Brook Cameron LMT, HHP

 

 

As I stepped thru the door of this way, posh salon

the only question in mind was, “Why did I wait so long?”.

 

 

My body was tired, my mind all hazy.

I love you Michigan, but your February makes me crazy!

I could feel tension leaving, my mind peaceful and clear.

Much needed renewal was starting right here.

 

My body was transformed from head to toe.

My mind no longer bothered by freezing temps and snow.

 

 


 

Smiling, Brook met me at the door.

Not at all creepy like other massage therapists I had gone to before.

 

 

I chose lavender scent to add to the oil.

already relaxed in this space free from toil.

 

From the very first minute up to the last

Brook’s professional expertise did all others surpass.

 

70 minutes of hot stone massage bliss.

This is one experience you do not want to miss.

Me, the very satisfied customer.  My next massage is scheduled for a couple weeks from now!

Gonzo's BiggDogg Brewing - Kalamazoo, MI

I held in my hand some righteous brew,
Not one but twelve born in Kalamazoo. Though I did not stumble, I did not fall. For each of my brews, five ounces tall.

We told Nicole, "we'll have the lot. We want to try everything you've got." Three IPA's, five ales, and a porter, a hefeweizen, a stout was in the order.

With eleven down and feeling pleased, we hoped the last one would go down with ease. "Nature of Evil" did not disappoint. The verdict is in...We love this joint!

Cherry Republic - Glen Arbor, MI

LIFE, LIBERTY, BEACHES and PIE!

Life. Liberty. Beaches. Pie

A place you must go before you die.

Taste some root beer or cherry wine,

or something sweet on which to dine.

 

Find the bear where he's hiding

get some sweets for your trouble

Taste-test everything in the store 

You won't get in any trouble

Challenge your friend to a contest

see how far you can spit

Or chill in an adorondeck chair

eat ice-cream you won't soon forget.

Taste some wine with the ladies 

The boys can have root beer

The garden is huge and the buildings pretty

The merry-go-round may be the only fear






The Promise Land - by Todd Haulenbeek

Sitting in the camper up north with the crew

Glad I drove up from Kalamazoo

Thinking of the day and the perfect weather 

Leelanau peninsula shoreline going on forever

 

Dunes and water and pines and fern

Blue sky and islands and history to learn

Big and Little Glen lakes, clear and clean

With boats anchored out on the shallows pristine

 

To hike or to bike, that is the question

Adventure in practically every direction 

Natures riches and the finest of views

In choosing a location, we just couldn't lose

 

A hike in the dunes to see the sights

Four friends, two dogs and seven kids who brought kites.

Hot sun, hot sand and hot feet went for miles

But the views made the adventure all full of smiles

 

Swim, fish, or just shoot the tube

Shoot the tube?  The Crystal River tube!

In the canoe like a water slide

The long dark tunnel is a wild ride!

 

To finish it off we head to the north

With M22 winding back and forth

To Leland, Fish town! to sample the fare

Carlson's Fishery, there's none that compare!

 

One last adventure before back to base

We must find petoskey stones and I know the place! 

All are successful who would take the time.

Mission accomplished, our trip was sublime!
