The song Tiny Bubbles took on a whole new meaning the other day. I was putting away cleaning supplies in the closet outside the laundryroom and keeping an eye on the laundry in the washers. I had a plan to get all 12 loads done by early afternoon so I wanted to keep the laundry moving. I had just glanced at the machines and everything was o.k. I opened a closet door that blocked my view of the machines when … Continued
This years Chicago to Mackinac yacht race was so colorful. The billowy sails were red,blue, lime green,yellow and yes, still some hold out beige ones. There were times when I counted thirty-five yachts, a tug boat, barge, and a ferry boat all at one time. As I stood on our pool deck I could look down Lake Michigan and the beautiful sails were visible. I took several pictures so you could get an idea of how colorful and beautiful these … Continued

It wasn’t rain and it was itchy. Lynn looked up in the pine tree and noticed a squirrel … Continued
Last week we had high humidity and foggy starts to our day. Notice in these pictures the fog bank is in St Ignace. All morning it headed toward us and at times encased the bridge. The fog reminded me of a tug of war game between St Ignace and Mackinaw City. The fog tried to push into Mackinaw City, but was halted and pushed back into St Ignace. It was fascinating to watch.
This morning, with shampoo in my eyes, I took these pictures of two freighters, heading in the same direction, at the same time, going under the bridge. Talk about the “little boat that could”…take a look.
