Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ August 26, 1961 – August 26, 2021 ~~~ I don’t have a date for this photo, but it is one of the first pictures I have of us as a couple. He was 20. I was 17. On our first date we doubled with Mark Fahnestock and Marcy Henry (now married). Mark, Marcy, Me, […]
~~~ Saturday, August 21 ~~~ As I walked toward the sunset, this Mourning Dove kept its eye on me. The sky was filled with a variety of scenes and clouds as I glanced from south to north. Due west was brilliant orange. There were dark foreboding clouds high in the sky. We have had many […]
~~~ Monday, August 16 ~~~ I’m not sure when Cerwin decided it was time to clean out the roof spouting in this method. Maybe he realized that he is getting too old to be climbing on the house roof, or maybe it was the protesting he received from his wife every time she realized he […]
~~~ Sunday, August 15 at Jakey and Crystal’s ~~~ We had a good turnout of Cerwin’s siblings, their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Jakey and Crystal’s were the hosts. Crystal is Elvin (Cerwin’s brother) and Pat’s daughter. Crystal used an online signup format for the food meaning we had a nice variety of good food. […]
~~~ Tuesday Evening, August 10 ~~~ We were home from our trip only a few hours when storm clouds began approaching. Rain is coming! Rain was a nice welcome home. 🙂
~~~ Tuesday, August 10 ~~~ We were on the road shortly after 7:00 AM for our last day of this road trip. It was a bit cloudy and there was lots of morning work traffic. Traffic became lighter as we moved away from the Cleveland area. I always enjoy seeing mist in the mountains as […]
~~~ Monday, August 9 ~~~ After leaving our motel we drove south, with Lake Huron to our left. There were signs that autumn is coming. I enjoyed that some of our morning drive took us right by the lake, with many summer homes and resorts. I treasured the last sights of Lake Huron knowing we […]
~~~ Sunday, August 8 ~~~ We woke up to a cloudy, rainy Sunday morning on Mackinac Island. I took my cup of coffee to the second floor balcony (near our room) and watched the happenings down on the street. It was fairly quiet but there were a few people and carriages. This carriage appears to […]
~~~ Saturday Evening, August 7 ~~~ I will start this post with an appreciation for the location and hospitality of Lake View Hotel. We liked that our motel was in the downtown area of Mackinac Island. It was easy to access from Shepler’s Ferry and they were quite accommodating. Our luggage was taken there by […]
~~~ 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 […]
