You will recall that last summer did not have the best weather. It would be sunny for a couple days, but then rain a bit or get cold. It never really opened up. This summer is making up for it! One couldn’t ask for better weather than we’ve been having. A year ago July’s average [...]

Greetings, Coffee Lover!
You knew we wouldn’t forget you. It just got crazy around the holiday, and now we’re relaxing a bit. Still, yesterday was a record day for the cafe. Go figure. Meanwhile, the Fourth of July was splendid, and both the Glen Arbor parade and the Glen Lake boat parade were well attended, despite [...]

I thought I’d take a little break from the blog, and instead have been concentrating on Facebook posts. Surprisingly, few of you dear readers have noticed my absence Still, I’ll ramble on (and keep the search bots busy).
We had a beautiful weekend in Glen Arbor, and Moose and I hiked Alligator Hill on [...]
Greetings, Coffee Lover!
The calendar says April, but it feels like May. We are about two weeks ahead of normal weather, which nicely offsets a few years ago when we were a month behind. What that has meant is several days so far in the 60s and 70s, which sure creates a lot of smiles around [...]
A little over a month ago Big Glen Lake froze over, and the ice fishing season began. And now, as the March thaw ensues, the top gets slushy in the sun and warmth, and soon the ice will break up and push away from the shore. Here is a photo of some Thursday evening fishermen, [...]
