We spent most of last week at the Wheel Inn Campground, for the Leslie Bluegrass Festival. We had a good time, and saw some good music. I didn’t even go to town to get e-mail, and the phones don’t work too well out there, so it was almost a real vacation. D2 brought her children … Read more
We’re home, but we don’t get a bit of rest. Papa left for work a while ago, and I’m making a list — again. Finish laundry. Wash and sort cucumbers, sort and can tomatoes (5 big buckets – like laundry soap comes in). Pack clothes. Make a couple of dishes to take. Pack food. Buy … Read more
Updated the CACC website, volunteer for the Wheatland fundraiser. Updated Jerry Yates’ site for the Leslie, changed a band name on their page and in the schedule. Fixed some errors in the CF research benefit site, hope we’ll see you there in the fall. Updated the calendar on Papa’s pictures. Fall concerts, football, there’s more … Read more
The children went home last Friday, or did I mention that already? So, about the green light—. I was driving GS3 either to or from the Detroit Zoo, where he attended Summer Safari last week. At some light, one of those advance green arrows the traffic engineers are so proud of, the 3 or 4 … Read more

The library I mentioned is open today. It’s a nice place, and pretty busy. There is a problem, though. The internet works only on the lower floor. Surprise, surprise, the genealogy and history section is on the upper floor. I can’t believe it, but it’s true. I did some research, then I came down here for … Read more
I guess if this place wasn’t so close to the place we’re staying, I wouldn’t come here so much. No–that’s not right. If this place wasn’t so close, and didn’t have internet I wouldn’t come here so much. I was going to head for the local library, but a reality check revealed that the library … Read more
Another hot day here in the Saginaw Valley. I’m back at McDonalds, not sure why, but it does get me a little quiet time. The kids wore me out today. Too bad I’m not 20 years younger. Funny thing, some people my age actually have children the ages of my grandchildren. I’m not exactly sure … Read more
Here I am, at a McDonalds, trying to catch up with the world. Not doing too well, and not doing to badly either. I’m posting Papa’s pictures from the Mountain Top Festival, held in Pennsylvania last weekend. The speed of the connection is so slow, that it will take me 3 hours to do so!? … Read more
