This is the first leg of what we hope will be a wonderful journey and we want to develop a way for all of our friends to stay connected with our lives. This is just an experiment and we are certainly novices at this whole process, so be patient as our "Blogging" efforts are tried out and tested. Here is the cottage where we are staying in Petosky, Michigan. We woke up this morning (Friday, December 2) with a temperature of 19 and about 2 inches of snow. You are looking at the back of the cottage (according to all the natives). The front faces Crooked Lake which is not more than 3-4 miles from Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan. It is so quiet here this time of year - no boats or tourists. The setting is perfect for those who need to rest and be renewed. So there you have it - our first efforts at a blog!
