God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Mackinac Island - Day #2

We've had a busy day.  We started the day with breakfast at the Pink Pony.  We then took a carriage ride around the island with a stop at the Butterfly Garden.

























































We stopped at the Fort and ate lunch with a beautiful view of the bay.




















We ended the evening with dinner at the Grand Hotel.  It was a spectacular evening!

Mackinac Island - Day #1

Today we said goodbye to the Herman Family and headed to Mackinaw city to meet our other family (Grandma Kusch & Harts) and catch the ferry to Mackinac Island.  We spent some time in Mackinaw City, had lunch, did some shopping and then met at the ferry. Once we got to Mackinac Island we had supper and walked around.  We immediately felt relaxed once we got on the island.

Herman Family Vacation - Day #5

Today Dave went to a local winery with his dad and sisters. We've had a great week with the family.  We've made some great memories.  We've been blessed with good weather too.  We wish we could do this more often!
