The End of 2015
We survived the big storm that hit earlier in the week. The lights flicked a couple of times but we didn’t lose power. Yay! A snowplow tore our mailbox off the post and flung it into the snow so yesterday morning EJ put his… Continue Reading “The End of 2015”
Our Life So Far
We have done a lot of thinking and discussing and planning and doing since last week when we realized that with the extra expenses, we are going to run out of money sooner than later and we will need a bit more income. We… Continue Reading “Our Life So Far”
A Crazy Day in Michigan
When I wrote the other day about soon needing to exchange jackets for winter coats, I didn’t expect it to occur so quickly. Meteorologists are forecasting snow for our area this weekend, although I don’t think it’s going to be measurable. Meanwhile, today’s weather… Continue Reading “A Crazy Day in Michigan”
America’s Best Scenic Autumn Drive
EJ has been told by his company that he can expect to work a lot overtime in the next few weeks, so we decided to get out and enjoy the fall colors while we still can. We invited JJ to go along with us… Continue Reading “America’s Best Scenic Autumn Drive”
The Gift of Autumn
Because my husband and son have different days off from work, I couldn’t celebrate my birthday (which is next week) with both of them at the same time. So I had a wonderful day celebrating my birthday with JJ on Friday and a wonderful… Continue Reading “The Gift of Autumn”

Late Sunday afternoon the younger Gravel Guy and his wife delivered a trailer filled with potato stones. Potato stones are rocks that are about the same size and shape as potatoes. They are great for allowing water to drain through them without causing erosion.… Continue Reading “The Forest At Night”
The Manitou
Tonight we went sailing on a Tall Ship called the Manitou. I love the beauty and romance of the old sailing ships and I have always wanted to sail on one. I also have always wanted to see a sunset from a boat. Tonight… Continue Reading “The Manitou”
Storm Stories
After the day EJ and I had Saturday trying to get our beater truck up north, we were exhausted and planned on having a quiet, restful day on Sunday. It didn’t exactly go that way. In fact, in a different way Sunday was just… Continue Reading “Storm Stories”
My Second Worst Drive Ever
Today was My Second Worst Drive Ever. Yesterday we had to get up early to pick up JJ’s car at the shop in Eureka. When we got back home, we had to drive downstate because we were meeting with a realtor at the old… Continue Reading “My Second Worst Drive Ever”
Mackinac Adventure
We didn’t go south this weekend. We had an adventure instead. It’s really hard to leave our northern home, especially when we hear stories of storms, high temperatures and humidity, and a Biblical plague of mosquitoes in the area where we used to live.… Continue Reading “Mackinac Adventure”
