I have been agonizing for the past few weeks on what to post this day. I had been trying to figure out what image I should use for this post, but I have several images seared into my memory of that day. I think anyone who was old enough to remember the horrific attack, has images and emotions that they will remember for the rest of their life. I still remember the sadness, anger, fear, and confusion from that day 20 years ago. I am grateful to the first responders and military for their sacrifices and their continued efforts to keep us safe.

The short version of the story is two sizes of Lost In Michigan wall calendars are available on Zazzle.com HERE
The longer version of the story is with covid and the issues I had with the Post Office losing several of my packages, and not doing presentations or bazaars, I have decided not to print my own calendars this year. I found that Zazzle.com can print and ship calendars for me. It is not ideal and the pricing is higher than what I prefer but they usually have coupon codes to lower the price. It’s not what I wanted but I have had people ask me about wall calendars so if you want one you can order them from Zazzle.com HERE Note: There are two different sizes, an 8.5×11 and an 11×14
Thank you all so much for your support. Your kindness has meant a lot to me over the years I have been doing my website. I have met so many wonderful people in person or virtually. I do my best to post things you will enjoy reading and although things have changed this year I am continuing doing what I have been and that is exploring Michigan and finding interesting places and stories to share.
Along the Grand River in Fitzgerald Park are these magnificent rock outcroppings and cliffs. They truly are grand ledges and give the town they are located in its name. I find it strange that I have lived in Michigan for a half-century and have explored many places and I just now visited this wonderful place. I felt like I was hiking in the northwestern Upper Peninsula instead of the Central Lower Peninsula. If you are looking for someplace to explore, you need to check out the Grand Ledges for yourself, because you can’t capture its breathtaking beauty in a photograph.

If you live near Saginaw I have books at Charlin’s Book Nook in Frankenmuth and at the Antique Warehouse near Zilwaukee. I have been working on getting books into bookstores, but It has been a challenge for me as an independent publisher.
Because of Covid I don’t have any presentations or book signings planned. Hopefully, things will be back to normal sometime next year and we will be able to get together then.
