My Tilley Hat

 Recently, the State of Michigan decided we needed a walking/biking path on US 23. Sadly, they took out a bunch of trees, took down our sign, and installed an asphalt-paved path.  

We at least are able to put our signs and flag. We will worry about our sign later. 

Two days ago, I was walking the path with my Tilley hat and Harris Walz pin. In the distance, walking towards me, I saw two people and their lovely dogs (Charlie and Luna).  The two (now new friends) approached, took one look at my hat and broke out into a big grin!   

Steve told me he LOVED the button on my hat; Joyce said, "wow are you brave to wear that out walking by yourself." 

I thought about that for quite a while.  What an incredibly sad state of our community when wearing a BUTTON might incite violence.  


We deserve better. Until then, you better believe I am wearing my hat.
