$2 Worth of Fun

OK......so how much fun can you buy for two bucks? Probably more than you think.....but you gotta do a little looking around.



There's a place up here called Awrey's Bakery in Detroit. Let me give you a little background, Around 1910, Mrs. Fletcher Awrey became famous locally for the wonderful breads and pastries that came from her wood fired stove. Over the years she grew her business to the point where the wood fired stove could not keep up, neither could the horse drawn deliver vehicle. Finally, they purchased a Model T Ford and began to expand the business throughout Detroit. Her boys joined the business, and they have been cooking every since. Today, they are one of the largest privately owned bakeries in the world. See picture on the right of the Awrey brother's first delivery vehicle.





So what does all of this have to with the most fun you can have for two bucks? Well, every week, Awrey's takes some of the extra biscuits that didn't sell, and they make them available to the public for $2.00 per box. Yep, that's right two bux a box. OK, so what can you do with two bucks worth of old bread....... Well, you need to use your imagination a little bit...and you may need a home on the lake..... The Awrey's people call this "Bird Bread"........and Man OH Man! do the birds love it? You bet ur bippy!!!!!





Here is a video of my good neighbor, Jerry's, beautiful daughter Madison, having fun with less than $1 dollar worth of "bird bread". You'll also notice some older guys having a little fun with the bird bread too. (One of them is yours truly, the other one is by good neighbor, Jerry Woods. Click on the picture to the right to watch us having at least $100 worth of fun for 2 bucks. As you can see, Madison and I fed the birds for quite a while, as did her Dad, Jerry. Nancy, did a great job of shooting the digital video.


So, God Bless the Birds, God Bless Nancy, God Bless My Friends, And God Bless Awrey's.

Amen, and All the best,

Mike
