Amish Bound

I'm heading to visit the Amish today...twice in one week.

It's hard to believe I was on Mackinac Island last week, 
at the gorgeous Grand Hotel.


I have so many Christ-filled stories to reveal about my time on the Island.



Such a beautiful trip, both physically and spiritually.

And yes, I got to experience indoor plumbing for one night!!



 But now, I'm back in my element.



Visiting Michigan Amish folks.



And who better for a travelin' partner, but Zip.
She's so easy.  
Behaves, 
 never has to use the bathroom, 
and enjoys the McDonald's drive-thru, 
where she gets a package of shortbread cookies, 
just for being cute.



There's just something about Fall...that makes me love being "on the road"...



Until tomorrow dear friends, God willing.

Island Bound

There's only one thing better than being in my Wee House during a full moon.

And that is being on Mackinac Island.



Yes, it's that time again. 
Heading to the incredible women's retreat...Win-Some Women.
This marks my 13th year, with many years attending both Spring and Fall.



My last trip, which was last Fall,
was with friend and fellow homesteader, Homemaker Ang.



And a second blue-eyed beauty, my Mother-in-Love, Sue.

Both women are beautiful, inside and out.

This trip will be just Sue and myself, one we've taken many times together.



I'm looking forward to meeting Laura Story.

And all the other wonderful speakers, which includes Rev. Billy Graham's daughter, Ruth.
I was so pleased to hear Billy Graham rallied from pneumonia last week, at the age of 92. 
PTL! (Praise the Lord!)



I'm also looking forward to the familiar, which makes the Island so special. 
Horse travel.
There are no motorized vehicles allowed on the Island.



Exquisite food.
Female fellowship.
The name of Jesus on everyone's lips, hearts, and minds.



I rarely leave home, but to me, Mackinac Island feels like home.
And I hope that never changes.



Wish you could be here wish us.

Perhaps next time. 
Let's plan...

Until tomorrow, God willing.
