i’m officially freaked out. My hotmail account has been hacked. Please DO NOT open any email from me (Deb Schumacher) that says HELP in the subject line. It is a scam, stating that we have been in England and mugged. Everyone in my contact list may receive this email. I don’t know that anything would happen to you, but be on the safe side.

I have not opened any suspicious email myself, we have virus protection and firewalls, so I am at a loss to understand how this can happen. Thank you though, for your immediate concern.

Mark your calender July 16, 17

The Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory is located on Detroit’s Belle Isle in the Detroit River, nestled between the city’s near East side and Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Located just two miles from Detroit’s downtown, it will soon be connected to that area via the city’s burgeoning International River Walk. The Conservatory, in operation since 1904, features five distinct horticultural houses showcasing plants indigenous around the globe as well as an outside Lily Pond Garden and formal perennial gardens. It is a popular spot for weddings and a mecca for both professional and amateur photographers.

Owned and operated by the City of Detroit Recreation and General Services Departments, the Conservatory is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no admission charge. The phone number for the Conservatory is 313-821-5428 and the supervisor is Leticia Bertaud.

We’re all so busy moving, moving, moving. Time is flying by. We received a letter from the Country Corner thanking us for doing some of our business with them. Locally. When we could. We can’t always buy from them, but we do, when we can. I hope it’s the same for you. I hope you think of The Mill and stop in when you can. As a small, family run business, we do appreciate it.

In return we hope you notice when we walk you out to your car, in the pouring rain, with an umbrella over your head. When you come in to get coffee and forgot your wallet, and we write you an IOU. Or how we know exactly how you like your coffee-whip, no whip, 1/2 caff, weak or strong etc. etc. It’s our way of thanking you, everday, for your patronage.

I’m really excited about our fan page on Facebook. If you haven’t been there yet-get on over-special coupon on its way and much more.

Here’s to you , not just today, but everyday. Thank you!
