   Welcome to the Grasshopper Ranch

 

A journal of fun, folly and nonsense in Michigan's great "Up-North" by Paul and Harlene.


There are a few popular sayings that go something like, "He who has the most money wins.", or "He who has the most toys wins." Since we don't believe in any of that, we have chosen to change the rules a bit to, "He who has the most fun wins." We're not sure what the prize for winning is but, we're going to do our best to ensure our place as the Ultimate Victor.

A popular saying: "Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often."

We've adopted this as our motto, as these pictures attest.

 

    Highlights

 

This year we enjoyed watching Mother Robin build her nest and then fill it with her hungry offspring.

In May the four of us enjoyed a day touring the wineries of Leelanau Peninsula.

 

 

At our annual pig roast in August we try to take a group picture. Some of the guests had to leave before we could organize this picture. But all of the good looking ones are still here!
In September we had an old fashioned "Barn Raising" with the family pitching in lots of sweat-equity. In June we finished the project by putting the siding on the building. We've put together a slide show to show you just how much fun we can have.
