A Slice of Heaven

This lovely cottage was home for a few days this week, as 4 girlfriends and myself made our annual trip to visit our friend Maryanke on Mackinac Island. (She gets to call it home all summer long!) It is as glorious as it looks!
Click on the photos to make them larger!
We ferried in the same day as the hundreds of sailboats running in the 100th Chicago to Mackinac race. This view is from the front veranda looking towards downtown. You can see all the masts docked in the harbor.....the day starts early for some. Maryanke and Susan are coming back from an early morning walk with Sandy and Alex...
....and then Maryanke is off for a riding lesson on Regina.
Alls quiet this morning, but the night before the town was filled with hundreds of people on the island for the race or just to soak up the island's charm. There was music late into the night, fireworks and for us anyways, lot's of laughter and fun! More to come....
