Fall work has begun here now. The new ceiling fan in the living room and the new hot water system in the basement are proofs of that. We have planned how to install a fireplace in the living room. We didn’t plan for a dead refrigerator. I am kind of glad now that it’s… Continue reading Improvements …
Cave Time
( Thanks, Lance, for this picture of the Split Rock Lighthouse on the North Shore of Lake Superior.) I have been trying to get this post on “paper” now for several days. With reunion pictures to sort and photo stories to create I have been distracted. Elv preached Sunday about David…the poet, the… Continue reading Cave Time
Summer’s Almost Over
Summer's at the end: school books are ordered, it's cool outside, the garden is tired and full of surprises, and I'm getting the urge to make firewood. I promised Elv that if he'd bring home the firewood logs; Brad and I will make it all into stove wood. I love that work of "splitting and… Continue reading Summer’s Almost Over
Reunion

I don't need to tell you how wonderful it is to be able to spend time with those who share your same roots, oddities, and… Continue reading Reunion

It's a long 12 hours to Newago, MI! It's… Continue reading A Week of Events
Life Is Short…
We have been reminded of that again this week. Aunt Barb went to glory after a short illness with her second bout of cancer. Elv and I dream of the future like any other couple: being out of debt, going into service for CAM, having a cabin in the woods to come home to,… Continue reading Life Is Short…
Princess House
I remember when Princess House and Interior Decorating were all the rage for home makers. I was invited to parties and I even went... to covet mostly, I admit. Normal people couldn't afford the wonderful household pretties these companies offered. At one of those parties I bought a set of small square mirrors. I still… Continue reading Princess House
Canoe Date
We put in on Grindstone Lake at the landing and took the shoreline to our right till we came to the channel. By the time we got to the channel a rain storm was coming up so we motored through quickly to find shelter under the bridge. We weren't the only boaters looking for a… Continue reading Canoe Date
Our Summer Verses Colosians 3:12-17
12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything… Continue reading Our Summer Verses Colosians 3:12-17
