The average person spends two hours and 24 minutes per day on social media. Stunning, at least to me. Then add in general computer time. And television time. Not a healthy picture. How much time do you spend enjoying life outdoors every day? Maybe try spending 2 hours and 24 minutes out in nature… for…
April 16th: TerraTrike, the riding has begun
You can do this! Feel like it is too late for you to ride? We had not cycled for 45 years. Not once since High School. And yet with our new home being built in a large subdivision which The North Bank Trail bisects, we thought… “lets do this!” Visions of short rides east to…
March 28th: Fully Vaccinated
Oh yeah! Fully vaccinated kinda feels like this burger tastes. Comfort food. Filling. Taste laden with umami. It is my favorite simple culinary creation from my “go-to” restaurant. TED’s… which stands for Talk, Eat, Drink. Planning to eat more of these in the near future. Except now, with much more talk… joining the eat and drink….
March 23rd: Shangri-La
I was asked to write an article on why we chose to live in Grand Haven for a Medium publication. It can be accessed with this link…
March 20th: Choices… Less or More
The paradox of choice and one home builder’s solution (A long Medium article I posted yesterday) Everyone loves choices. But people like limits on their choices, even if they don’t admit it. Imagine choosing a job opportunity. Say you only have three choices. Further, all three choices are in Fargo, North Dakota. Would you want…
March 16th: Windows 21
No, not a new Microsoft product. Something much better… for us. We have windows! After looking thru them we quickly realized a number of fir trees planted out back is a necessity. Need to repopulate and have a sea of green looking out our Michigan room. Still glad we didn’t build across the street on…
Mar 12th: That’s a wrap
So much progress. Two weeks and our new home has been framed, shingled, wrapped… and basement floor thawed and poured. One of the next steps will be windows. Gonna love to see the view from our Michigan room. A Michigan room is a four season room… glass on 3 sides. In Florida it’s a Florida…
Mar 2nd: Progress
Cruising by our new home has reached a fun stage. Progress every day. A fantastic two man framer crew building the shell rapidly. Stopped to watch them work for a few minutes the last two days. No wasted movements, no walking… they jog. They are known to be twice as fast / twice as good…
Mar 1st: Late ice won’t last
More ice drifted in. But it didn’t slam ashore, building the ice mountains we had hoped for. The winds that propels the ice just didn’t cooperate. And now with the warming days ahead, we’ll have to wait until next year. Still nice to view the lake from three nearby beaches. Wherever you are in the…
Feb 25th: Feeling real
The wood has begun to go vertical. Now our new home should be framed within another week. Shingled shortly after, and I am told the windows are already here (windows were a three week wait for my daughter’s house). No material shortages in sight. Really feeling so much better…. feeling real. Yay Eastbrook!
