TODAY She would have been 64 years old....R.I.P. Karen Carpenter
Rest in peace sweet Karen.....
Click HERE for actual home video of her 23rd Birthday in 1973
AUSABLE RIVER QUEEN---FASHBACK CIRCA 1990!
It may sound silly but I just haven't quite come to the realization while combing our archives and uploading long forgotten visits onto the internet for posterity.
What really made me pause was the many children we incorporated into some of our shows...such as this one about a ride on the Ausable River Queen in Oscoda circa 1990.
These kids, you'll see here, were no more then 7 or 8 years old. That means they are well into their twenties with families of their own...WOW!
This trip seems like only yesterday....I can still feel the crisp autumn air blow through the lower deck of the Queen....I can still smell "autumn" in the air....I can still feel the magic and enthusiasm of the children and families on board for this special "Michigan Moment"....
It makes me sad in away.......that life continues.....never able to place on "pause"....except in captured moments on video like this.
We can pause tape...but not life's special moments.....
Have fun watching this segment we taped nearly 25 years ago.....and make it a point to continue to make special moments with your kids and family....Life doesn't stop...and neither should we....Enjoy!

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE MADE IT!
You can't take those memories away from us!
According to today's statistics we overcame!
Amen....and Amen!
Enjoy the memories!!
WAIT.....WAIT...DON'T GO!
I know winter this year in Michigan has been "unusually" COLD, WINDY....down right HARSH!...I hear ya!!!....I REALLY DO!
BUT IT'S BEEN THAT WAY ALL OVER THE GOOD OLD U.S.A.!
( with perhaps the EXCEPTION of some areas of Florida where my relatives continuously remind me of that! "come down" they say.."start a Florida Magazine" they say..."it's 80 in February" they say)
I will maintain my faith in Michigan's ever changing seasons!
My faith is ALWAYS rewarded with good memories and wonderful experiences....AND "Florida" weather in the Summer time. (and some times in the winter ie: 1982 Christmas day 82 degrees in Battle Creek)
No I will hold steadfast to my heritage...and play and replay my favorite summer time video by one of my favorite Michigan artists UNCLE KRACKER as he continues to tell me to "Smile"
Who can not smile as you see Kracker cruising down those northern Michigan side roads with the "top" down! Then sitting curb side ready to watch the 4th of July parade in downtown Hale after cracking open a cold Michigan Made Faygo "red pop"!
I love the scene where dear Uncle Kracker parties with all my friends at the Long Lake Bar on a hot steamy night here in Northern Michigan!
Yes I will maintain my faith and keep smilin'.
YUP...will ya look at the thermometer!....it's 17 degrees....OMG spring is in the air!
Do ya see my SMILE? :-)...
One more time Uncle Kracker....Please?
