I really wasn't in the mood to go outside. But I'm glad I did anyway. It was sunny after a day or two of rain, and I thought some Vitamin D was in order. I brought my phone out with me in case I saw anything I would want a picture of. Imagine my delight …
"Gaudi-esque" That's a word I made up in response to a comment by Chris Hall from Luna's Online. She mentioned the famous architect and mosaic artist Antoni Gaudi (click here for Google images) in a comment on "Our House, Part 2". I replied that perhaps my house was getting a bit "gaudi-esque" with all the …
Ludington Daily News The postcard on the left shows the Ludington Daily News building in the early 1900s. My grandfather, Emil, (the one typing) worked there for several years starting in 1913. There was also the Record Appeal, a weekly publication that would condense the main stories from the Daily News, and add other news …
I knew my front step wasn't finished... It just seemed like it needed something more, so I decided to make a mosaic "welcome mat". I love being able to "mark up" photos to get ideas for how something might look. Here I was experimenting with the flower idea. Finally I was done, and laid it …

No, I sincerely doubt if that's him. Frank is first mentioned on this blog by Foster in "Why You Probably Shouldn't Try to Eat a Broom". I guess you know I haven't given up on finding Frank. I won't go so far as to say it's become an obsession with me, but I've spent hours …

"Foster, are you up?" "Do I look like I'm up?" I mumbled in response to Panda's all too familiar question. "What?" Panda jumped down from the chair. "I got another idea for the blog!" he said excitedly. "Dude," I said, jumping off the chair to get on eye level with him. "You should just start …
"Dude, is that you in there?" Panda's voice, slightly alarmed, woke me up from a comfortable nap. "What?" I replied. "How did you find me in here anyway?" "Well," Panda responded. "It's only obvious. Come out of there. I have a great idea for the blog!" I snuggled back under the chair cover. "We can …
