Martha -
The list in Monday's Detroit Free Press is a rich compilation of wonderful Michigan websites. Mike Wendland and Heather Newman have done a tremendous job of researching and organizing such a vast body of information. We are honored that Pasty Central was even mentioned among this Who's Who of Michigan 'net addresses.
Edie and I picked up a Free Press tonight and browsed through each of the 40 sites named. What a tour of the two Peninsulas ! We couldn't help but remember when we were newlyweds at University of Michigan, with a morning Detroit Free Press route to make ends meet. For many months, 7 days a week, we got up before the sun and shuttled around a few hundred papers in the Ypsilanti to Wayne area. Even in those days we knew we wanted to move to the U.P., but we still have many fond memories of Southeast Michigan. And here we are, 30 years later, still getting up before the sun. But instead of delivering the Freep, it's doing the daily Pasty Cam.
By the way, thanks to Mike Mehrman for today's lighthouse. Mike - if you read this, leave a message - your email keeps getting bounced back... part of the present Comcast problems they're having in Southeast Mi.?
Before I'm off to bed, here's a little midnight snack, strawberry shortcake from the Chassell festival over the weekend. Thanks to Donn de Yampert for the wealth of pictures he's been sharing with us recently.
