We're in the cabin and are still in the process of settling in, but feel so good about being here. The drive was easy. We stayed in New Buffalo, MI, Thursday night and visited Barb Miner in Holland, MI on Saturday before driving to Gaylord for Saturday night. We crossed over to the Upper Peninsula on the Mackinaw Bridge Saturday morning, caught the 11:40 ferry at Detour, watched as the lake boat, American Century, came by, and were at the cabin by noon. The cabin survived the winter, but we are replacing the water heater which has finally decided to quit after some 25 years of service. Our friends (from left to right) Pete, Sandy, Jurgen and Candice very graciously unloaded the car for us, and Saturday evening Jurgen and Candice had us for chili and wine and several welcoming scotches. We went to church Sunday and reunited with friends and now feel even more that we are where we belong -- at least this time of the year. For those winter months we have not only our Warrensburg group of longtime and loving friends, but also the wonderful friends and fellow worshipers at Christ Church in Lexington. And, of course, along with all this we have our five boys and their wives and families. So, we are much blessed.

After church Sunday we drove north bout 15 miles and saw the Trillium. Along the way we experienced a new clear cut timber area. The Trillium are a beautiful example of what nature can do when left alone. The clear cut is the work of man and the picture pretty much says it all.

This week we will continue to move in and buy flowers for the deck and hanging baskets. Greg and Lori will be with us Memorial Day Weekend to help with the flowers, clean gutters, and I'm sure find other things to do for us.

We miss all of you and love you.
