Just so y’all know...we’ve wandered off to pursue other parts of life for a little while, but we are planning to return with more videos.

Chuck is already about one-third of the way through editing a video from this picture. It isn’t Michigan, but it should still be "pretty damn interesting".

Anyways - We’ll see you in a couple of months with something as predictable as a headless chicken wandering through a wedding reception. ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know Poppins has a collection of dolls on display at the Grand Rapids Public Museum?

It’s true.

In 1999, Poppins, aka Martha Meade Hayden donated a collection of nun dolls she had inherited from her grandmother, Martha O’Brien Bunek.
Her grandmother would send a doll, along with $20, to convents representing different religious orders. A sister from the order would then dress the doll in the distinctive habit worn by its members and send it back.

The result is a remarkable little collection preserving the clothing, traditions, and identities of many different orders...and a piece of Poppins’ family history now tucked inside the museum.

It's like a tiny little disciplined family reunion. ... See MoreSee Less
