Thinking. . . about melting?

Woods resident John Denomme captured this snowman deep in thought on Anita. "He lives up the street from me," Denomme said in his note, "but not for long."

They flipped for the pizza

The Cooperative Nursery at Christ Church warmed up with a pizza party featuring Fresh Farms Market pizza. After playing in the snow, the children enjoyed a hot pizza snack on Feb. 23. Truly one of the only times EVERYONE ate snack!

 

Chosen to be frozen

Now that it finally looks like winter outside, it's time to get out and enjoy it. You might consider a trip down to Belle Isle, where the Belle Isle ice tree is finally in full bloom. It's on the Detroit side of the island, east of the bridge. Ihor Balaban captured this view for GrossePointeToday.com late last month.

A cold, wet nose for Winterfest 2010

 

Grosse Pointers love their dogs, and this playful pup returned the feeling, welcoming revelers to Winterfest on the Hill in the Farms this weekend. Hot cocoa and ice sculptures were among the diversions for those who ventured out on what was a fairly mild couple of days, by January's standards. With temperatures right around freezing for the next few days, we expect ice dog will slowly become a little more abstract. Better on the Hill than by the hearth; this pooch will leave a pretty big puddle behind. Photo by Ihor Balaban for GrossePointeToday.com read more...

Good for the soul

Farms resident Mary Taitt sent us three photos titled "Winter Sunrise at Pier Park." She must have been reading our minds. We needed a lift now that holiday festivities are winding down and we're facing weeks of gray skies and cold temperatures. 

 

Little voices

Chelsea Groustra sent along photos from the annual Christmas concert at Christ Church Cooperative Nursery School. The group above was led by music teacher Rhondi Kreger.  Below: William Seagram, Charlie Groustra, Luke Willson and Wells Graham.

Haunting for a good cause

 

Glen Williams loves Halloween, but this year he's turning his "Haunted Garage" to a good cause–raising money for local school parent-teacher organizations. Williams, a phys ed teacher at Maire, Trombly and Richard Elementary Schools, is guiding tours of children and adults through his elaborate indoor-outdoor scare-scapes on Mack Avenue. A bad weather forecast threatens to rain out Halloween, but he's set a rain date of Nov. 1 for the holiday's final ghouls, er, guests. Photo by Will and Ed Harrah. read more...

Cards for a cause

The Beaumont Assistance League, Group IV, hosted its annual card party fund raiser Oct. 8 at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial. More than 100 women enjoyed lunch, followed by an afternoon of card-playing. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe. The Beaumont Assistance League, founded in 1948, is comprised of 450 local women who raise funds for the hospital through gift shop sales; garage, book and uniform sales; and hosting small dinner parties in their homes. read more...

Job well done

The Grosse Pointe Library Foundation held a fundraiser Oct. 22, and honored its outgoing president, Bill Rands, for his six years of service as its founding president. Becky Booth, member of the foundation board, and Don Day, current president, flank Rands as he displays the certificate honoring him.

Stanley visits Grosse Pointe

It wasn't brought there by a Red Wing, but this will do: A local scout for the Pittsburgh Penguins, current holder of the Stanley Cup, brought it to Jumps Restaurant on the Hill Sunday (Oct. 11) and packed the house. Jumps owners Mo and Chad Stewart pose with the traveling icon as diners watch. One customer, wearing a Steve Yzerman Red Wings jersey, volunteered to take the pictures.
