Maiya, people were in yesterday who are renting the house you and Dave and the boys stayed in one summer! Karen, I agree that the Tribune has a great look -- fresh and clean but with a historical flavor. <br /><br />I've been thinking about what book I can tuck into the Little Free Library in front of the Depot....<br /><br />Farm market was great this morning! Dinner with friends at an outside table at the Garage Bar & Grill was fantastic! I had a new draft -- beer? ale? -- called Founders' Centennial (I think), and the taste made me think I was in Grand Marais. (That's a compliment.) Dinner specials all sounded so good it was hard to decide, but when I heard the word "lamb," I ordered the kabobs without hesitation and was a proud member of the Clean Plate Club before we left for home.P.

It's fun to watch all these additions take shape. I'm especially impressed with the cute exterior for the Tribune. Hope they finish in time to enjoy the summer crowds.

The Leelanau peninsula (home to Sleeping Dunes National Lakeshore) has Lake Michigan on one side, Grand Traverse Bay on the other, and inland lakes besides. Boating, fishing, sunning, swimming -- famous "sugar sand" beaches and sparkling water. Do I sound like a promotional brochure? But it's all true.P. J.
