Day To Myself
Well, a whole 4 hours to myself this afternoon. Not an entire day per-say, but a solid allowance of time. The most time I’ve had to myself in one day since before LBD came into the picture. Usually when Grandma watches her it gives me the chance to go to my weekly 30 minute guitar […]

The Benevolent Library
Don’t be fooled… this picture of our town library is from September. (Oh, glorious blue skies!) The Ludington Library is a teeny, tiny library, BUT they order books that will travel from all over western Michigan to visit me AND I love that they have these nifty Reader Review slips in each book…

Victorians
Unfortunately, there are a lot of derelict houses in Ludington, a result of Michigan’s crippling economic state, but there are also handful of handsome homes that continue to endure the times.

And then when I was driving back down the same road to go home I noticed the FOR SALE sign on the steps. Yes, please! Will and I always talk about turning an old […]

Spring Soon
When you live in a small town that hails as a summertime vacation destination, winter can be a downer. After months of gray skies and snow and snow and more snow, I now understand why my husband, who grew up in Ludington, laughed when I told him a few months back that snow doesn’t bother […]

Lake Effect
Usually when you think of the beach snow doesn’t come to mind. Took this picture of Ludington Beach today while on a short drive. If the weather isn’t too bad, LBD and I go for a ride so she can get her afternoon snooze in.

Life A Little Less Ordinary
In the beginning… I suppose the very, very, absolute beginning of this particular story… my story…. our story…. stems from one extremely snowy Friday night in Brooklyn. It was cold and wet, but it was a long week, so after work a few friends and I broke free from our Manhattan offices to the comforts […]
