I’ve never been a girl who excelled in sports. While other kids were playing basketball and softball, I was studying the dictionary for the next spelling bee. In 3rd grade, I was scheduled to run the 100 yard dash on Field Day and, right before the race, I fell from the monkey bars and had to disqualify myself because I had a stomach ache. Coincidence? Mmmmm….no. I was a cheerleader for awhile, but that’s not really a sport, right? Right leg out, left leg out. Two claps. Go team.

After a few "very busy months", life at the Korner Kottage Bed and Breakfast is much quieter now. We had another record breaking summer/fall season, even despite the unpredictable cooler, wetter, weather. We feel so very blessed. Thank you to all our wonderful guests, (first time visitors or repeat friends) who continue to find us along scenic M~22. The quaint village of Suttons Bay, along with the wonderful wineries, restaurants and unique shops has become quite the tourist destination.
Our Ko… Continue

From The Pastor
Ah, can’t you just smell it—the turkey, the stuffing, the potatoes, the pie, Grandma’s perfume—the welcome smells of the Thanksgiving holiday.

And this is to say nothing of the fact that the seams in your pants are ready to burst and send corduroy flying to the outer recesses of the dining r… Continue

The Missions Committee at Suttons Bay Congregational Church is revising the traditional Giving Tree program this holiday season. Instead of putting out “ornaments” with items for you to purchase and wrap, the Missions Committee would like you to purchase Gift Cards (any dollar amount) from Meijer, Target, or Walmart. We will divide these up between 2 or 3 families. This way we can empower these families to
have the pleasure of shopping for their children and make sure of the correct sizes, color… Continue

November’s Pastor’s Restaurant Tour is on Friday, November 20 at 5:30 PM at Stubb’s Sweetwater Grill Restaurant in Northport. We will meet in their party room, order off the menu, and have separate checks. (There is no additional cost for the use of their party room.) If you’ve never come to a Pastor’s Restaurant Tour—this would be a great time to start. Folks laughed so hard at the last one that their faces hurt when it was time to leave. Now that’s a good time! There is a sign-up sheet in the… Continue

Getting qualified for loan modification is not an easy task. At times the borrower may try to fulfill all the criteria, but still may not get the loan approved. Appling with utter care and with a clear and detailed application can make difference. People opt for…

My friend, Amy, and I headed a couple hours down the state to the small farming town of Coral.
From there, we followed the rural directions to meet Homemaker Ang, her friendly husband Matt (a… Continue

In the very, very early days of our sled dog kennel, we met Carrie.
She was working spring, summer and fall up in Alaska at 4-time Iditarod Champion Jeff King's kennel, and living just a stone's throw down the road during the winter months.
It only seemed right that we would connect.… Continue

Nintendo's Wii has been one of the most profitable games consoles ever sold, and after its launch in 2006, Nintendo took months to satisfy pent-up demand. This enabled the company to charge a premium price for its hardware and make large profits while rivals such as Sony and Microsoft were losing money on every machine they…
One might argue that Angelenos are by nature always in costume, but the pressure of outward appearance is never greater than on Halloween. Although many have been crafting their costumes since July, others among us will scramble around the house with mere hours to spare, t…
