really needed it. You know how it is when you’re sitting around with a few friends telling stories, […]

Flora of the Bay
August 12, 2010
Sounds like a story about an old-fashioned girl growing up on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay in the 1800s, doesn’t it? No. Flora as in Flora and her younger brother Fauna.

Excellent last minute plans
August 11, 2010
I know it’s the last minute and all, but I have some suggestions for you.

Gary and Lois Dawson are cooking–you cannot do better than that–and Mar […]

If you squint you can see Torch Lake Township way in the distance. Every week photographer Babs Young captures moments in northern Michigan, and […]

Dogs and cars
August 7, 2010
You can't predict what will get an artist going. Most of the year you can count on lots of people driving around this part of the world with their dogs in the truck. It isn't just me. The dogs are riding along with their ears flapping in the breeze, or waiting in the car with the engine running, wishing they could figure out how to put it in gear, or just sitting there watching the passing parade, grinning doggy grins.
