  • 2026 Austins Graduation Party

    James, Mom, and Dad joined Austins family and friends in wishing him a happy and successful graduation.

  • 2026 Comerica Fireworks Finale

  • Detroit Opera House Phantom and Super Bowl 2026

    We bought tickets for the Phantom at the Detroit Opera House way back in September so we had pretty good seats for the sold out event. You never want to sit too close as you can miss some things with the Phantom the the candles in the floor and the chandelier, however you do get the orchestra pit which is cool.

    The whole family enjoyed the show and I noticed some things had changed since the last time I saw the show – the chandelier was completely different and the rear projections for thunder and lightning. The last time we saw the Phantom was at the Masonic Temple and Dad has seen the Phantom also in Toronto, New York, and Vegas.

    After the show we went to Bubbas 33 for a great movie and finally home to watch the superbowl. Despite the superbowl being a lousy game, it was a great day on a cold February day. (more…)

  • Christmas Eve Fireworks Show 2025

    James volunteered to work on this

  • Lincoln Park Christmas Fantasyland 2025

    Its that time of year again as we all visited Fantasyland in Lincoln Park. James actually walked to the event as he is trying to walk 5 miles each day and doing a very good job at it. Once he got close he called Mom and Dad and we left to join him.

    James saw plenty of his VIP friends and actually got a ride home with one of his friends family as he wanted to stay longer. On the way home he stopped off at Target and brought home some chocolate covered cherries for the family.

    As usual, Santa was there and as is the tradition James showed him how he was doing in school, they only one who brought paperwork to his visit.

    Thanks to VIP camp for setting this up as it was alot of fun.

  • VIP Camp Party 2025

    The annual finale to another great season of VIP Camp came to a conclusion with a party at the local bowling alley. Plenty of games and fun for all the campers and their hosts. James got to do plenty of bowling and this year the parents had a chance to bowl as well if they like. Mom and Dad decided against joining into the bowling as it has been decades since they have.

    The competition between the campers and their parents were competitive this year and I think the parents actually even won a race. All attending had a blast and a big thanks to the VIP camp counselors who put on another great show and a great time was had by all!

  • VIP Camp Dinner 2025

    Once again the fund raising dinner for VIP camp was at Texas Road House.

  • Pot Roast Day 2025

    Nothing better than pot roast day! This was such a pretty dish that Mom made up we had to recognize it.

  • 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”.

  • VIP Camp Party 2024

    Another season of VIP Camp has come to a successful conclusion. James and his friends had a blast this year and we look forward to seeing the participants again in the future as this season just seemed to whip on by. Plenty of activities and games including the annual bowling extravaganza!
