Husband and I went Up North to enjoy the fall. One of our favorite finds: Glen Park Mineral Springs in Onekama. Once the site of a hotel resort where guests came to enjoy the mineral springs. You can still dip your feet in (but it was too cold for us!)

Just finished @thomasha.bsky.social ‘s book, Uncertain Sons, and wow. The title novelette is a stunning closer. A surreal, violent story of monster hunting in the hills around Los Angeles (and what incredible, grotesque monsters!) that veers into sudden tenderness at the end

Dropped off eldest daughter at O’Hare airport and then spent weekend in the Chicago area. The Hokusai and ukiyo-e art exhibit at the Cleve Carney Museum is a must-see
