Deanna: soft spoken beauty

She posted on Facebook,  "anyone need a model tonight?

It sounded like fun, so we met... at Burger King (Yes BK)

Deanna is a hard-working single Mom with an adorable son

She works 2 or 3 jobs goes to college and wants a better life

We left Burger King after a bit and went down to Bayside Park for some after sunset shots

Deanna, you are a terrific young lady, 

you face the challenges of your son and work and family and friends

You try your best not to let the critics and all the stresses get you down

Well done, my friend.  Keep pressing on!

an old stormy farmhouse view

I found this picture I took several years ago
It was taken out the window of  100 year old farmhouse
The screen was more like chicken wire than a window screen

It seems like it was a half spring half winter stormy sloppy day

An oiler on a old 1 cylinder engine
at the Buckley old engine Show August  19th

Just add your oil of choice
flip up the lever on top to start the flow
Then turn the ring to adjust how often a drop of oil falls

and its shiny and cool

a day with a friend in Leelanau

Spent the day driving around looking at old barns, houses and rich folks clogging up the roads...

Fair 2017

Some random shots as I wandered the fair today.
I was impressed how well the kids talk about their animals
I learned a thing or 2..

I also met Jennifer, the 2016 Fair Queen!
What a pleasure it was to talk with her!

Me and Jennifer the Fair Queen

Get a load of this!
