A horrible yet honorable story
I recognize that the news is never going to cover this story. So here’s it’s shot at getting out there. I received this email from a person in our community today. Most people would know her as a protagonist. I know her as someone with a deep sense of justice for our schools and the…

Plumbing Fun!
The last couple of weeks we had some water in our basement. Not altogether unusual for a 140 year old house, but enough to be concerned about. Yesterday, our plumber friend came over to have a look at it. He ran his massive snake machine all over the place and that didn’t clear out the…

God of this City | Door Hangers
Today, Bob and I went with some other folks from church to place door hangers. So, if you live in the south west area of Romeo… check your doorknob! It’s kind of crazy to compare this year to year’s past. In the past we’ve said “hey, invite your friends.” This year… we’ve gotten everyone out…

CSR: Youngers Irish Tavern
It’s St. Patrick’s Day! So it’s time to cover the only “Irish” place in town. We’ve lived in Romeo nearly 5 years and this location, 120 S. Main Street, there has been at least restaurants. Younger’s is the only one good enough concept to truly make it. Location: Downtown Romeo. With ample parking in the…

The Melt is On
In the knick of time. With the easter egg hunt about 24 hours away, the melt is finally on in Romeo. According to our thermometer it only got to about 31 degrees last night and it is already 35 degrees. As long as the sun shines all day, we’re safe. With the forecast saying we…

Our Vision for Our Community
I’ve had this video ready for a couple of weeks. Below is a description video for our churches vision. Since I already had a couple of people ask me how I made the video, here are the details. – Obviously, the animation is from Google Earth. I set up the points as a tour and…

Sticker Shock
Kristen handed me something labeled “assessment” from Bruce Township. My heart sank a little bit as I read it. When this arrived in 2007 I learned that our house had been assessed at about $20,000 more than we paid for it in 2005. While typically, this is a good thing. In Michigan there just wasn’t…

A true Michigan winter
Let’s just say the picture is an exaggeration. But we’ve had a very good Al Gore inspired winter in Michigan. It started in November and it has stayed until now. Non-stop cold, lots of snow, few warm weather breaks, and a lot of storms. I love winter. I love snow. I really like driving around…

.7 and falling on the frozen tundra of Romeo
That’s the headline. At least in my house. I think the furnace will run all night long. It’s butt cold. It’s frozen nose hair cold. It’s punch your mama cold. It’s so cold the dog won’t go out to pee. Brrr.

Snow day
No complaints today, we got dumped on last night. At our house we got about 10 inches or so. It was a weird snow too as it slushed all afternoon yesterday and then as it got colder the snow got more and more fluffy. Kristen loves to shovel, so she jumped out there early this…
