One of the most rejuvenating things about working in advertising is the creativity.
When Liz had back surgery awhile back, we created a Liz-edition Operation game. When the agency had our 25th anniversary, we didn't get a Lucite paperweight; we got cool bowling shirts. With our names embroidered on them. That we wore bowling that afternoon. For my own baby shower last year, we had a potluck lunch and all the food had bacon in it. And, this past week we have been celebrating Andrew's wedding.
There are plenty of people who go to work every day at a place where there's no room for fun and laughter in-between all the real work. I am glad I am not one of them.

A group of five women are putting a Detroit spin on an international recipe for vodka.Our/Detroit is to open at the end of the summer in Southwest Detroit as part of a global network of vodka distilleries called Our/Vodka. Our/Vodka is produced in urban microdistilleries around the world and branded with the city name – hence, Our/Detroit. Wine and spirits distributor Pernod Ricard came to Detroit last summer in search of entrepreneurs to launch its first U.S. distillery. The company found its team in distillery manager JeanMarie Morrish, sales director Lynne Savino and three local partners, Kate Bordine, Sara Aldridge and Brandi Keeler. All five women have helped in the construction of the microdistillery, located at 2545 Bagley St. in Detroit. The former Bagley Billiard Center building was most recently Bagley Food Center, which closed in early 2000. Our/Vodka was started by six entrepreneurs in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2011. Two years later, the first distillery-city partnership, Our/Berlin, opened.
Women team up to give vodka a Detroit flavor
The team
When Pernod Ricard representatives came to Detroit to scout for entrepreneurs, they ended up at Ponyride, a Corktown co-working space, where they met Bordine, Ponyride's executive director. Bordine traveled to Berlin, where she met the local partners and saw the pilot project in action."I just fell in love with the project, how creative and fun and innovative it was – taking a global company and giving it local roots," she said. Bordine, 32, eventually connected with the other women, who worked out their roles in building Our/Detroit. Aldridge, 34, previously worked at Mercury Burger Bar in Corktown as well as for Greening of Detroit, a nonprofit dedicated to helping communities with tree-planting projects, environmental education and urban agriculture. At Our/Detroit, she will manage events and the bar and will work with local horticulturists to find local ingredients. Keeler, 25, works at United Way for Southeastern Michigan as a visual content specialist, and will manage branding and marketing for Our/Detroit.
Morrish, 24, worked in research and development until taking on the role of distillery manager.
Savino, who worked in sales for a specialty food and wine company, will manage sales.
The product/process
Pernod Ricard provides funds the distillery buildout and provides the recipe for each city; the local partners are in charge of production, sales and marketing.Bordine said the Our/Vodka recipe is universal, but it will taste a little different in every city, because ingredients are locally sourced. Pernod Ricard's investment in Our/Detroit is around $600,000, the team said. This includes the construction, design and repurposing of the building. Bordine said the investment works like a private loan, as Pernod Ricard will share in the profits of each microdistillery. Customers can try Our/Detroit vodka in its 40-person tasting room; the microdistillery will also be open for tours during the week. Our/Detroit vodka will retail for $16.99 a pint. Morrish said the goal is to make 200 gallons – 1,600 bottles – of vodka a week. The team plans to start testing Our/Detroit's first batches the second week of June.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb track and field groups will be taking their talents to the Rhodes Open in Memphis, Tenn. to kick off the first competition as part of the outdoor track and field season.
Coming off a very successful championship run at the Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships, it seems the track and field squads are ready to delve into the next chapter of the season.
"We've had a solid three weeks of training since the A-Sun Indoor Championships, which has been really nice," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field. "We should be stronger, and since we haven't raced in a while, we should be hungry to compete."
The conversion from indoor to outdoor track and field will come with several pros and cons for both track and field squads.
"The transition to outdoor track is always interesting," said Taylor. "Tracks are faster, the air is better, yet the weather is more unpredictable. This weekend's forecast is for some rain, but relatively warm, so it shouldn't impact performance potential."
Also at this event, many sprinters will be subjected to some strengthening practices by changing up their usual event participation.
"At Rhodes our sprinters are going to be moving up to get some strength. So 400 meter runners are competing at 800 meters for the first and only time this season," said Taylor. "Short sprinters are going 400 meters. Coach (Marcus) Evans has a tradition of doing that for one of the first two outdoor meets each season. It helps our sprinters perform stronger."
Those athletes participating in the hurdles will also see a slight change in their events after making the transition to outdoor season.
"For the hurdlers they get their first chances at longer hurdle races. The sprint hurdle race moves from 60 meters indoors to 100 and 110 meters outdoors, and we add in the 400 meter hurdles," said Taylor.
The shift from indoor to outdoor also means some long awaited performances from some of the field athletes.
"Field events will be doing their normal thing. Now that we are in the outdoor season, we finally get to see our javelin throwers compete," said Taylor. "Indoor weight throwers also transition to their first opportunity to throw the hammer."
"Most of our distance women are competing in the 5000 meter in this meet. There isn't much competition, so they have a plan to use our talent and depth to help us run fast. Our goal is to get a few new girls into the 16's so we can take a bigger group to Stanford in a few weeks," said Taylor. "We will also have a trio of men planning to pace themselves to fast times that will hopefully get them into Stanford. Although we have fewer athletes in the middle distances, we have some strong potential there. For the men, several of our top middle distance guys will run for the first time this year."
The meet in Memphis this weekend is sure to be just what both squads need to enliven the beginning of a new phase of the season.
"Overall this meet is an opportunity to get the outdoor season rolling," Taylor said. "To see where we are and how much we have improved in the three weeks since A-Sun Indoors. It should be a fun meet."

