The breathtaking view from Elmo's tower at Phoenix 8 years ago today on the Pasty Cam. Today the early greening leaves look exactly the same.

morning

Good morning! Way to go Mikie!

Thank you Deb, guess getting up early pays off. Going to get off the computer soon since there is a big storm moving in here in Berkley they say it has thunder and hale so guess I will have to shut down. Hey Tim got it again, no award yet but am waiting for it.

Yeah, Mikie! It looks as if there could be storms here today as well.
The leaves are just coming out. No lilacs yet, but we're close.
Last weekend, when I was in the Lower Peninsul, I noticed that
Spring seemed to be at least a week ahead of the way it is here in
Toronto. My daughter says it's advancing quickly in the Ishpeming
area as well and she wouldn't be surprised if there were leaves on
the trees by the time we arrive there for our quickie Victoria Day
Weekend (the weekend before Memorial Day) trip to open up the
cottage. Already I'm champing at the bit.

Happy Birthday, Mikie!!You deserve the early bird.

Good Morning! Mikie, you're up early! Congratulations! Did the thunderstorm get you up? It's sure noisy here in mid-Michigan! My youngest gets to go to school now in pouring down rain, oh joy. We need the rain, but wish it could have waited a few minutes. And, we're hoping for a nice day tomorrow, so we can take MTU son out in our boat near here for a little while, the first time of the season. :-) He goes back UP north on Friday for work & summer school.

I didn't know that today is your birthday, Mikie. I hope you have a very Happy Birthday!

Friday is my birthday. Will you still need me, will you still feed me now that I am sixtyfour? But thanks for the greetings. Real dark here but the storm hasn't started yet.

That's a cool birthday, Mikie! That has always been one of my favorite songs. :-)

Guess who else is 64 now. Paul McCartney is 64.

Wish I could sing like Paul, but in church the choir director asked me not to sing since I would throw the choir off key. Kind of took that as an insult since Precious is widely known for her vocal performances. She probably told him to say something to me, since I am loud and offkey. Can't sing, but

Mikie, That was such a cute response. Leave it to you. I'll still need you and feed you too, if need be. And you and Paul are the same age. How cool is that? I love Paul!!!!! (Love you too, Mikie.)
BTW, I knew your birthday was on Friday. Mr. Deb doubted me, but he should learn to not do that, especially when it comes to dates. LOL
BTW again, I purposely spent a little extra time getting ready for work just so you could get the early bird.

Surely would love to watch those leaves greening up on a live BridgeCam.

LOL, Mikie...You sound like my family. My husband & my three sons sing loudly & off-key, but they usually know the words to many of the songs. On the other hand, I can sing pretty much on key, but usually don't know all of the right words, and that bugs them. If we could just take the best of both worlds...:-)

Speaking of pictures and the picture galleries,

I have been waiting to upload some pictures, but it still tells me things are down until conversion is complete? when will that be?

Is there a date or plan as to when this will be finished?

Thanks

Bob

Our apologies for the delay in the Gallery upgrade. We encountered some unexpected complications in making the change, but it should be completed soon, and we will email all contributors to let them know.

Just found a new site that's kinda cool. It's called DialIdol and it will vote for your favorite American Idol contestant each week. It also quite accurately shows the rankings of each contestant every week. If it's right this week, the bottom two contestants are a big surprise. It also accurately picked the bottom two for Dancing With The Stars this week. Did I use the word "week" too many times in this post? Lots of interest in Idol down here in the home of Lakisha.

Hello, I was waking up when the storm came through but we had it pretty light here. Berkely is a northeast of me and the storm seemed to stay north of Pinckney when it came through. Just some rain and a little thunder and lightning. Lilacs are starting to bloom but can't really smell them yet. Looks like 47 days until I am heading up!

Oh brother....anyway, bye everyone - it was fun while it lasted.......

Here's the last I heard

Very soon now we hope to have the Guest Gallery restored so that your scans and photos can be uploaded and managed, in a more convenient and flexible format.

Good Morning all!!!

Elmo is now receiving hospice care at Omega House in Houghton. He would probaly enjoy hearing from his many, many friends. The address is Omega House, 2211 Maureen Lane, Houghton, MI 49931

Our own LaKisha is out of the race. :-( So sad. But at least she's now been discovered and I'm sure she will do well from here. I am very proud of her. She is a fabulous singer. I'm betting that Jordin will be the winner.
