I jumped on a plane to Detroit the other day, rented a car and took off for a twelve-day, one-woman road trip up and down and across the state. First stop, a lovely two days with a college friend and her husband in Grosse Pointe, a book talk with a dozen or so of her lively friends, and then a trip to the Edsel Ford estate.
Next stop on my one-woman road trip: Pentwater, way across the state on the shores of Lake Michigan near the spot where a pivotal moment in my book “Wrestling with God” took place when I was a kid. (Hint: A big meet-up with God)
Today — 1 p.m. Saturday — I’ll be reading from my book at the Pentwater library. My cousin Mary Helen Blohm, a real estate person here in Pentwater, made the arrangements.
My trusty point-and-shoot came along with me, of course. Here are some pix.

Barbie,
Safe travels. I read “Wrestling with God” aloud to Mary. I certainly enjoyed it…and plan to read it again as soon as I get it back from Mary’s aunt who borrowed it to read. Can’t really say how much Mary took in, but I certainly found it thought provoking and look forward to rereading and contemplating it some more. You did good with this one. Have a fun time in Traverse City with Shag and the other Tri-Delta friends next week. Shag will keep you all busy with lots of interesting things to see and do, in between your catching up on each other’s full lives. Mary is doing pretty well, all things considered.
Love and hugs,
Steve and Mary
Thanks, Steve. I so wanted to stop and see you and Mary, but as you will see I have scheduled a five-stop whirlwind tour of Michigan and I’m wondering whether I have bit off more than I can chew. So far so good . . .
Next will be our get together in Traverse City with our college friends. See you in a few days.
Traverse City photos coming up soon!