Merriman Ancestory
Looking to trace the Merriman bloodline from England to New Zealand, John Merriman married Maude Fielding not sure of dates maybe late 1800's to early 1900's, lived in and around the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
I do not know anymore on John or his parents, brothers and sisters. Maude Fielding mothers name was Sarah Fielding who was prominent in her own right in and around Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty, New Zealand.
P.S I am the oldest grand-child from the Merriman side under Jack (John Charles Francis Merriman & Ivy Barnett) my grand-parents.
Kind regards

It really doesn't get better than a Caribbean wedding! The warm breezes, festive music, rum and late night soirees by the beach really can't be topped. And this next wedding is certainly no exception and judging from the description by the bride, it must have been one heck of a celebration! Robin Roemer Photography snapped up all the pretty and there's a whole lot more to see right here in the full gallery!
Click here for the FULL wedding!
From the Bride... I got married on April 14th, 2012, and it was the wedding of my dreams. My husband Ryan and I got married in Grand Bahamas Island in the Bahamas at the Pelican Bay Hotel. We chose the Bahamas my family is from the island of Grenada and I always wanted a Caribbean wedding. Because my husband's family is from Iowa, I wanted an accessible Caribbean island. So we settled on the Bahamas. We hosted 115 guests who came from Iowa, New York and Grenada. We had our ceremony on the beach, and it was absolutely beautiful. Since the hotel was on the bay, a ferry transported our guests to a private beach for the ceremony. There was not a cloud in the sky and it was 75 degrees. Ryan's brother, Matt, conducted the ceremony and my father, Anthony, sang "Edelweiss" from The Sound of Music with a violinist. He used to sing that song for me growing up, so it was very touching.
After the ceremony, we had cocktail hour at the pool of our hotel. Steel drummers performed, and cocktails featuring liquor from where Ryan and I are from were served — whiskey from Iowa and rum from Grenada. At the reception, we shocked our guests by inviting a Bahamian Junkanoo band to come play. Junkanoo involves festive brass and drum musicians dressed in carnival attire. They ambushed the party and cranked the it way up! My aunt made my wedding cake as well. I was so honored. Our reception went until 2 in the morning! Almost every one of my guests told us it was one of the best wedding they have ever been to. It was also the best day of my life.
