{we three}

We love to take early morning walks, we three. Today was the perfect morning; it was cool enough for a sweatshirt at the beginning. We stopped at the auto parts store, of course, and stopped by to say good morning to Grandma and Grandpa before we went home.

nummie-num!

A sweet little person came with me to pick some tomatoes for supper last night. They looked so yummy that she just had to pick one out of the basket and eat it. :)

good times

It was grand to be able to drive up together...

...and even better to arrive together and see the familiar paths down to the cabins, to have the fire started and hear the loons.
But it was best of all next morning to wake up to all of our dear ones and have people gather for coffee and sausage-eggs. :)

(Three meals a day for 15 people is
no small thing in a smallish cabin.)

home again

We're back from our week of vacation in the north. It was a very good time. We shared a cabin with my family and our dear friends had the next over, right on the edge of Burntside Lake. We were on either side of the point, so our cabin faced the sunrise, and theirs the sunset. It was wonderful to spend time with my people. There was much fun and talking and music and food. We kept busy...boiling water on the stove to wash dishes, making tons of food in two tiny ovens and handwashing any laundry. Heaven must be a teeny bit like this...close fellowship, joy in working together, singing...only perfected, and with Jesus!

Will and Silas

We got in late Saturday evening, after a great day of riding with my family in a big van that we borrowed from friends. Greta did very well with the longish ride in her carseat. Mama had sloppy joes to warm up, and we settled in. We had a different cabin from last year, and we loved this one even more. The air was just cool enough to have a fire every morning and evening.

Greta watched the loons from the breakfast room with Pa and Mimi.

(When I came back inside she told me

all about hearing the loons and tried to

imitate their call to show me. :) )

Lots more pictures to come!
