We just celebrated our third Thanksgiving in northern Michigan. It was perfect. We had good food with no major cooking disasters (I really don’t love cooking, tbh) and great conversation. The weather was also gorgeous. No snow yet, and the sun even peeked out a few times to counteract the chilly temperatures outside. We started …
The extraordinary is all around us, if we stop to notice it and learn from it. I was blessed to be raised by amazing parents who modeled faith in God daily. Here is one example.
Hello, everybody! This week I wanted to share a few photos of our trip to Arkansas. A view from the Mountain Tower in Hot Springs. I had never been there before!!
