Trip around Lake Michigan..and beyond

 

Been a couple of weeks already so my apologies to those who check regularly. 

The first week since the last blog was more of the same. 

We did visit the Allegan County Fair, sent out an update by email which if you did not receive but would like to read just let us know!

Since last Wednesday we spent many hours in the car. 

Thursday morning we loaded the car in the garage due to the cold rain falling and headed north.

We were able to spend a few hours visiting with Fritz's first foster family who lived with him in Haiti for 2.5 years.

Then we continued north to visit Fort Michilimackinac. 

On Friday Fritz crossed the Mackinaw Bridge before we ferried to Mackinaw Island for most of the day soaking up lots of beautiful views and trees along with more history at the fort.

Back in the car to Marquette where I showed them some significant locations from my medical school years, including the spot on the beach near the lighthouse I used to read Cory's letters.

Fritz took our picture.

Saturday we continued west to Minong. We enjoyed our stay at a lake side cottage. 

We shared on Sunday morning at the River Church; close to 10 hours after lunch we returned to Michigan.

Monday Cory's folks brought him to the airport and by 5 p.m. on Tuesday he arrived home at Délice. 

The house is OK other than the internet not working. A plastic bag around the receiver deteriorated letting water into the works. Cory doesn't know if it can be fixed-so a prayer request.

Thankfully he can use the internet during good weather by using the router like we did before. 

He plans to work on preparing the second water retention pond as it only holds water 1/2 way up. 

Cory also brought up all the fence and enough poles to hold the fence in place around the new land.

He will be visiting the school director and the Agape kids in the next couple of days. 

Thank you for your interest and for those of you praying for your support.  

So far Fritz and I have done well with school, appointments, and even a library visit this week.
