Not Enough Words Here

Friends, there are not enough words to describe the natural beauty we encounter in nature and in the people we meet. That's partly the reason for inserting pictures in this blog, we suppose, but there aren't enough pictures to communicate the beauty, dignity, and worth we encounter everywhere, in everything and everyone, all the time. A lot happens that never can be posted here. Then, too, we are somewhat hindered by technology. Just look... Our laptop is literally held together with duct tape. That's an excuse for not posting more, but we are going with it for now. Since the last post, we have camped in Colorado, New Mexico, and today, Oklahoma. Next up: Arkansas, Mississippi, then Alabama--our home state--for a couple of weeks. Since you are reading this, please know we appreciate you, are grateful for you, and bless you.

Tip of the Mitt and Beyond

 We camp for several days in Benzonia, Michigan, as indicated here: Nearby Frankfort is a delight to us. So are several communities around Northwest Michigan that we visit. We spend a lovely Sunday afternoon at the city beach in Beulah, Michigan. Then we break camp and tow to Saint Ignace, Michigan, where we plan to camp for a couple of weeks. It's our first opportunity to view Lake Huron. The truck needed an oil change, so we drive to Cheboygan, Michigan, and get that job done. Then we kick around town, see a few sights, and eat lunch, before driving back to Saint Ignace, across the Mackinac Bridge. Jeri and the Crib Light at Cheboygan We meet a couple from Slapout, Alabama, at the Cheboygan Crib Light, and we talk with them for a while. We run into one another again later in the day at a restaurant. What a coincidence; what a blessing! Saint Ignace endears, however, Roger falls ill with a summer cold. We'll take it slowly until strength is regained. We view the fireworks disp...

Friends for 40+ Years

  Jenny Lake in the Grand Teton National Park is a lovely place. We remark to one another that each territory has its own kind of beauty. We see it again and again. The picture above was taken on a day trip that we took while camping in West Yellowstone, Montana. We meet with friends at Walcott State Park, Idaho. We have known them for a long time. On a day trip to City of Rocks National Reserve we snap a few photos. The next day we eat at Jasmine Thai Restaurant in Idaho Falls, Idaho, then we go to Shoshone Falls Park. The locals tell us that the water level is low. It must be even more spectacular when the water is at a high level. As much as we treasure natural beauty, we may cherish the loveliness of long-maintained friendships even more. Thanks for renewing our ties, friends!
