Out and About – Week of March 22nd

We recently had the opportunity to get Out and About to South Haven. We’ve been there before, but it was during the summer season and was much busier. This time, we traveled west to the city on the lake on a Wednesday. We couldn’t have had nicer weather, although it was a bit windy. After a very nice lunch at …

Out and About – Week of March 15th

There are some elected officials who make a lot of money serving us. Most of them have their offices in Washington, D.C. I can’t think of one U.S. Senator or U.S. Congressman who is destitute or holds a part-time job. Once they retire, if they ever do, they continue to receive some sort of big benefit for the service they’ve …

Out and About – Week of March 8th

A reminder to set your clocks ahead one hour before going to bed this next Saturday night. Yes, you lose one hour of sleep, but the days are getting longer, which means you’ll be able to get Out and About, and stay out to enjoy more daylight activities. I’m not sure if March came in like a lion or a …

Out and About – Week of February 22nd

The recent snowfall we received last week, reminded me of how much we neglect our vehicles during inclement weather. I saw quite a few cars that had not been properly cleared of the white stuff. These cars evidently were not kept in a garage. Not everyone has the luxury of having a garage in which to keep their vehicles out …

Planning begins for Water Festival

Organizers of the Three Rivers Water Festival recently met and decided to plan for a resumption of what would be the city’s 64th Water Festival. Christy Trammell, president & CEO of the Three Rivers Area Chamber of Commerce, said it made sense to plan a 2021 festival then cancel or postpone if circumstances warrant. As it stands, the three-day festival …

Out and About – Week of February 8th

“It’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” ! Abraham Lincoln Since last October, I’ve been working out of my home. I had a good-sized office in a great location, so when I relocated, I had to give up a lot. Prior to moving, I either sold, gave away, or threw away a …
