Grass Lake, MI Jul 28, 2010

We started out this morning to see what there was to see. We went to the City of Grass Lake. They have the usual old houses and beautiful churches. Wish I could learn to get all of the buildings.

We couldn't find anything but bars on the GPS. Wonder if it is a paid catalog for travelers. We really aren't in Hawaii.

Tour the town---see the houses.

Here's one for sale. The second picture is beside the driveway entrance.

We drove down a farm road and found a roadside market. Tonight we had fresh corn and greens beans, along with some home canned bread and butter pickles. Mmmm mmm good.

Look, I got the roof peak this time. Oh wait, George took this picture. Figures!!!

The one I took was minus the widows' walk. George took this too.

Well, at least I got the year on this one.

This is what we started out to see. It's the Union Depot Park.

It wasn't open but George peeked in to see where they hold wedding receptions.

This time no ice cream but we did eat lunch. Pretty good burgers.

These are some really big homes. Look at the four chimneys.

We tried to find a Cascade Falls Park. Found the entrance but not the falls. It started to rain so hard, we gave up looking.

We sat in the car for a while to give the rain a chance to let up. When it slowed to a drizzle, we negotiated the distance.

This area is for kids to learn to do all different kinds of art.

We learned that the male eagle knocks the rabbit off balance and the female swoops in the make the kill.

Someone took a long time to build this diorama. All these teeny tiny groceries would be a chore.

This TV was built in 1948. Notice that the screen is on the flat surface with a mirror to show the picture.

We used to sit on the floor in front of these radios.

This is why no one wanted a big lawn.

This was a great trolling motor for its day.

My dad had a metal lathe just like this.

Pretty neat old car, eh? There was a sign in one of the cases that said there were 21 different cars being built in Jackson in about 1917.

Thought this was interesting.

And this is the table it was signed on.

An everyday dress.

This went under the dress above.

This is in the city of Jackson. Lost the top again. Connie, I need lessons.

This is the park we are in. Wish it had been as simple as the sign says. There is road construction and we had a heck of a time getting here.

We are in good company here, Phaeton on the right, Phaeton on the left.

Here we are!!!

Before I close, I need to tell you one other thing we did. We went looking for the big house at Jackson State Prison. We were merrily driving up and down the road next to it, taking some wonderful pictures. Up drives a guard---OOOps, can't take pictures. Either had to delete them all or he would take the camera. Decided to delete. All I can say is a big Thank You for taking care of us today.
