Kathy Drue / Lake Superior Spirit
At Lake Superior Spirit, Kathy Drue tells the story behind her New Year's Resolution:
Years ago I glided around on icy surfaces like a young’un who fell easily, got up, wiped her snowy jeans, and skipped on across the glaring slippery ice without a care in the world.

But I didn’t think I looked too cautious, too ancient, too careful until two weeks ago when a white-bearded man smiled broadly at this tiptoeing Ice Mama and said (it still stings to type the words): ”Gosh, you look like an old lady!” and he smacked my upper arm exuberantly, almost resulting in the old lady’s imminent collapse.

Kathy has lived with her husband, Barry, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, between Marquette and Houghton, for more than 30 years now. She lives a quarter mile from the Huron Bay, five miles from the Keweenaw Bay, and blogs about whatever her heart desires, which includes just about everything.
