There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. – Ecclesiastes 3:1
Dear readers,
I know I’ve been a bit AWOL lately. After my “sabbatical” turned out to be spending a year posting about every other week instead of every week, this year I have finally stepped back to focus on a couple of projects that have been on the back burner for too long – since before the C***d lock downs. I will post updates as progress is made (soon, I hope).
Meanwhile, I want to share with you a peek of where we spend summers, where I’ve been going for as long as I can remember, since before the north lighthouse had the American flag. I remember the night three teenagers snuck out to the end of the pier and painted that bit of “grafitti” that remains to this day. (Two of those teenagers ended up getting married, and this July we’ll celebrate our 52nd anniversary. 😏)
Enjoy. And if you happen to be in northern Michigan this summer, I hope you’ll let me know. I’d love to show you around.

Prayer: Our Father and Creator, we are grateful that this world we have marred with our sin still has so much in it that reflects Your glory. Thank You for the beauty of the changing seasons and for the joy of human friendships. Thanks for friends we haven’t even met yet but have connected with through our love of writing and passion for You. Thank You that we can look forward to forever together in Your perfect kingdom, in Jesus’ name and by the power of His blood. Amen.
Welcome back, stranger!

You must find it wonderful to share such fun memories from your teen years with someone you’ve been hanging out with for 52 years!

Yes, we revisit those days often, especially on our walks. (I used to worry that we’d run out of things to talk about, but we’ve had a lot of experiences worth reminiscing about.)

Seriously, Mitch? Where all are you going? Are you familiar with northern Lower Michigan? (sorry if I wasn’t clear about which peninsula…)

Good to see you “back,” Annie. I got back from a blessed trip to Vancouver (B.C.) and environs last night and will post something shortly, albeit not about the trip!
