We have continued to have problems with our Facebook site, but it seems to be working right now, so if we seem to go "offline," that is only because something isn't working right.

We have had many comments and compliments on this photo of the Lighthouse and park made by Jim Gill in 2020. Thank you, Jim!

Our Facebook site has been down for several months. Despite trying many options, we have only just got into the site, so if you haven't heard of seen anything of us, that's why.

Other people are having the very same problem and we have a "workaround" that we are trying out.

Here is a little something to add some color to your day. A random selection in no particular order of color photos around Ottawa County from over half a century ago.

These tend to be all the eastern end of the county. We simply don't have color photos of the west end of the county from this era.

We note all locations but have not noted specific dates. If you're curious, ask us.
