Letters from Katherine: Minimalist period
Katherine sent a newsy note today (I can relate to the dogwalking dilemma): I’m sitting here with a cat on my lap who periodically gets up and wanders over and stands on my keyboard but still hasn’t warmed up to the dog. I know, give it time. The dog wants to make friends with the […]

January 18, 2009
Babs writes: As you can see we have plenty of snow and we even have had a little sun now and then. This structure is located on Bennett Hill Road just east of Church Road. For all who are not up here, I want to announce that at least the north end of Torch Lake […]
