Ahhhhhhhhh!


That loud sound you might have heard this weekend was the sound of me finally relaxing! What an amazing trip we had to the North Shore!

Dan and I drove up early on Friday and got in 9 holes of golf at the Superior National Golf Course - the scenery was awesome, while the golf left something to be desired.

Later that night, Eric, Lisa, and Heidi arrived in time for the evening bonfire. As usual, we were blown away by the beauty of God's creation - the moon was big and bright!

On Saturday, after a wonderful breakfast prepared by Chef Eric, we spent the day in Grand Marais. We sat on the rocks of the shoreline, with the boys enjoying their stogies and conversations, while the girls got caught up on some journaling. We spent the afternoon wandering the Lake Superior shore, poking our heads in some shops, partaking in a great meal, and wrapping up the day with 50% off everything at the Dairy Queen (like we hadn't eaten enough already)! The evening ended with another amazing bonfire prepared for us by Fire Marshall Dan (stop poking at it Heidi)!

Another tasty breakfast was enjoyed by all on Sunday, with one final stop at Temperance River to see the river and waterfall, and Lake Superior up close again before we headed back home. We managed to squeeze in more food with lunch at Grandma's in Duluth! We got home just in time for the start of the Garden Communities' gathering, and we were able to join in at the worship time - I belong to a truly wonderful community of people!

I can't wait until the next time I am Up North again - it's the one place my mind, body, and soul can all fully-relax.

Looking at you enjoy that Stogie makes me so happy. I just want to be there with you. Ahhh...I'm closing my eyes and pretending. Yikes..I'm getting awfully close to stalking you.
