Glen Arbor

It seemed like ages ago that we ventured up to Glen Arbor for a long weekend. And the catch up that happened with our sleep quickly vanished upon our return, but it was a wonderful, beautiful, restful kind of weekend, full of complete conversations, quiet evenings and meals, soaks in the big tub, and shopping for hours at a time. The whole weekend was full of sunshine and fall colors. Our condo was up so high and on the side of a hill that when you looked out the windows, we were level with the tree tops. It was the cutest, cleanest condo.

It was so good to see my step-brother and step-sister. I am so proud of my step-brother. He always seems to have such a good head on his shoulders. It was great that i was able to watch him get married.

We rode the chairlifts up to the ceremony and so did the bride. It was beautiful. The ceremony was at the top of the ski hill overlooking Lake Michigan.





The Lodge was absolutely warm and inviting with flickering candlelight and beautiful center pieces of fall colored roses in pumpkins. TJ and i were a little surpised that we sat at table number 1 with Mike's mom, my step-sister and her husband and Mike's step-dad, but i realized that we are family and Mike doesn't have many family members on his side. George didn't come.



Married!
Back at the condo. . . i should have combed my hair before this picture!Loved, loved, loved this!


We were out and about in Traverse all day. It was FANTASTIC! This is at the Green House Cafe. Basically we ate early so we could eat a late, big dinner at Poppycocks! We like our food!
A big thank you to Lori and Gail for watching the girls and making so many memories with them. We were totally at peace knowing our girls were getting taken care of so well.
