The Essence of Michigan Summer. . .

Northern Michigan is truly an amazing place to spend summers. We were blessed to spend a short weekend with friends at their cottage on the lake, and it made me think of the essence of Michigan summer. Below is just a preview of our weekend and a “snapshot” of what Michigan summer means:

. . .staying in a cottage with a view of the lake. . .

. . .after-dinner beach walks with friends after soaking yourselves in the lake. . .

. . .incomparable sunsets. . .

. . .cherry fudge ice cream at 10:30 p.m. . .

. . .early morning devotions in the yard. . .

. . .worship service inside a cozy cottage, where you can hear the waves crashing on the shore. . .

. . .picnics. . .

. . .strawberry shortcake. . .

. . .floating on the waves on a tube. . .

Ahh, just a glimpse! Check back tomorrow to hear more about our trip.
