Wordless Wednesday

Blueberries are in season here.  When I stopped to get some, this cool old truck was in the parking lot.  Isn't it a beauty?

Blogging friends

Have you had the chance to meet some of your blog friends in person?  I've had the chance to do that quite a few times, and this past week I got to meet another friend!

This is my friend Kim and her husband Ivan.  Her blog is Just a Southern Girl, and if you visit her there, you'll hear about her life in Argentina.  Ivan and Kim are missionaries there, but are here in the United States on furlough until October.  I was really happy to get a note from her that they would be in my area and would be able to meet for coffee.

Kim and Ivan were both as nice in person as I expected from reading the blog.  We caught up on life here and in Argentina, kids, grandkids (they are expecting their first in a few months), home projects and even quilting - which she has a real talent for!

We had such fun talking that time got away from me, and it was time to go. I know that when they come to the States, their schedule is really full and I really appreciate them taking time out to meet me. 

A day at the beach

My sister Terri has been camping in Grand Haven and invited me out for the day. This is a campground we've camped at too and I always enjoy spending time there.  Here's a few pictures from my day.

This gazebo overlooks the lake and the flowers around it are so pretty!

 

Beautiful Lake Michigan!

It was a cloudy day, but the sun came out in the afternoon and it warmed right up.  My sister Cheri came also and we had a good time together.  We also found a few cousins camping there and had a great time catching up with them!  

We are blessed to live about 20 minutes from Lake Michigan and it was nice to spend the day enjoying it.
