Moments to Remember

This past Friday I was up early and off to the state capitol. One of the bigger sleep conferences was being held at the Kellogg Center on the campus of Michigan State University. I had no idea how bad traffic was going to be so I was on the road by 5:30am. I arrived about … Continue reading Moments to Remember →

Friday Photo Flashback

Every summer I think back to our summer trips up to Caseville. My grandparents had a mobile home up there. As we made the two hour drive up there, my brother and I always looked for the familiar landmarks along the way. Romeo had an old country store with penny candy.

Last week, I posted a picture of me in my grandma's backyard playing catch with my dad.  The more I thought about my grandma's backyard, I was reminded of her back patio. I distinctly remember there being a picnic table out there. I know my brother and I would eat outside with my grandma on … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

I found a stack of pictures this week that I had stuck in an envelope. I probably did that so I could scan them for this feature, but I don't really remember. Anyway, I found this great picture of my brother and me. I love this picture because I actually look cute in it! I … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

According to the date stamp on today's picture, it is from the summer of 1981. We spent many summers going up north to Caseville. They were usually weekend trips. Off the top of my head, I can only recall two family vacations. One of them was to King's Island and Sea World (probably when I … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

I went through some of my holiday photos this week. This was taken at my maternal grandmother's house. Quite a few things stand out in this picture to me. First, the television set! I was once a remote control for one of those, LOL! Man, those things were something. My grandma had one of those … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →
