St. Joe Lighthouse

Just thought I would throw in a couple of pictures of our lighthouse. We went for a drive around town after Church yesterday, and since the sun was shining (surprise, surprise) I brought my camera along. Next time I will have to bring a tripod along too tho. But it is always enjoyable to watch the waves come rolling in. Hope you enjoy the pics. This is on Lake Michigan by the way.

a Christmas Family Photo!

This was taken at around Christmas Time, but there are a few folks missing. I wonder if I could figure out how to add them in???

Ha ha - can you tell I have been playing around? Still haven't figured out how to fix it tho!



I have another question - when I post something new, I get lots of visitors according to my counter, but very, very few comments. Do you think these visitors are regular nice people, or are they people looking to do bad things to my blog? I wish I could tell more from my counter thingey.....!

Oh well, - more Christmas pictures will be coming in the days ahead!

Ladies Night Out & Happy Birthday!

We had a wonderful evening last night - with 35 women! We went out for supper, and then went to go and see "Menopause, The Musical" in South Bend. We also celebrated three birthdays (mine was last week) and we had a marvelous time! Flori orchestrated the whole thing, and started out being the five from our book club going, but it just kind of blossomed, it was so much fun! Saw a lot of good friends I haven't seen for a long time, and met some new friends too! And the musical was great - I will never think of those old 60's songs the same again. If you get a chance to see it, I would highly recommend it! So anyway, I am way behind in my blogging, and hope to catch up with Christmas and all that other stuff since I last wrote (Thanksgiving I think), but will at least get these pictures up yet now. Have a good one!

And don't forget - if you wanna see the picture up close and personal, just click on it, you'll see! And don't forget to leave a comment or two also - please! You can always do this under anonymous, and then sign your name.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Myself, Fran & Clay

I am not even going to apologize for not writing for so long - oh well!!! But thought I would take a minute to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving! This year both of our kids were not able to be at home - Ben is out in Washington state and Emily is in Spain - so we went out to eat to a wonderful restaurant in Holland, that was half way between our house and my sisters. So it was just hubby and my sister and I, but it was a great restaurant, and they had an incredible buffet, with everything you could ever want for a feast! And we have lots to be thankful for - we have been blessed many times over over - thank you God!

So here are a few pics of our feast....... and the young men cutting the prime rib, turkey, or ham, asked me not to include them in my photos, so there was more to eat than just the desserts and salads! Hope you all had a good dinner too!

Ahhhh, the desserts!

Mozart

Or Mo Mo, our kitty! Here he is awhile back when I was sewing, and he just seemed to think that all those pattern pieces were put out there for him to sleep in! Well, weren't they? (doesn't he have the prettiest green eyes?)
