Gallery Project presents Food for Thought, a multimedia exhibit in which over 27 local, regional, and national artists explore the complex and varied relationships people in American culture have with food. Eating is one of life’s universal activities. At its most basic level, food is essential to all life; without it, we would perish. But food is more complex than that. How food is defined, produced, processed and delivered is hightly intertwined with basic cultural values around money, power, politics, even religion. Food defines our past, our present, and our future. The opening reception is Friday, Nov. 4 from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Lewis Jewelers is 90 years old. Wow!
People want to do business and spend time with people they like and trust. You build that type of friendship/business relationship over time, through common interests and by who you know. So I was thrilled to be invited to Lewis Jewelers annual dinner at Weber’s to mingle with people I have come to trust and some great Ann Arborites.
It was nice to see some familiar faces, David and Rosemary Lewis, DK, Fred, Jonathan, Keith, Janice, Lucinda, Heidi, Susan, Beverly, Bonnie, and Ron. The staff is salaried so you never feel pushed into buying something.
I was very interested to learn about the cutting techniques explained by Brian from Hearts on Fire. They say they have the world’s most perfectly cut diamond. These diamond crystals are taken from the mine and cut and polished at 100x magnification, 10 times the industry standard making them “dance” even in low light. I tried on a bracelet fit for a Queen, alas, not for my budget.
According to Hearts on Fire, the cut is the single most important factor in determining the beauty of a diamond. Their diamonds had more facets and reflect more light than the standard cut diamond. They only choose diamonds from conflict-free sources that are compliant with international trade laws. What an amazing interactive class I had.
Lisa from Roberto Coin was very kind to let me wear a stunning pave diamond necklace from their collection and then to sport a black diamond necklace, which I wore through dinner and felt like royalty, or imagined what that felt like. This Italian jewelry designer hides a ruby in each piece, allowing direct contact with the skin. It is believed to promote long life blessedwith health and happiness.
I promise to return to Lewis Jewelers, a place I trust, with people who have a passion for their customers and their product lines. There is a good reason it is always busy there. If you have not visited them at 2000 W. Stadium Blvd, I suggest you do so. The web is www.LewisJewelers.com or call them 734-994-5111.
A Special Thanks for a Wonderful Evening Guys! I am so happy to call Ann Arbor my home.
After visiting the Spotted Dog Winery for a Private Toth Team Party, a few of us walked across the street to get a
tasty burger. Having never been, I was open to the experience. It was dark, busy and crowded. We all had burgers that were very good and huge! The service was courteous, prompt and the clientel was mixed with a couple making out at the bar, some families, lots of men watching big screen sports, single folks, etc.
All in all, it was just what we needed and we enjoyed our evening there. Be sure to get a burger at Dan’s. Give this restaurant a try or maybe this is your hang out?

When it comes to retirement, most people want to simplify their lifestyle and take life a little easier, slow down and start to enjoy themselves while being free from the stresses of working life. However, when it comes to living arrangements, often people downsize from their current home and consider a smaller, more manageable home. Some choose to move into a senior living community.
One such popular community in Chelsea, Michigan is Silver Maples. Silver Maples is a well designed, well planned community of properties that offers independent residential living for seniors as well as a licensed Assisted Living Community.
Their Mission Statement is: Silver Maples provides opportunities for seniors to continue actively building their lives on their own terms — growing, aging well and connecting with our community.
Silver Maples was founded back in 1997 with the aim to address the needs of active seniors, 62 years or older. The community is sponsored by the United Methodist Retirement Communities and the Chelsea Area Wellness Foundation. Silver Maples senior living community is nestled on a serenely wooded 17.5 acres close to shopping and the Chelsea Community Hospital. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with walking paths for residents to stroll and watch the local wildlife. All this and just minutes from Chelsea’s popular, quaint, downtown area. Silver Maples community definitely has a great selection of activities to do, fantastic community amenities and a wonderful community spirit!
Just like the Chelsea Retirement Community, written about before, don’t forget that Chelsea has some great restaurants, theater, art, and the terrific Chelsea District Library. Take time to visit Zou Zou’s coffee shop, the Chelsea Center for Arts and the renowned Purple Rose Theater. Chelsea definitely has it all and is the perfect relocation destination for retirees!

The arts are so important to local communities, as we just wrote about Hill Auditorium in downtown Ann Arbor, readers who are looking to move to other parts of the Ann Arbor metro area will be excited to learn that they don’t have to just go into downtown Ann Arbor to enjoy the arts, other surrounding communities often have their own local arts.
Look at Chelsea, Michigan, for instance. Chelsea is home to the fun non-profit community organization the “Chelsea Center for the Arts” or CCA for short. The CCA’s mission statement is “Developing, fostering and promoting music and visual art in Chelsea, Michigan and the surrounding communities.”
The Chelsea Center for the Arts, located at 400 Congdon St., Chelsea, MI 48118 encourages you to discover new skills, refine existing ones, meet friends old and new and participate in diverse music and art programs led by hands on instructors. The Center was founded back in 1995 and serves the City of Chelsea and the surrounding areas in Washtenaw County. What started out to be a very niche organization serving the few has now become a true community asset and amenity and is a pillar in the local area. They even have their own Facebook Page!
As for visual arts, there are creative visual art instructors who teach, encourage and inspire you to have fun and experiment, there are classes, workshops and more in the following fields:
Of course for those that might not want to take lessons in music or art there is always the other side to the art world, that is the enjoyment of art by others! There is, whats called the Center Gallery at the CCA which showcases fine art by instructors, students and other local artists. The gallery features paintings, photography, stoneware, sculptures, jewelry and much more! Best yet, the exhibitions are free and open to the public. Just think if you did take a class you could have your work exhibited!
The Chelsea Center for the Arts is definitely a great community asset and helps benefit the lives of residents in the area. It is no wonder that Chelsea is such a desirable community to live in and a top relocation destination.
