I’ll Take a Michigan, Straight

A Michigan straight, so the joke goes in the Midwest, is how you order a glass of water in this region. I recently got to see a LOT of water on a few recent road trips.

We Go’d to Chicago

Steel and concrete surround us as we walk down the hot and humid street in Chicago. Excitement builds, we’ve arrived!

Midnight Minx

Several days ago, my husband and I were “chased” by a wild, mysterious critter while walking along the lake. It chased us not out of aggression, but rather curiosity, I think.

In the Pink

I used to hate the color pink. I think it stemmed from when I was younger, my mother only ever buying me pink clothes for my birthday and Christmas. Perhaps it was her attempt to cure me of my tom-boyish ways.

Just Ducky

A week after I wrote about the dangerous high waves of Lake Michigan, we once again revisited the Port Washington lake front. This time the lake was nearly smooth as glass.

High Seize

The temperature hovers around 30° and it’s raining. Blizzard warnings to the north, and here we expect a half inch of ice, covered by up to 6” of snow. High winds cause our house to shudder and moan. Welcome to April in Wisconsin.
