Decisions, Decisions

Every once and awhile I run across something that makes me wonder, “What were they thinking??”  One of those times came when I saw this sign near a closed down restaurant at the corner of 115 and 31, south of Beulah in Benzie County.
Now, my thought on this sign, which makes it look like you [...]

Farquhar’s Fabulous Frankfurters

One very warm Saturday afternoon we were making our way from Ludington to Pentwater when we came upon this hotdog stand. We had not eaten since breakfast, so I was ready for a little something to eat and I knew I had to stop.

Sunset Junque

A few days ago I was headed home after a day in South Haven and I noticed a road side “junk” store. It was a rainy day and wandering around looking at junk did not seem too appealing to me, so I drove right by. But, I quickly decided it was just too intriguing to [...]

Okay, how do I post on this topic?  Is it okay to relieve yourself  in the lake?
The other morning I noticed a small boat with two fishermen on board. This is not an uncommon sight. The cool of the morning is a great time for fishing. I am close to a good fishing hole, and [...]

Shortly after I took that picture, a Wienermobile made the news by crashing into someone’s home. Imagine [...]

This tasty dressing is not available in many places down state, and just [...]

Should do this More Often

 
“Hi! Hope I’m not missed too much. Thanks for helping me out.  Am having a nice time.  Should do this more often.  I am at the beach today (Mon.) I’d like to own a place around here-lots of money get rich in a hurry.  See U. Say “hello” to everyone. “    Helen
As I look at [...]
