Sign of the Season.

What is it you say? Deer feed. You'll find corn, carrots, rutabaga, apples, and sugar beets. There is no shortage, every gas station or store has a large supply. I'm told the deer are very fussy this year. They'll eat some apples and leave others. They've been fed too well.

Quincy Mine Hoist

The Quincy Mine Shaft House can be seen from miles around. We can see it from Chassell and even L'Anse if conditions are right. Many times you will see it when the Copper County is featured or advertised. I thought this photo was a little different view until I visited their site.

The Quincy Mine is part of the Keweenaw National Historic Park.

Business Opportunity.

Interested in opening your own business in the Upper Peninsula? Here's a place to start. I can see a bookstore, flower shop, and coffee shop. What do you see?

Really.. it has to be hopeless. There must be better places than this to open a business. It makes me think of an old western movie. It doesn't look like it's ready to cave in does it. Maybe it needs some TLC.

That was different!

The phone call I got last night was different. It rang, I answered and was connected to a conference type call. It was US Congressman Bart Stupak's town meeting. People across the State were asking questions of the Congressman. Apparently I did not get connect at the beginning for the meeting.

It was rather neat. There was a poll in one part of the call. It asked what should Congress be focusing on. Press 1 for Health Care, Press 2 for jobs, Press 3 for reducing the deficit. There were supposed to be more polls but I was waiting for a different phone call and had to hang up. I'd already been on the phone over 20 minutes.

Did you get a call? I'll bet most of you would have hung up without even listening. I normally would.

Love the Reflections

Are you hoping for snow so I'll have some different pictures? It's just fine with me to take pictures of reflections. Reflections are much prettier than ice fishing tents!

Michigamme

The shops in Michigamme aren't far off of US 41, just a few blocks in fact. It's worth the stop but they are only open on the weekend in November/December and not again until spring.

No, it's no longer a functioning church. It's a charming craft store.

Woman's Week..

We women are free to play when the men are away. This is Michigamme. I love the Crock and Rocker. It's loaded with great gift and speciality items. Allow at least an hour to browse.
