Winter is back in Saginaw, yesterday it was almost 50 degrees, and now we are back to winter. I gotta say I like taking pics of the snow better than brown grass and bare trees. Here are a few pics I took today, I have more, but I got to save some for posts later
When I say “The Big Apple” I am sure you think of that city over on the east coast, but I am thinking of a different apple. My daughter’s school had a field trip to ski at Apple Mountain today, and I stopped by to pick up her skis. Seeing that giant red apple made
The best paczki don’t come in a box with the word “PACZKI” in giant red letters sprawled across the top of the box, they come in a plain white paper bag from a Polish Catholic church.

A few months ago I came up with the idea of helping local art teachers with art supplies for their students with the money from calendar and sticker sales. I started the Saginaw Art Initiative HERE and asked Saginaw County art teachers to apply for $50 grants. I had 11 teachers apply, and I was able to
I found this old photo of the Temple Theatre on the Saginaw Public Library archives. I never knew that WNEM was in the corner of the building way back when, (but then again I ain’t that old either.) I like the “hand” logo that TV5 had back then too. My mom and dad both worked
Birch Run was originally founded as a station on the Pere Marquette Railroad by John Moore, its first postmaster, in 1852. It was named after its creek, which runs through a large birch tree area. I could not find out why, but in 1863, the town was renamed Deer Lick until 1868 when it
