Mother’s Day

This year we celebrate our Mothers on Sunday, May 10th. According to Wikipedia.org, the first Mother’s Day celebration was held in this country in 1908.

I’ll see my Mom later today. That’s my Dad (Dick Winters) and Mom (Gloria) in the picture above.

Who you would want to play your Mother in a movie. Here is what people said:

  1. Meryl Streep
  2. Sally Field
  3. Julia Roberts
  4. Jennifer Lopez
  5. Angelina Jolie

If I had to pick from that list, I would say Sally Field is probably the most like my Mother.

If you haven’t seen the video I did for Mother’s Day a few years ago — here it is. And yes, that is my Mother’s actual voice in the video…

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.
