Enjoying summer. We had the chance to travel up to Mackinaw City a week ago and what a great time we had. We toured Fort Michlamackinaw, the Mackinaw City Lighthouse and the Old Mill. Great chance for the kids to expand on the Michigan History unit they all have studied at school. Nothing better than experiencing things first hand.
We had the opportunity to attend the wedding of hubby's niece Elissa as well. What an amazing wedding. She married a man she met while attended Spring Arbor University. They are headed to Sao Paulo, Brazil, where he is from, to be missionaries in one of the many slums in that city. Gui, her new husband, has a tremendous burden for the unsaved in his city and Elissa is equally burdened for them. They are a great couple and though we will miss them, recognize that their decision is pretty special.
On the critter side of our world, the market chickens should arrive by mail today or tomorrow. That is the last project to get started on. Fair is about six weeks away!
And School is only a week and a half away!!!!! The kids start on the 20th.....and so goes summer.
The garden has begun to produce. I put up 18 quarts of green beans last week. The pickles are slowly providing enough to make a batch of 14 day sweet pickles. The sweet corn is growing, and there are TONS of green tomatoes out there. Waiting to get some peaches to can sometime this week. I love canning, so I am anxious for the chance to put shiny jars of fruits and veggies on the shelves in the basement.
