Eight year's ago, Jonathan Hopper captured a familiar sight in the Copper Country -- at least in most years. We continue the snow drought; although temperatures are dropping this week and there is a chance of snow each day. Dare we get out the ski wax?

Mornin'

Good Morning!

Good Monday Morning everyone!

Good morning, still craving bologna!

when was the last time there was no snow up there? I mean which year.
The temperatures have been warming for quite some time. A few years ago I made a business trip up there the week after winter carnival...the statues were all melted.

Would have been happy birthday to the King, Elvis Presley!!!

Happy to be in the U.P. (Lahelo)
I left a message for you on yesterday's "whats up" page.
Good morning everyone! We have a little snow here (in the thumb) this morning.

Elvis would have been 72 today.

Sandra, we like the whole area of Ontonagon. We've been checking out the MLS, (a bit too soon), and have found a couple of great deals. We want to live as close to Lake Superior as we can. Gotta have the "lake sounds". Wish we could afford to live on the lake!

Good morning all..........

Hey Capt. Paul, does this mean you turned 33?

Yesterday's comment regarding bologna----other mfg of that ring sausage------here in Wisconsin there are many producers of ring bologna. Unfortunately, we never find Vollwerth's around here.
What is the long term prediction for snow in the CC? Hopefully there will be enough for MTU's Winter Carnival.

It is finally snowing here in Berkley Michigan. I never liked Vollwerths hot dogs as a kid because of the mustard seeds. I find that Kowalski in Hamtramick makes excellent bologna and other meat products. Like Vollwerths they are a Michigan company and don't use scrap meat in there products. In some states they use the kind of stuff that Michigan has stopped using in their sausages. Or at least that is what I think. Just finished this post and the snow stopped and the sky is blue.

Here come dat dang plow again and i just scooped da driveway.Remember them plows would scare the poo-poo out of us as a kid?
Why do we park the car in a drive-way - then go drive on a park-way......It's going to be a brite-brite sunshiny day..good song by Jhonny Nash

Mikie:I loved what you said about Sis LaMothe,did you know Jeff too?

If you are not married to a gal from the U.P. and live up there, do you what that gal's favorite type of wine would be this time of year?....

I WANT TO GO TO FLORIDA !!!

Sis grew up with my Dad and she was my sisters best friend I never knew Jeff, can't say enough good things about Sis though. She had Yooper class, if you know what I mean. She had a heart of gold.

Speaking of Vollwerth's, when I was a kid I used to make a sandwich with Vollwerth's liver sausage, Miracle Whip, cheese and pickles. Mmmm...it was the best! When I was back home this summer, I bought some liver sausage and made some sandwiches...brought back good memories. I'll have to try Koegel's liver sausage. Now I'm really hungry....We always had ground bologna with pickles sandwich spread too. Good eatin'! Yummmmm...I want one now.

Righto, Cindy. As a kid I remember making sandwiches with the Vollwerth's ring bologna. With crusty bread from Thurners, a little mustard and cheese, how could ya go wrong?

David Hiltunen, you sure are spunky this sunny, Monday morning. That was funny!

Where's Cha-Cha? You're making bologna sandwiches, aren't you?

JH (Thumbgardener) THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION VERY MUCH. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!

Happy to be in the U.P. Your welcome. I hope that the information on the web site is correct. You might want to call. I wonder how many of the products they carry.
Who would have ever thought that someone mentioning bologna yesterday would create so much conversation.

Cindy, yummy, me too, on fresh crusty bread.

i'll take my ring bologna pickled - Vollwerth's is putting it in jars again - with a few pickled beets and some corn relish - gotta go fridge now -----

That snow plow reminds me of 4th of July at the South Range Parade a couple years ago. A family from South Carolina was near us, you should have seen the looks on their faces when they found out what that big orange truck was. Not too many places in the country where the plow blades are taller than a man.

Pickled turkey gizzards, now there's livin!!!

Mr. Deb

Mr. Deb, you sure know how to live it up! Don't forget; you are what you eat!

Hey, if you need gizzards, we have Joe's Gizzard City here in Potterville, MI. I've only been there once, at least 25 years ago, but everyone raves about it.

Gizzard City?????? I always just got them from the boonie bars here in MN
Mr. Deb

I ate some bacon that was walking around just three days before.Fed it to some MI.city folks,and i was glad i had alot.They loved it and asked where i got it from.Told them just on the other side of that hill.Chow Chow is not the same from a store here.

I have venison,, Boyua recipe please

Spelled it wrong didn't i bouya,,, i claim to be the worse speller on here. English is my second langwich.

David Hiltunen, you sure crack me up! Good thing nobody corrects your spelling, ain't enuff time in da day!

My hubby is hooked on fried chicken livers, ugh! I'd rather have bologna or liverwurst, strange, eh?

I am with you Joanie!! Liverwurst or bologna for sure!! My stomach is turning lol

A couple rings of Vollwerths (fried up), mustard, (ketchup for Marty), Bush's baked beans mixed with hot sauce, and 6 guys at deer camp, PRICELESS! Oh yeah, prune tarts for desert! Then, bouncin around in the woods 4 wheelin, now it's PRICELESS!

Gonna be a Yooper (Joanie),
Isn't Lake Superior great? What about those awesome sunsets? Even if you don't get to live on the lake, anything near town gives you easy access to the lake anyway. My parents live out by the IGA (that has the great eggs) and it is less than two miles to the lake.

Sometimes we think about retiring there too. My parents keep asking if I want to live in their house when they pass on. I'm not sure. My brother kind of wants the house. Also, it is on M-38 where traffic noise is a problem. If I can't have it, I will probably live in or near town for the convenience. I especially like the south and east sides (near the Catholic church and high school). They are close to everything but far enough away from the highways and railroad tracks for some peace and quiet.

I hope you find your dream home.

Happy to be in the U.P. (Lahelo),
Did you grow up in the Ontonagon area or move there as an adult? I do envy you.

Sandra H. (Wasayooper) I moved up here as an adult I am orginally from Merrill MI just west of Saginaw. I love it up here!

Sandra email me please!
