Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Saturday Afternoon, August 7 ~~~ After getting out of our horse-drawn carriage, which dropped us off at the same place where we got on several hours earlier, we caught the scent of fudge in the air, located the source and went inside to get a taste. As we walked in the door, these two […]
~~~ Saturday Afternoon, August 7 ~~~ As our team approached the building where we waited on Surrey Hill, we looked forward to a tour of the island. The horses were each given a drink before they began another tour. Our tour guide, Jesse, knew his facts about the island and was often humorous when telling […]
~~~ Saturday Afternoon, August 7 ~~~ I love butterfly houses, so was very interested in this part of the tour of Mackinac Island. Because it costs $10.00 a person Cerwin opted to wait outside. He enjoys the butterflies, but not as much as I do – and he knew he would get to see all […]
~~~ Saturday Morning, August 7 ~~~ We were at Shepler’s Ferry dock shortly before 9 AM, got our luggage tagged (for delivery and pick up at our motel), parked our car up the street several blocks, were shuttled back to the dock, and ready to board Miss Margy at 9:18 AM. She was named after […]
~~~ Friday Afternoon and Evening, August 6 ~~~ By the time the Pictured Rocks Cruise was over, we were hungry and both of us thought pizza sounded like a good idea. I think we found the prettiest restaurant in Munising. It was a beautiful afternoon, so we chose to eat at one of the outside […]
~~~ Friday, August 6 ~~~ When we visited here the night before to get our bearings for the cruise, the lady at the ticket table suggested that we get here one hour before our cruise time. We arrived a 9 AM and were the second couple in line. We had fun visiting a bit. They […]
~~~ Thursday, August 5 ~~~ The first ten days of our road trip were personal – using the time to visit family. The next six days were planned as a celebration of our 58th Wedding Anniversary which is coming up in September. You will notice that this part of the trip was a bit “touristy”. […]
~~~ Wednesday, August 4 ~~~ This is what welcomed us to their guest room – a basket with coffee, coffee cups and several books. Judi knows we are early risers – and they are not. There was a two-cup electric tea pot for heating the water. This was especially thoughtful since they do not drink […]
~~~ Tuesday, August 3 ~~~ Three deer ran across the road in front of us as we approached Walker, MN. They went so fast, I was only able to capture the last one, which appears to be a nice buck. After a few times of driving in and out the dirt road that goes by […]
~~~ Monday, August 2 ~~~ The day started with Bob and two grandsons (Wayne and Jayden) extracting honey from the beehives. Notice the smoke. Bob said that helps to calm the bees. Using a leaf blower to encourage the bees to leave. I went through Bob’s cabinet shop to get another view on the bee […]

~~~ Sunday Evening, August 1 ~~~ Like I said in my last post, I am not sure how it started, but I offered Jon and Jenn’s children the opportunity to take photos with my camera. My only rules: You must keep the strap around your neck and no running. I told them to look for […]
~~~ Sunday, August 1 ~~~ On the way to church, we noticed that the sky was clear of smoke from the fires in Canada, then as we approached Bemidji, we saw this – smoke in the horizon. Smoke over Lake Bemidji Since COVID, they have been holding worship services in the meeting room of Japheth’s […]
~~~ Saturday, July 31 ~~~ When planning our trip to see Bob and Doris, they thought we would enjoy this festival, the reason we chose the last weekend of July. After helping Bob and Doris set up their stand, I walked around the park to check out other vendors. Several of Bob and Doris’ grandchildren […]
~~~ Friday Evening, July 30 ~~~ Cerwin and I were looking forward to having supper at Japheth and Aimee’s house. It was built since we were in Minnesota in 2015. We had seen pictures, but there is nothing quite like being there. In this photo, Alisha (Jon’s daughter), Jon (Japheth’s brother), Aimee and Loraine. Jon’s […]
~~~ Friday, July 30 ~~~ The guys – Bob, Cerwin and Dietrich (Bob and Doris’ grandson) – set up their stand at Scenic Store in “downtown” Pennington. The store is the town. 🙂 There are a few surrounding houses, but not close together. Doris said the “town” includes 52 people. Scenic Store is a local […]
