The stranger admired our roses.
We watched a man we didn’t know walk around our neighborhood tonight.
Periodically, he would stop and seem to stare at something…
Was he admiring the flowers blooming everywhere - or staking out the houses in front of him for future reference?
With the first lap, James and I weren’t totally sure. We sat on [...]

She lived four doors down the hall…
And more than fifteen years apart from me.
James and I ate dinner on the sidewalks of Ann Arbor tonight.
When I looked at the table next to us, I noticed the message on the t-shirt of the woman closest to me.
It gave her room number and dorm name at Michigan [...]

As summer arrives in Ann Arbor, so does the Top of the Park (TOP).
TOP is like a big block party held on UM campus every night for three weeks with lots of food, interesting bands with space for dancing, movies during the week - and fabulous people watching!
TOP started this weekend, so James and I headed [...]

I found an amazing website on the Internet this morning…
Farecast.com gives you the inside scoop on what you should be paying for airfare.
For example, I have to go to Chicago at the end of July. When I checked the price at Northwest (the major Detroit carrier), the lowest fare came up $139.
It seemed high to [...]

It was fun to mingle with both adults and teens.
One of the highlights of the night was meeting Yo-Yo champion Jake Maloney who is a member of the USA Duncan Crew
In 3rd grade, Jake, a major TV junkie, faced a month of no [...]

I’ve got one…
On my long trip home from San Diego on Sunday, I somehow snoozed off with head hanging low. UGH.

It was only five days on the road…
And Raindrop, my dog, insists it was like a lifetime.
Ever since I arrived home at 2 AM early Monday morning, she has been my constant pal eager for my attention…
If I walk around the house, so does Raindrop.
If I take a nap, so does Raindrop.
If I read the newspaper, [...]
