The Waterfront Bar and Grill!

Check out today's MENU!  The Waterfront Bar and Grill has OFFICIALLY opened within the Lansing City Market, serving beer, wine, spirits, and an array of AMAZING food, prepared with ingredients from the market.  The patio overlooks the gorgeous river, with a beautiful tiered landscape.  We are SO excited to have this at the Market!  Open till 11am-11pm!  AWESOME!

I Make Things.

I especially like to make new things out of old, unloved, no longer appreciated things.

It's just something I like to do.

HOORAY!

We recently had a FANTASTIC writeup in the local newspaper, The Lansing City Pulse, about our organic farm produce stand, that we own at the Lansing City Market!

It's all perfect.

It may not all be EASY, or make any sense, but just a simple morning stroll through my gardens, camera in hand, reminds me that it's all ok.

"Nobody's Perfect".  I don't buy it.  We may make mistakes, we may have our flaws, we may not look just like everyone else.  But, we ARE perfect.

I've learned not to question it, not to force it, not to fight it, or to figure it all out.  I will simply let it flow, like the seasons, like the river in my back yard.  Like water, air, snow falling, petals dropping from my flowers.  Whether we like it or not, it's all going to happen. 
And, while we may not understand it, there's a deeper reason, one that may not make sense to us now, but, fighting it, denying it, rebelling, will not keep any of it from happening.

All in perfect order.

a tiny little exhale...

We took a little escape from reality tonight to see "The Machine" at Common Ground, a music festival here in Lansing, Michigan.  They're a Pink Floyd cover band, and they were spot-on.  I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to Pink Floyd.  A fireworks display during and after the show made it even MORE rock-star.  Lansing is an amazing place to live.  Monday is tomorrow, and it's back to reality, but tonight, sitting under the stars, having a few beers with some really great friends, and listening to some quality live music was just what the doctor ordered.

Monday begins the "doctors orders"...and we are all going to be on pins and needles, and on our knees, praying.

...and then...it all changed.

...as did my perspective on many things.  Just one sentence.  And our family will never, ever be the same.

Seeing things from a whole new angle. 

Pray.

The Lansing City Market is Beginning TO ROCK

So, tonight was the Grand Opening of the Waterfront Bar and Grill at the Lansing City Market.  I can't begin to describe how cool it is to walk outside of the gorgeous Market, to linen-covered tables, along the river, and watch the boats cruise by, while eating delicious food, and listening to the music at the Common Ground Music Festival.  Pinch me. I'm dreaming.  This is where I WORK.  Life.Is.Good.
