Good Morning

I decided to post a new comment today because I am get tired of seeing the same post for months. Sonny and I have been busy. I am not sure what we are doing, but quilting is not happening around here. Makes me sad--I have so many projects in mind and started. I really have been working on a queen size quilt, and it has lots of applique, so that has slowed down progress on the quilt. I cannot wait to get it on the quilting machine. Quilt photos later.

You would think I had a "Bucket List" with my experiences since June:

First, Sonny and I, traveled on my fourth (his fifth) Peru Mission (June 2012). We love Peru and our friends there. Here is a photo of me as I arrived at the top of the Sun Gate (8924 feet) at Machu Picchu.




Then in July we traveled to one of my favorite places to visit--Shipshewanna, IN. We met our son and his family there and had a great time. The highlight was having our grandson, Nikolas, traveling with us.

Cousins getting together.

Andrew excited about getting to ride in Amish buggie.
Nikolas exploring on Natchez Trace. 




On Labor Day weekend we traveled to Michigan to camp with my son and his family. First time in a tent.



We spent a day on Mackinaw Island where we enjoyed an 8-mile bike ride around the island on Lake Huron.



Relaxed to sunset on Lake Michigan.

Visited White Fish point on shores of Lake Superior. Loved this star quilt displayed in the LightHouse.

Maggie and I on the shores of Lake Superior.

This is me at the finish of the 5-mile walk across the Mackinaw Bridge on Labor Day. Fun time had by all!


Six days and over 2000 miles in a car -- Home Again!
