Morning sunlight and deep shadows cover the fall foliage at the Trap Hills - Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula.
Have a great day!

House over a waterfall, this seems like a good one for that. Where's my architect, I want a Frank Lloyd Wright waterfall house. My living room floor will be glass and directly over the area just above where I am sitting. The living room window will be largeand looking directly at the large ledge waterfall and the other window opposite will be looking downstream over the deep gorge below. This was an exploration with a friend in 2025. A year where I added about 140 more new waterfalls.

🍻🍁 PROST! What an Oktoberfest! 🇩🇪🥨

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Oktoberfest with us yesterday!

Mother Nature may have moved the party indoors, but that just brought us all a little closer together! ❤️🍺

A special shout-out to everyone who helped pull together such a fun event — our hardworking AJ's team, our entertainers, our volunteers, and, of course, all of YOU who joined in the festivities! We couldn't do it without you!

Now, we need your help making a decision for 2027!

We're already looking ahead to next year's Oktoberfest, and we're considering two dates:

🍁 Saturday, October 2 — A little earlier in the fall!

🍂 Saturday, October 16 — Keeping our traditional mid-October celebration!

What do YOU think? Would you prefer an earlier Oktoberfest or should we stick with mid-October?

Drop your vote in the comments! 👇

Thanks again for making Oktoberfest at AJ's such a great time! PROST! 🍻❤️

🍺🏈 RECOVERING FROM OKTOBERFEST? WE ARE TOO! 😂🍻

If you're feeling the effects of yesterday's festivities, we've got just the cure!

It's SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY at AJ's! 🍹

We'll open the doors at NOON with our signature Bloody Mary's!

🍺 DON'T FORGET! Bring your Oktoberfest stein back to AJ's and enjoy a $5 Bloody Mary or Screwdriver! (Yes, Jay, we remembered your Screwdrivers! 😂)

🏈 And of course, it's FOOTBALL SUNDAY! We've got the Bears, Bills and Packers on the schedule today. What a full day!

❤️ A special shout-out to my friend Liz for catching my incorrect football game times! Once a schoolteacher, always a schoolteacher! 😂 Thanks for keeping me on my toes, Liz!

Come on in, recover from Oktoberfest, enjoy some football and keep the fun going!
