An evening concert and a chance meeting with an old friend

The original plan was to go backpacking along the Manistee River Trail last week, but then the forecast started looking pretty dire. And hot. Plan B. We headed out Wednesday afternoon, antique shopping the whole way towards a darling little... Continue reading

It was a beautiful night for a flight. Problem was, we were short on crew. A few text rejections, and I ended up telling my kids that they'd be crewing tonight. It's been a few years since they've come along.... Continue reading

Just a few quick days after this year's Balloonfest and St. Ignace happenings, we headed north. On the 4th. It was a treat to get to see the large flag flying from the north tower of the bridge. It only... Continue reading

Feet Up

What I wrote down for my main goal of summer was to keep the balance. So far so good. Mark decided a few days in that he wants to see how many days in a row he can swim. His... Continue reading

We headed down to the Village today. We went early to beat the weather. It was the quietest we've ever seen it on Memorial Day weekend. My guess is that most people chose to go Saturday or Monday for better... Continue reading
