It’s Thursday and social customs dictate that I should post a throwback Thursday photo. I thought about posting a winter photo but after all the winter we have experienced in the past few weeks, with the Polar Vortex and the freezing rain, I thought I should post something a little more uplifting. Here is a
As thousands of cars and trucks zoom down M-46 aka Gratiot Road, I wonder how many people notice the two somewhat ordinary houses between Sandra Court and Larch Street. A green Michigan historical marker stands in front declaring their significance, but it is almost impossible to stop and read it on such a busy road. In case you have
Its been a cold and dreary winter with little snow so I thought I would post this pic of the Montague Inn from a few years ago. Here is some history I found out about the grand estate on their website. The mansion was built in 1929 for Mr. Robert Montague and his wife Edwina. They

A pic from a while ago when there was snow on the ground. I know it has a different name now but I still call it St Helens since it was the church my grandparents went to every Sunday. I need to go out and take some more pics while the holiday lights are on
I figure since today is Thursday I should do a throwback Thursday photo. Instead of going way back to over a century ago, I am going back about a fortnight to the snowstorm in Mid November. I took this pic of St Johns Lutheran Church in Zilwaukee on a cold snowy morning and thought that this would
