A perfect 4th of July weekend in northern Michigan
Babs writes: Every 4th of July there is a parade in Central Lake and the Blue Heaven Gang is usually one of the attractions. This year was no exception. Two trucks, four golf carts and one Ranger carried somewhere over 40 of us right down Main Street. That’s an Up North 4th of July for […]

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.

Every Fourth of July the Friends put up a big tent on the lawn and have a real blowout […]

You probably don’t introduce your children to the CEO of […]

Accidental art
July 3, 2009
In the summer I park the car in the driveway, right under the trees, leaving the garage free to accumulate mysterious junk. Now the trees are leaking sticky stuff. The windows are smeared. The left rear door stuck shut. I have been to the car wash in Elk Rapids twice in the last week. I […]
