VIP Camp had an excellent day of activities including bowling at a great complex called Kudos on Pardee road before Eureka.

In addition to bowling their was arcade games for the kids, plenty of room for parties, and plenty of food. Activities such as the afore mentioned bowling, ping pong, and pickle ball are available along with some bizarre ones. Some of the more bizarre games included Axe Throwing and Football bowling.

The menu included hot food such as wings and pizza along with salads and Mac and Cheese.

We were very impressed with this facility and would suggest it to anyone looking for a place to host a party not only for children but for adults. Continue reading “VIP Camp Visits Kudos” →

The Sears store in Lincoln Park has been a staple in the neighborhood for years and many have very fond memories not only of this Sears store but the entire complex which included gift shops, a movie theatre, a toy store, and (of course) a Big Boy which was a favorite of James Grandma.

This Sears store used to be not only the largest Sears in Michigan but in the entire U.S.

It will be replaced with Business condo’s including a Chick Filet and a car wash. The identity of the other stores is unknown at this time but talks with Costco fell through so it won’t be a Costco. Continue reading “2024 Sears Demolition Begins” →

Happy Mothers Day

What a perfect Spring Day for Mothers day, after the somewhat dreary day we had yesterday. This year we took Mom out to probably her favorite restaurant, an Oriental Buffet in Canton that has crab legs and all sorts of seafood. We found this place while Grandma was in a rehab center a few blocks away. Mom had a 15% off coupon which always makes a day brighter.

This year was a little sad as it was the first one without Grandma, but we were sure she was looking down on us this day.

Its hard to think of Halloween in the middle of Spring but we do it once a year. Once again this event was held in the Saline/Ann Arbor area and we made our trek out there early. The line went fast and we enjoyed everything we saw. We did not buy as much as we did last year but we did buy a few items.

We went through one of the small haunted houses they had there and that was alot of fun. We enjoyed the vehicles they had on display, its hard to believe they do so much for just one day.

We went home to meet James for lunch, then Dad drove back out to pick up another item. We also won something in their raffle – a couple scary DVD’s so that was a nice surprise. A great time was had by all.

James received a special award from Wayne County Community College, but we had to travel up North for the ceremony which was about a half hour West of Gaylord.

The award is known as a MOSPA award (Michigan Occupational Specialties Populations Association) and is described as a Student who has demonstrated perseverance, personal growth, and exemplary achievement. As you can see in the pics there were not many students who won this as most of the awards were for teachers.

While it was a long journey it was well worth it to see James add another honor to his already impressive student resume.
