This evening at 6:49 PM ET -- my cousin Kevin Sweeney (a ND GO IRISH
BLOG regular) sent me a text with this video attached of a burning
building...
It wasn't just any burning building it was a monument to my youth. You see, my Grandpa and Grandma Doyle opened a brand new restaurant/bar in Mecosta County (Michigan) on the northern shore of Blue Lake -- on July 4, 1941 -- see add promoting it in a local newspaper.
This special place has changed ownership over the years -- it's now called Blue Lake Tavern. But, what never changed was how important this piece of real estate was to me, our family, our friends and the many I've never met in this rural region of the world.
Yet, what has surprised me the most is how profound my grief is. This was HOME and now she is in ashes... Tough to swallow.
Memories are all that is left...
Yes, I'd rather go to Grandpa's house
Than any place I know
For Grandpa says I'm his boy
And, Grandma love me so...
This is a poem that Grandma Doyle would ALWAYS recite to her eight grandkids...
