starting small - day 14: a week













June 10th, 2017 - This is the fourteenth day of a 40 day blogging challenge: some pictures and words each day. Come back tomorrow to see more posts!

It has been a lovely week. We arrived in the Peninsula and were greeted by sunny skies and balmy weather. The lake was cool and inviting, the kayaks were ready to be used. At night, it rained. Books were read and hand-lettering was practiced. We discovered and explored a hidden county park, bordering Lake Michigan along breathless cliffs. The woods were green and fresh. Wrens eggs were hidden in the safety of a prairie bluebird house. We visited cute lakeside towns. We bonded over good food and lots of tea. We ate ice-cream and licorice shoestrings. We sought after sunsets, and watched the sun sink beneath a watery horizon. The Andy Griffith show played in the evenings as the rain sprinkled down out of the night sky.

It has been a good week. Refreshed, we return home and anticipate next year's visit.

I am so happy to finally be here celebrating it with all of you tonight.   As you might imagine, there is so much I could say about my big sister. You get to know someone very well after living with them for almost nineteen years… but because time is short and I’m not a public speaker, I’d like to share with you three lessons that I have learned from Megan over the years. First, if you really know ...

Come back tomorrow to see more posts!   ~~~  All in all, it was a never to be forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world.  // L.M.
