Winter Break Two

I gotta tell ya, I'm already sick of winter in Michigan. Oh well, only five more months till spring. In the mean time, I'll try to make the best of it. Here's one from today – skeet shooting under the lights. Enjoy!

Winter Break

Enjoy!

Royal

This morning I spent time with Royal Braley Jr. during his morning walk to a bakery near his apartment in Midland. Royal is physically challenged, so during the winter, this short walk from his home, becomes extremely difficult. He slipped several times, but it wasn't until we were back in front of his apartment building that he actually bit the dust. His biggest gripe is that the city, and local businesses do not do enough to keep pedestrians safe, which is why earlier this month, Royal, armed with a petition of nearly 300 signatures, went to Midland City Council and requested that a pedestrian bridge be built over one of the major intersections near his home. The city said the bridge would cost too much money, but they are currently addressing the situation, and plan to install new crosswalk signals that will give pedestrians 28 seconds to cross the street. However, this doesn't solve Braley's snow problem. I guess that will be his next battle.

Kelly's Belly

This post is long overdue. I blogged only once in the month of November, and this is my first post since then. Sorry for the lapse.

Here are a couple photos of Kelly from today. Enjoy!
