Good to the last drop
The rich autumn colors have pretty much faded, except in the orchards. Naturally that was where Babs headed for this week’s Michigan Picture. (The maples in the background are just showing off.) Tomorrow I will show you some other signs of the season. Not to worry – at least so far all our fluffy white […]

Abundance

There I was wide awake at dark-thirty Saturday morning, mousing around on the computer looking for something absorbing to take me out of my […]
Treasure Scout on the loose
October 13, 2012
This year’s holiday exhibit at the Elk Rapids Historical Museum is Treasures from the Toy Chest, and I am the Treasure Scout. Linda Pillsbury drew me a map. Linda knows everyone in Elk Rapids, and her mother knows their mothers. By the time we’re through you will be dazzled. Last week, for example, I went […]
