Black River Harbor
On August 13, we took a break form the farm and headed up to the UP of
Michigan for some camping along the shores of Lake Superior. We met
up with friends to continue a traidition that started back in the 80’s.
We have taken a family picture at this sign every summer. It is fun to look
back and see the changes in our family over the years.
One of the highlights of camping is cooking and eating!. We brought along
our griddle and did a Wrangler Breakfast for all the families.
This year we experimented with Ducth Oven cooking. One night we made a
mexican dip and the next we tried a Triple Berry pie! It turned out great.
Another first was making pizzas on the griddle.
We spent most of the afternoons relaxing on the sand beach but one day we
headed up the river to one of the waterfalls. Just down river from one of the
falls is a spot where the river gets narrow, the water is deep, and the sides are
high. This was Madeline’s first year to take the plunge.
Each evening we headed down to the rock beach to watch the spectacular
Lake Superior sunset.
Ladies Fellowship
This Saturday we hosted the ladies from First Baptist Church of Whitehall.
Our theme was “Walking through the hills and valleys of life together.”
Becky used the blackberry to illustrate the fruit of the Spirit for the devotion.
God gave us beautiful weather. The ladies enjoyed lunch together and made
jelly baskets.
Blackberries
It’s blackberry season!

Cool Car
A friend of ours drove his restored 1919 Ford truck over to the farm after the
church picnic Sunday. He drove it all the way up to the ridge to pick blackberries!
It was a sweet ride.
Church Picnic
On Sunday we hosted our local church’s annual church picnic. We had about 170 people in the barn loft for the service followed by two baptisms in the stock tank and a potluck in the pavilion. We appreciate the First Baptist Church of Whitehall so much and enjoy partnering with them.
