October 16 is an eventful day. It is the anniversary of the day my parents got married (1954), and the day my nephew became the father of twins. And, in 2008, the day I had my stroke. I always mark that particular anniversary with grief for what I lost that day. Without going into a …

Fall Colors in NW Lower Michigan Oct. 14, 2020
Pete had an appointment a little over an hour away, and, even though once again it was a cloudy and dreary day, the colors were spectacular! I believe God was giving us glimpses of His glory… I was snapping photos without looking, since I was driving, so of course most of them ended up on …

St. Ignace & Mackinac City Trip
On Monday (10/13) a couple of friends and I drove up across the bridge to see what we could see in St. Ignace. Stopped at our favorite gift shop and bought a few trinkets, got some photos from the west side of “the bridge”, then went to Mackinac City for lunch and shopping. It was …

What I’ve Read Today
The things I read aren’t always things with which I agree, and I’m not always familiar with all of the sources so I make it a point to follow and read any cites listed as well. But because I found them interesting in one way or another, I include them in this short list – …

When we bought our first motorhome and moved out of our house we kept our bedroom and garage for our use on occasion, and storage, respectively. There have been times we’ve come back to the house and parked in the driveway for various reasons, but now that we’ve leased the lot about an hour away …

Sunday Visitors; Amazing Maisie
It was a chillier day today but the sun was bright so we decided to make a fire in the firepit and enjoy God’s creation anyway! I don’t recall if I’ve shared Maisie’s story, or how God made her perfect for me and got us together, what she was like, etc. but she was a …

The last few days I’ve been unable to go out at all but today was so beautiful AND supposed to be the last nice sunny warm day for a while – until spring? – so I was determined to get out there one way or another…and I did it. Following are some photos I took …

Elliot the Meyers Parrot Is A Winner!
Hi guys…in going through my downloaded FB files I found a photo that I’ve been looking for for a long time. About 10 years ago I listened to a morning radio show every day, and at one point they had a contest for people to send in their favorite morning pictures. Winners would be included …

My First Week Without Facebook
It’s been a week already? Golly. I don’t miss it. I do, however, miss my friends and family. Facebook made it easy to stay in touch. At any rate, I have my self-allotted social media time filled nicely in spite of it. I do spend a lot of time here, on this blog site, and …

Hump Day Happenings, Autumn Colors
We were up early today, well before dawn, as we had told Casey we could stay with the kids today and entertain them while she worked. We got on the road plenty early to have time to stop at a coffee shop on the way. But when the heater didn’t warm up our toes I …
