It feels good to be home even though we had a wonderful time away. I didn't end up taking too many pictures. Once we got up for St Johns I didn't even take the camera out of my camera bag. Oh well.
We had a wonderful but quick visit in Minnesota. We stayed one night in Bayfield and plan to go back for a longer visit.

Along our way to the U.P. we spied this mural wall. The pictures just don't do it justice. Each face is different and there are names in each of the stars who served our country in the various wars. I was amazed by this wall. The artist did a wonderful job.
We had such a busy time with Church services at St John's or what my mother would sometimes call it Midsummer Services. There were many many people there. I'm glad the gas prices didn't stop everyone from going. I always enjoy St John's services and each year as I get older I come to cherish them even more.
I also got a chance to meet some blogging lurkers :) and fellow bloggers :)
We put our puppy in a kennel for the week and this morning we are off to get her. This is how much Sadie is loved here. I didn't cry when we dropped her off. I only cried about an hour after we left which is about the time I cry when we leave a loved one. But.....when we walked in the door last night the first thing all 3 kids who live in this house asked us was "Where's Sadie?". No "Hi how was the trip" just "Where's Sadie?" (LOL) Jim and I didn't mind in fact we are actually so happy to know that Sadie really is a member of our family.
Well I'm off the get back into my routine after being gone a week.
Believe it or not this is the third attempt to post this morning. I lost the first 2:( GRrrrrrrrrrrrrr
