What’s Your Bowling Name?

I haven’t been bowling in 11 years, but Hubby and I will be participating in a bowling fund raiser with the Lions Club this month.

This event got me rememberingContinueContinue reading “What’s Your Bowling Name?”

It’s All Method

Remember that time I talked about how I fear killing people by not sealing jam jars properly so I am reduced to begging homemade jams and jellies from others (hint). Behold the fruits of my labors.

We were born six weeks apart. Sarah wentContinueContinue reading “Sarah”

This weekend two friends from Wisconsin came to visit. They’re on an 8-day motorcycle trip across Michigan and we tagged along for two days up to Cadillac and then the Sleeping Bear Dunes. This is Joyce, AKA Bad Mama Milwaukee. She cleans out her fingernails with a switchblade. This is Jim, his buzz cut isContinueContinue reading “Motocycle Road Trip”
