I have for the last twenty-five years lived on the west side, at Ten Mile and Woodward, in the smallest incorporated city in Michigan–Pleasant Ridge. During the winter months, my wife Barbara and I (we co-produce Drinks Before Dinner) live in Naples, Florida–but again, this fancy town leads people to inaccurate assumptions about our social status.

I live in Grosse Poine Woods...on Fairholme Road. Familiar with it? LTU and ESD have a great relationship. I was at LTU last week for an event. I will visit your other blog soon. Thanks for the kind words about my rose photos. Flowers are my favorite thing to photograph :) Cathy Hi Barry,

Thank you for stopping by Monarch Musings and for the kind comment. It's sad that Detroit has had so many trials and tribulations lately. While I grew up on the East Coast, Grosse Pointe has been my home for the last 25 years. I work for The Engineering Society of Detroit...and we are making every effort possible to help bring investment back to MI and help get the talented workers in transition back to work. My photoblog is my hobby...my camera rarely leaves my side. You and Barry sure have an interesting story going on here. Hope you get lots of walks and treats. Cathy Bill,
