I’ve had a great 2 days in Door County but today I leave for Escanaba, about a 3-4 hour drive up the west coast of Lake Michigan. Today the sun is out and not a cloud in the sky!
The day started with a tasty breakfast of sunshine juice (mix of cranberry and orange juice), raspberry tea, egg dish with bacon, potatoes, mushroom, peppers and cheese (very similar to what I had yesterday actually), banana bread and rice pudding. Great way to start the day!
And today from the devotional Jesus Listens “Lord, Your love for me is not passive. It actively chases after me and leaps into my life! Please open the eyes of my heart so I can "see" You blessing me in myriad ways- both small and great.
I want to not only receive Your bountiful blessings but also take careful note of them-treasuring them and pondering them in my heart. I’m thankful for the countless ways You show up in my life.
I like to write down some of these blessings so I can enjoy them again and again.” What a blessing Sarah Young’s devotionals have been in my life over the years!
I didn’t leave Sturgeon Bay until 2:30 as i unexpectedly got an appointment for a pedicure and haircut! I love the unexpected surprises of the day! I was taken very good care of by Bonnie and we filled our time with sharing some of how God has worked in our lives. Yes, for those of you I have been visiting, I left Bonnie with a Scrubbie!
Then it was time to hit the road…I drove along the western shore of Lake Michigan north to Escanaba. It was another day of watching the Fall colors change. I arrived about 6:30 at Bonnie and Lowell Nordgren’s (Bonnie is my dear friend Laurie Kennedy’s sister), received a warm welcome, have the house next to theirs to stay this next week while visiting. So thankful for the friends and family, and extended family of friends that make this trip possible and such a rich time of blessing!
Road Kill Totals for the day: 3 deer, 1 fox, 5 squirrel, 1 opossum, 2 skunk AND almost 6 wild turkeys! Turkeys were beside the road and if they at the last minute came to the road they probably would have been added to the list!
When I arrived at Lowell and Bonnie’s I got to meet up close and personal their 11 wild turkeys I’ve heard about over the years! At one time there were 40!
