Beaver Island Michigan

Father Jim, I loved your post. And I totally agree. Living in the Detroit suburbs, we have experienced the sad closing and merging of many wonderful churches. I think about Holy Cross a lot and how our grandparents, parents and ourselves were baptized, made First communions, and were confirmed in th...

I was reading an article in the Macomb Daily a few days ago about eagles that are in Stoney Creek Metropark by our home downstate. They recently mated and were due to lay their eggs. The workers in the park were saying how they didn't feel the eggs would survive because the eagles are unable to get ...

Daniel Hendrix is the author

And may I add, I enjoyed the book a lot.

It's very frustrating that land lines can be discontinued. It doesn't just affect Beaver Island. It also has a big impact on the mainland including downstate. We have a security system in our home. I was thinking of discontinuing our land line with AT&T but realized our home security system woul...

Lawrence McDonough and his family would like to thank all of those who attended his 99th birthday party or sent well wishes. It was a memorable day filled with music and stories with good friends and family.

Thank you for posting that picture. That is what it looks like in the field behind our woods when the off road vehicles have gone through them. You can't walk, cross country ski or even use ORV's once the ground is destroyed. And all of that water freezes in the winter. I kept thinking if we could j...

I posted a reply in July 2013 against off road vehicles. I was shocked when I looked back that there were comments from 2008. So, this is a long process. As I stated previously, I live downstate at this time, was born and raised on B.I., but have property on Beaver Island. The ORV's that run behind ...

You are welcome!

Thought I would share some information on two fun books I just read about Beaver Island. They were enjoyable and if you can, give them a look. One is "The Kings Daughter" by Daniel Hendrix, which is a historical novel. The other is a Kindle book, "A body in the Woods" by R.B. Clo...

Had my dad out for a ride and saw an extremely large eagle sitting up on a dead tree on sucker point/gull harbor area. It was brown and didn't have a white head. Too huge to be a young bald eagle.

I wanted to comment on this matter because my husband and I purchased land many years ago that backs up to woods and fields (downstate). The fields were wonderful for walking, picking blackberries, etc. However, within about a year and people running their 4 wheelers, the field is no longer usable. ...

I love April Fool's Day. My dad was a big trickster when I was a kid!

Thank Heavens you are ok! Do I need to come back and monitor your driving?
