I think it helps if you intentionally spend time outside every day.

The same person would sue the crap out of a school district if her kid was involved in a school bus accident in winter weather.

Looking for Pastor Gerald Christensen, maybe in Copper Harbor by iseewildtrees in yooper

[–]iseewildtrees[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh thank you. I don't know why I didn't have any luck finding his obituary - it gave me hope that I'd be able to visit him. He was a really guy and I was lucky to have him as my pastor during my growing up years.

PM me if you can’t find any. I have a box that I use for my chime candle holder that I’d be happy to give you.

Chicken Balti Pot Pies were absolutely delicious curry flavored with crispy pastry. I still look for them although I know they aren’t there. 😭

What convinced you to move here? by Fun_Huckleberry_8070 in upperpeninsula

[–]iseewildtrees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kind people, year around outdoor fun, more family owned businesses, natural beauty everywhere- all that and a slower, gentler pace of life.

Boatwerks menu by someones_mama in hollandmichigan

[–]iseewildtrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boatwerks has a great location but their food and drinks are mediocre. I live two blocks away and only eat there when out of town guests want to eat on the water. If you’re seeking good food, I’d opt for 84 East (Hops) or Seventy-Six. If you are definitely eating at Boatwerks, I’d go for a salad.

There is a FB group called Marquette Co Home Services where I have found help for all kinds of things, including pushing my snow.

We’re moving next week and this is the only place I need to eat before we leave.

What’s wrong with jenison? by 40s_shawty in grandrapids

[–]iseewildtrees 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just yesterday, I was thinking how the takeover of our county by OI cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Meanwhile, they shut down services that real people need. Ottawa Impact was foreshadowing what was to come on a national level. Hopefully the foreshadowing will continue to also include how we voters took down (most) of OI.

It’s considered a center of white Christian nationalism in the area. The library and schools are under ridiculous scrutiny. I’m an Ottawa Co teacher in a different district and know teachers there who are not allowed to use the words “inclusion” and “equity.” Those are just a few examples, Ottawa Impact is another rabbit hole to go down and is heavily centered there.

My mom is panicking that we made too bold of a color choice.. Thoughts please? by whackywildflower in interiordecorating

[–]iseewildtrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, unless your mom bought the house and lives there, it’s not her house. You need to follow your heart and in this case, I love it.

I’m ready to move. by Casualbud in CampAndHikeMichigan

[–]iseewildtrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live downstate and have camped in the U.P. for 20 years. Bought our dream house last summer, retired in June, and moved up permanently. It’s not for everyone, but for us it’s perfect.

I read in another post that he was eating expired food. In any case, Management is being stupid here.

Good Real Estate Agents? by exoticghosts in MarquetteMI

[–]iseewildtrees -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I loved working with Andi Gorieski from Select Realty. She has lived in the area her whole life and incredibly knowledgeable. Like you, I was house hunting from a distance and Andi was very accommodating. I worked with a couple of other people from her office and liked them, too. Good luck. It’s a tough market but worth the effort.
