2012 Wyandotte Booklet Ads

2012 Wyandotte Booklet Ads, a set on Flickr.

Via Flickr:
These ads were published in an community focused coupon booklet that was mailed out to the entire city of Wyandotte, Grosse Ile, and parts of Trenton in Michigan.

The focus on the booklet was the upcoming "Paint the Town Pink" event set in October 2012. We were honored to participate in such a community event, to be involved with the local small businesses, and to assist those in our community.

Mom and Dad

Here is an old pic of my mom and that cousin Phyllis dug up. It's nice to see them happy together...shh!!..I know their secret...they loved each other.

I like to believe that Gabrielle and Gwyneth would appreciate this one.

"“Most truly I say to YOU, The hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who have given heed will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted also to the Son to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to do judging, because Son of man he is. 28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. 30 I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative; just as I hear, I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me." - Bible Book of John 5:25-30

Dad and Me

I believe this was around 1976...picture of me and dad. I guess he was even smooth way back then. I miss mom and him both :(

Fire spreads in downtown Wyandotte

Dan & I are so devastated over the Downtown Wyandotte fire! We are deeply saddened at the loss of Lions, Tigers & Beers (LTB's). We have had many great memories here, meetings with customers, eating with friends. We pray for the firefighters involved. Dan & I watched from inside Total Health Foods with Katie & Janette, the owners of Total Health Foods. Total Health Foods was directly across from the blazing fire. We saw many firefighters from multiple cities teaming up together to keep it from spreading. It deeply touched my heart to see the cities of Trenton, Allen Park, Ecorse, Brownstown, Rockwood, Southgate, Detroit, Lincoln Park and Wyandotte cooperating to save our downtown. I have often thought as downtown Wyandotte as Downriver's Downtown. Witnessing all of the Downriver communities banding together to fight this fire was truly moving.

Dan & I are concerned for the small business owners that will be affected by this tragedy. We pray for a speedy recovery for them as well as the City of Wyandotte.

With Deepest Sincerity,

Dan & Stacy Cataldo

Oh Look Who is Cooking!

Dan and I were asked by the Wyandotte Patch to share one of our favorite recipes. Dan selected to make Chinese Dumpling. This is by far one of my favorite dishes he makes for us. It is delicious! Dan was visiting one of our clients before the Patch came over for the story. David Reno from Winedotte Wines recommended the white wine to serve with the Chinese Dumplings. Oh was he right! The white wine he choose brought out the flavor of the dumplings. It was so yummy!
