Last night I took my youngest to an information session on Walled Lake Percussion. It's a group that consists of members of all three Walled Lake high school's music programs. I had no idea this group even existed locally until my son announced he wanted to be a part of it. The kids from …

30 Days of Thanks – Day 15
Growing up, we always had Sunday dinner at Nana & Grampa's house. Nana would slow cook a roast, mashed potatoes, vegetables and dessert. She'd also cook up some Yorkshire Pudding for us to drench in gravy. I continued the same tradition with my family minus the gravy and Yorkshire pudding but the …
