Say hi to Chico. Chico needs some training, mostly on how to walk on a leash. He is not fond of other dogs. At some point in his past he may have dealt with a heavy hand and sometimes cringes when approached. Chico doesn't trust new people. Once he trusts you he is very attentive, smart and eager to please. As you can see he is also very handsome. Chico will need to be an only pet and is probably too active for a home with young children.

While I may be new to the longarm quilting world I am not new to sewing or to northern Michigan. I have lived here for over 20 years and recently decided to take my love of sewing and creating items for others to start a business of quilting the pieced top portion along with the middle batting and backing to complete your handmade quilt. I also offer the ability to work with you to design/sew/finish a quilt for you if would like a one-of-kind quilt for your very own.

Truestream Celebrates 10,000th Fiber Internet Connection
Truestream, powered by Great Lakes Energy (GLE), celebrated the achievement of 10,000 fiber connections on Thursday, Sept. 30. This monumental achievement was met in less than three years from the first home installation of Truestream fiber on Oct. 25, 2018.
“To reach 10,000 connections in such a short period of time has been no small feat. The teamwork and coordination involved is truly inspiring,” stated Shaun Lamp, Truestream CEO. “We still have plenty more connections to make and we’ll continue working to reach our entire service area as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
Truestream, launched its fiber network in Emmet County in 2018, with future plans to reach all GLE electric members interested in life-changing, blazing fast internet and voice services. Connections are currently underway in Allegan, Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet, Oceana, and Otsego counties. Construction plans for more areas will be announced later this year for the network build, which could take up to 10 years to complete.
