iPhone Journey Update

I’ve been on my iPhone Journey for six months and have discovered it has taken me in many unexpected directions. My morning coffee somehow took on a very very important part of my day and while I love trying new seasonal lattes, so far the winning coffee is a freshly ground home brewed cup from…

City, Suburb or Country?

I’ve lived the majority of my life in the suburbs, but have loved the years spent visiting or living in cities. Now that the temperature has warmed up, I was finally able to use one of my Christmas coupon gifts from my niece for a “A Walk In The City Of Your Choice.” During the…

The Week In Seven Photos

It’s wonderful to close the door on January and the disappointing end to the football season without a Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions Super Bowl. Luckily February will be filled with plenty of Oscar nominated movies, hockey and college basketball games to help me forget I’m waiting for Bryce Harper to hit a home run…

Little Birds Having A Winter Blast

The little birds had the bird feeders all to themselves during the winter storm as the squirrel posse refused to leave their nests and the turkeys found it exhausting trying to walk through the snow. It was wonderful to watch the juncos, chickadees and cardinals have a blast before the big football game. Coffee of…

The New Michigan Winter

In our old Michigan winters, by this time of the season snowmobilers would be traveling over some of our 6,500 miles of snowmobile trails, our 40 ski areas would be busy with skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts would be enjoying winter festivals, ice fishing and hockey on the frozen lakes.
