We apologize for not blogging last Tuesday but we were unable to have access to the Internet.
A week ago today we left for a short trip to the western and northern part of Michigan. We drove up the coast of lake Michigan as far as Leland and then traveled to Traverse City and Petoskey before returning home Friday evening. This was a much needed break, and it was such a treat to see God's creation bursting into its fall colors. We enjoyed the sandy beaches of lake Michigan, but enjoying it even more with Patsy and Penny. This was there first opportunity to play in the sand and see the large expanse of water.
At night the puppies would stay in a crate in our motel room. During the entire trip, they were very well behaved. Once we arrived in Petoskey, we stayed over night with our former neighbors and friends, Kerry and Ann O'tool. They were wonderful hosts and even allowed Penny and Patsy to stay in the crate in their kitchen so they wouldn't get cold in the night. There hospitality was outstanding with wonderful food and great conversation. They even gave Penny and Patsy a comfortable little dog bed for them to enjoy. And, believe us, they have enjoyed it. Many adjectives could describe our trip but the word "refreshing" sums it all up.
Last evening we were blessed by having the opportunity to host Jonathan and Stephany Durling for dinner. Perhaps host is not the correct word since Jonathan and Stephany prepared a very delicious meal for the four of us. The food was fantastic and the conversation delightful. Jonathan and /Stephany have been married a little over a year and both display great maturity for their young age.. We believe God has an awesome plan for the two of them. Again, it was a refreshing time to be with them.
Spending time with the O'Tools and Durlings as well as viewing God's creation provided great inspiration for the both of us.
Blessings and Encouragement,
Paul, Gail, Patsy and Penny
