  • Kitty on the Lookout 2025

    Most of the time our kitties eat and sleep, however when one of them is looking intently outside the window, there is usually something going on. In this case, our kitty Hoot was staring intently through the window looking into our backyard. We did not notice anything but Hoot continued the intent staring. We took out our camera to zoom in and see what was going on, the lo and behold, there was a cute little bunny rabbit hiding by one of our bushes in the backyard.

    I guess Hoot was making sure that the bunny rabbit did not enter her “domain”.

  • Frankenmuth 2025

    This was our first visit to Frankenmuth this year and we spent most of the time in the Frankenmuth mall. We did our usual stop at the cupcake store (it won cupcake wars on television years ago), the book store, the arcade, and the souvenir shops. Perhaps our best stop was at the barbecue shop where you could sample as many barbecue sauces as you liked. We each bought a favorite and had a great time sampling everything.

    After leaving Frankenmuth antique stores we headed to Past Tense in Lapeer Michigan where we picked up some Spring items for the yard.

  • Sea Shell City 2025

    Sea Shell City is usually a stop on the way home from Macinaw but this year we decided to stop on the way up. Sea Shell City is about 15 miles South of the Mackinaw bridge. James had to buy another t shirt as the one he got last year as a gift was a size big, so he bought one a size smaller. Mom enjoyed shopping and buying some rock candy, and Dad was fascinated by a sharks head hanging on the wall and thought it would look great on the bathroom wall for Halloween. Unfortunately the sharks head was not for sale but other than that it was a great time at Sea Shell City.
