Mackinac Island

We're off to the island - cruising over on the ferry for a few days

of.....

....relaxation???

fun in the sun...

....whose idea was it to take that valence down??

All freshened up now....

....a bit of swiffering on the porch

ahh, a moment to enjoy the floral displays

...and the freshly dusted cottage

...a joy to clean the fabulous antiques in the

cozy family room.

Time to explore the neighborhood.

This log "shed" is tucked away in the woods...

....this beauty right out front on the East Bluff.

It was the tree that caught my attention this time.

The "Baby Grand" is also along the Bluff, so named for it's

similarities to the Grand Hotel.

Gorgeous flowers greet us as we return back to the cottage...

...meanwhile Maryanke (our hostess) and Susan are getting

Pearl hitched up to the antique carriage for a spin around town...

The 1st annual "Festival of the Horses" is this weekend on the Island.





Sandy & Alex relax in the family room -

2 of the most loving and lovable dogs ever!

...where did the week go...but what a week of fun and laughter we had!
