Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ 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 […]
~~~ 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 […]
