Finally, a beautiful day with no rain or wind. Headed out early today to go to a nearby flea market, but when we got there most of the vendors had packed up and left. So we made a quick course correction and headed to an old cemetery I noticed on Thursday.
I've included a few photos from today's adventure including some of the wooden signs (you can see I ignored the no MSU parking sign) at Wolf's Den, at the cemetery and a really cool cloud that Joan spotted while we were at the cemetery.
I saw a Civil War statue and I was curious if there were more Civil War veterans buried there. There were several old graves that held indicated soldiers from the Civil War. Thankfully, the local veterans' organizations have placed markers and flags at every veteran grave in the cemetery.
We spent more than a half hour walking through this historic old cemetery checking out the graves of veterans of nearly all America's wars.
After the cemetery visit we stopped at Wolf's Den, a wood working shop with wonderful hand made furniture and craft pieces. We spent a lot longer there than we had planned because of the great items they had for sale there.
Although we didn't buy anything today, we found a large carved bear that we are going back to buy Monday or Tuesday. I'll take a picture of it when we get it.
Following that little adventure we headed to Krolczyk Cellars, a new winery in Free Soil, Michigan. We missed it last week during our wine hunt because it is only open on weekends. A young couple with a background in wine-making are growing their own grapes and collecting grapes from small growers to make a small selection of wines.
One of their sparkling varieties won a bronze medal at a Michigan wine contest in East Lansing last year. Joan sampled the only two wines from last year's harvest that are not sold out and gave them both a "thumb's up." So we bought some wine for Joan and a bottle for the Family Literacy Center wine auction and headed out.
We stopped at a local Farm Market, but didn't find anything we couldn't live without. Once home we clicked on the Lions-Vikings game and watched the predictable, if unhappy result of another Lions debacle.
If you want your quarterback to get well, just play the Lions. It will cure what is ailing any faltering quarterback. I'm really tired of investing time in this horrible team.
Fortunately, we didn't see or hear how the Detroit Tigers did today. Joan whipped up a couple interesting spaghetti dishes for us tonight and we ate in.
