Oinks in New Buffalo

We're now in the US and staying at a (very generous) friends cottage in Michigan.
An aspect of the US is the large portions of food. Even for what the English would call the pudding course. Couple that with the car aspect and we found ourselves at essentially a drive-in ice cream parlour.
Oinks in New Buffalo must be famous in the region. It has all kinds of memorabilia covering the inside of the shop.
And so many flavours that its tough to choose.

Hi, Adam.....I knew you were coming to this area and so checked out your blog (Bob had signed me up some time ago). Oinks is a favorite of ours. We go there every time we are in NB. We stay there a couple of times a year in the Harbour Grand Hotel. Where are you staying? Check out Stray Dog. It recently burned and they redid it all. We haven't seen it since it's finished. Bob and I have spent many hours there catching the Cubs on TV as our room doesn't pick up Comcast. Have a great vacation. Janet Barnett

She arrives!

Image
Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.

The Queens Jubilee; Part 3

Image
The last 24 hours of the Queens Jubilee proved as remarkable as the first 72. Monday evening, we let the kids stay up past their bedtime to watch part of the concert on TV.  C’s line during the singing- “I hope the Queen is alive when I am a grown-up.” Why? “Because I will write a great song.  That’s what I do when I build Lego.”  Which is true- he likes to sing while building. The Guards at Buckingham Palace. Tuesday, we all got dressed up in our best and went to The Royal Automobile Club on Pall Mall for the festivities.  It was a special treat- usually kids under 13 aren’t allowed inside.  They made a special exception for the Jubilee Weekend, so we watched the carriage procession down The Mall on a Big Screen TV!  Actually the RAC is only 100 meters off The Mall, but the crowds and weather wouldn’t have been much fun. And since the RAC is so close to The Mall, the flyover went right over our heads out in the garden. Spectacular! Being within the crowd in the Club Ro

Out to the theatre

The four of us went to the Old Vic for a performance of Just For One Day- a musical about Live Aid.  Impressive singing. Dinner before hand at an old school Italian restaurant.  And a tour of my favorite graffiti alleyway.
