Dear Ones..... 
   
     Color us guilty! It is hard to believe that it has been three years since we have written a note revisiting our activities and updating friends and family on our world(s). This year, as we heard from some of you--both by snail mail and on line--we realized what a joy it is to get your latest news. Therefore, as night follows day, it seems important that we contribute to the communication circle of life. 
     Over the last couple of years, we have been blessed to be able to visit Michigan in the Fall--reconnecting with old friends there and taking in the Fall color, crisp air, good sleeping, and the sound of the Lake Michigan waves lapping at our door.
  



       We also found ourselves involved again in the progress of activities at Lake Bluff Bird Sanctuary in Manistee (http://www.michiganaudubon.org/lake-bluff-bird-sanctuary/) revisiting and enjoying the property and remembering....   
Daughter, Debbie, and her husband, Steve, live nearby now and Debbie is doing a yeoman's job of helping to restore Lake Bluff as a respected nature center of activity in Manistee.
