This weekend we went to Charlevoix for Samantha and Joel's wedding! It was a beautiful affair! They were married outside at the Queen's Castle! It was wonderful being included in the Jevnikar family for the weekend! Sarah was the Maid of Honor ~ she looked stunning! We also enjoyed spending time with Jonathan! It was a great weekend of celebration! Going to weddings always reminds me . . . "the road is bright before us, as hand-in-hand we start. We'll travel on together, one mind, one soul, one heart!" It's my prayer that Sam and Joel have many, many happy years together.

Between the wedding and reception yesterday, we took a drive to Clare to visit the Cops & Doughnuts bakery! Very cute! I first heard about this on Good Morning America and then on Fox News. Later that week, there was a big article about it in the Flint Journal! Check out the story on their website at www.copsdoughnuts.com.
This is one of the nine police officers who own it now. By the way, their doughnuts and cookies are terrific! Love it!
This week we went to Petoskey with Don and Diane. We stayed at the beautiful historic Perry Hotel! Believe it or not, the guys left their golf clubs home! Biking was great, but after four days,they were itching for the golf course! 
Our view of Lake Michigan was amazing!
The next day we biked into Harbor Springs! The trail goes right along the lake and through a Nature Preserve. Beautiful sights! 
On our way home we stopped in Charlevoix to look around. I'm entranced by the bridge that rises every half hour for the boats to pass through! So very amazing! 
This week, Kay and I headed to the Mackinac Island. She hadn't been there in 25+ years, so we decided to do the 'tourist' thing and visit for a day. The weather was cold and drizzly, but we had a big time!! We shopped, sampled, sauntered, and shivered, but loved every minute of it!!
Kay and I rented bikes and rode around the island. The vistas were breath-taking! 
The flowers on the Island were amazing! I guess the cooler temperatures contribute to their beauty. Brrr...it was only in the 60's while we were there!! 
While it sprinkled, we sat on the Grand Hotel's porch - - staying nice and dry! Notice the beautiful Big Mac bridge in the background of this picture! Amazing sight from any angle!!
As we sat on the porch, we admired the 'taxi' as the guests arrived at the Grand. 
The storm was creeping closer and closer to the island - - time to head for the mainland! It was a fantastic day, despite the chilly temperatures!
