Little Orphan Katie

The purse was not part of the outfit. It is to make her more sophisticated.

Greg and Eric star in the latest Greg Parker Film

This is Greg on mom's account.

This is a short film I did for my class. It's about a guy who works for a boss who is in charge of illegally distributing alcohol during the prohibition era. Check it out!

Michiana Adventures - Part I (Michigan City)

Entrance to the Tryon Farm community
(there was a political sign posted right by this sign...David almost refused to turn in!)

The 1896 bed & breakfast where we spent our first night is part
of a "community" situated on the 170 acre former dairy farm.
Megan and I covered lots of it by bike while David worked
from his laptop from the backyard swing.

Just minutes from Lake Michigan...a quiet and relaxing retreat
(yes, Megan was bored to death...at least the inn had wi-fi so she could stay connected)

Here we are in the late afternoon at Lake Michigan

This picture really belonged in the next section, as Ozzie's was located in New Buffalo.
We shared a banana split each night after dinner. Yummo, as Rachael Ray would say!

Michiana Adventures - Part II (New Buffalo & Union Pier)

Our first stop in Michigan - Redamak's for a legendary hamburger (or chili dog, in Megan's case)

The Firefly, a restored cabin resort along the lakeshore (more on that to follow)

The view from our screened in front porch

We loved this little (18 cabin) retro spot right off the Red Arrow Highway in Union Pier. It would be a perfect place for a "Foster Family Getaway" - very relaxed and family (and pet) oriented. The grounds include the 18 cabins (one and two bedroom layouts...all with full kitchen, bathroom, and living area, most with screened-in front and back porches), large grassy areas for playing lawn games, individual picnic tables, large firepit for evening campfires, swing set, playhouse, grills for guest use, one tennis court, and private beach access. Our experience here was super! Everyone was very friendly and the location provides plenty to do...cool little boutiques of all kinds, art galleries, antique shops, several area wineries, cafes, and restaurants of all kinds. Anyone up for a late summer or fall getaway?

One more day of School

Annie, Jr. hits the stage this weekend!

This is a pix from dress rehearsal last night - It's pretty funny that we didn't have to do anything with her hair to achieve that "orphan look"!

JB- how come you don't have one of these?

or... maybe you do....
