Steve, Chellie, Susan and I went downtown for dinner at Amadeus then walking around downtown listening to music, watch dancing, and see the huge hoard of people. Literati on and Amadeus. Lights everywhere, and lots of people. I can’t remember the last time I saw so many people in one place. We avoided going intoContinue reading “Midnight Madness in Ann Arbor”

The photos of window art that I am posting today I took exactly 3 years ago today. Ah, the Jolly Pumpkin, eat drink and be merry. This computer is definitely not overheating. Grab a quick drink while your dog waits. A cozy cabin in the north woods. Wait a minute – another drink? These optometristsContinue reading “Another day of shopping and eating”

Since some people were interested in the window paintings that many businesses have done. These snowmen and women were from ten years ago. As are all of the window art that I am posting today. This was at one of the downtown Mexican restaurants. Cherry Republic on the left, and a close up of oneContinue reading “It’s December in Michigan, time to get out shopping”

We walk past this fairy garden ever few days. It’s fun watching the transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Here’s one of our neighbors yards that embraces both Thanksgiving and Christmas simultaneously. Today we went down to the Ann Arbor Farmers Market but also stopped to see some window work by the Brush Monkeys. There willContinue reading “The last of November”

Here’s Susan and I in Camarillo, California last month. Hard to believe that she was a year younger then, as we joke about birthdays. Today we had a relaxing day that started with walking to breakfast at our favorite place for breakfast – Village Kitchen. What made it even better today was that our favoriteContinue reading “They say it’s your birthday”

Today’s post will just be some of the cartoons honoring Charles Shulz. Good stuff here, even some in Spanish. More tomorrow, for Susan’s birthday.

Our day started with meeting our friend Linda at Northside Grill. I found it interesting to find that the car we parked next to had two interesting bumper stickers. The first was the “Stand with Ukraine” sticker, which we are seeing more of. The second was the “Puglia” sticker which was curious since that wasContinue reading “From Thanksgiving to Christmas in a day”

Today would have been Charles Schulz’s 100th birthday. These are the stamps that the USPS issued to mark the date. There were a lot of cartoon today that referred to him. But first. Thursday was Thanksgiving in the U.S. Susan cooked up a storm of wonderful food that we are still enjoying days later. WeContinue reading “Getting caught up for the week”

Oh those pesky cameras. If you only knew what they were saying. A drake singing Drake! Hey don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Regardless, I am a big fan of food trucks. We get both colors of peppered moths at the cabin. I was rally excited when I got my first years ago. SomehowContinue reading “Some November humor”

Yesterday we got a bit of snow at Whitefish Point. While in the course of the day we only got 6-7″ of snow, for about an hour it was quite intense. That was sadly when we decided to go to Paradise (11 miles away) to mail some letters and stop at the Food Mart. Well,Continue reading “Snow storm at Whitefish Point”
