Faster Horses… Of course it’s worth going to!

Faster Horses is a wonderful Country Music Festival in Southern Michigan located at Michigan International Speedway.

Mackinac Island by Air!

I really need to keep my good camera on hand more often… Yesterday, we had an opportunity to take an evening flight to Mackinac Island on a friends Mooney 231. The sweet 4 seater plane got us up in the air from Kalkaska, MI to the Island in about a 1/2 hour. Sure beats the 2 hour drive it would normally take

Happiest when I am afloat!

I often wonder if its just me, or does everyone feel giddy when they sit behind the steering wheel of a boat the first time each summer. Torch Lake, located in Northwestern Lower Peninsula of Michigan is my “Home Lake”. I grew up here. It’s crystal blue even on a cloudy day! The south end is famous for it’s sand bar (Not just because Kid Rock wrote a song about splashing through the sand bar!) Sometimes it looks like party central. It’s fun, but I always keep in mind the lake is 20 miles long and there’s more to it than just the sand bar.

I have to say something about the town that was considered my high school rival 30 something years ago!

Yes… Frankfort, Michigan… I drove through your town last Friday night. I never really paid too much attention when I was younger, but I have to admit. THIS TOWN IS STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
