Haiku for Today (Detroit)

Could hydroponics
be the golden ticket for
our beloved Detroit?

Seems like a good idea.......lots of space and water.

Ludington Lighthouse (Cross Stitch Pattern)

I finally finished the my cross stitch pattern that I created for the Ludington Lighthouse.

You can download the pattern here.

Here is a picture of the completed project.

I am hoping that I will create some other Michigan lighthouses from here on out. Ideally, I would like to create kits that museums could sell. I would just send them to them and they can keep all the proceeds.

I used an excellent freeware software. It is called KG-Chart for Cross Stitch.

For more information on the Ludington Lighthouse, please visit:

Zingerman's - Just Amazing!

Great story from NPR's Weekend Edition.

Zingerman's: Not Your Grandfather's Deli
by Bonny Wolf

Weekend Edition Sunday, May 11, 2008 ยท In 1982, Paul Saginaw and Ari Weinzweig opened Zingerman's Deli in Ann Arbor, Mich. After 26 years, they have built an empire called Zingerman's Community of Businesses that Inc. magazine called "The Coolest Small Company in America." On Friday, Oprah Winfrey rated a sandwich from Zingerman's an amazing 11 out of 5.

--end--

This is one of the best things to come out of Michigan! Definitely worth the trip.

Visit the NPR site for more pieces on food.
