Ordinary Joys
With summer at its peak and new routines around the corner, we here at LCJ are taking a beat to focus on little moments of joy—and ways to keep ourselves alert to life's goodness.
​
In our print magazine, we share a sourdough recipe from a local spine surgeon, spy wood ducklings jumping the nest, invite you to consider becoming a Master Gardener, highlight a native farm bringing back bison, and so much more.
​
And because we couldn't resist something out-of-the ordinary, our feature story reports on the case of the ruby slippers, stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Garland's childhood home. We're sharing it in its entirely online for free.
We hope you enjoy!
