Common days

Life is full of common days. When we talk to ppl we ask what have you been doin ? Most the time it's not much . Just the common days. Every day life things . Sometimes it doesn't seem so interesting  but that's our life.  Iv been enjoying the common days. I haven't posted because nothing's happened. Really tho lots has happen, life has been happening! 

    The little joys in life. The good visits w the friends around the table eating outside. Sunsets, fishing,  Gospel meeting yesterday the tears, the peace, the thankfulness , the encouragement,  the laughs , the hugs, the wonderful fellowship n help in meeting. Help to go on another week. 

     Reading Jonah this morning, that book talks about a big event in his life.we don't read about the common days for him. We can tell he was faithful in the common days and close to God. To keep on in the common days. 

     So much happens in the commons days and really they are so important. 

My bacon and eggs are done so I better eat and run ! A common morning so far :) 

Up the North Shore

Our Tuesday's are beautiful days in a couple ways. We get the beautiful drive up the north shore and gospel meetings in Grand Marais . It's usually a 2-2.5 hr trip and late nights but always worth it. The fellowship is so sweet, such a joy to see the friends come up and come down from Thunder Bay. Sometimes there is 6 and a couple times almost 26! The warm welcome, effort and zeal of those friends are so encouraging, does so much for me.

     We did some tourist stuff on the way up this week. Gotta get it all in Cz only 2 more times up there this year!! Can't believe it!!Dont want to think about it. 

 

Palisade Head, a look out point. 

A tasty blueberry snack up there, strawberries at Temlerance river .

This blogs beginning

Hello hello , I decided that since I am not very good at group emails or email in general I would just do a blog. Everyone can see and read as much or as little as they wish When ever they want to.

    I got inspired by my cousins Kari who always has such interesting blogs and it makes it easy to keep up w her. So this is the start of my blog . The name was one it just gave me w/o me even knowing it, so that was simple. Instead of creating my own I just kept it.Kinda fitting I think wouldn't you say ? The river between us.

    With that welcome to my blog and I hope you enjoy it as much as I think I will enjoy it. 😃

Here's a cute picture to start it off... Describes our life fairly well . The families we get to come and stay w, warm welcomes, all our kids and the stuff we bring in and carry around . Our moving in last night !!
