Our dear friend, Joanie loved to say FABULOUS!!!
And that was the best way to describe this past weekend down at our river cottage, Kalmia. The air was cool and crisp, the autumn leaves resplendent in reds, yellows and bright oranges. They were shimmering in the light breeze against a brilliant blue sky.
Watching the boat traffic was so much fun, we saw jet skis, speed boats and pontoon boats full of families out enjoying the God's amazing handiwork! The Blue Moon tour came by with the loud speaker blaring and a paddle wheel showboat from Cincinnati chugged up stream lending to the carnival flavor of the setting.
On Saturday we loaded our Border Collie, Celeste and very large chocolate lab, Samson into the GG (Golden Gopher), our maroon and gold boat that reminds me of my alma mater, the University of Minnesota. There were no ooo's and ahhh's from our loyal companions, but lots of sniffing the wind. We were shocked to be buzzed by a small,private seaplane equipped with floats that was admiring the river canyon adorned in color.
On Sunday we celebrated Reformation Sunday in our morning worship service. A highlight every fall is singing loudly A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD by Martin Luther. What a blessing to know we have a strong shelter to run to in the storms of life.
You will not have to worry about sudden disasters,such as come to the wicked like a storm. The LORD will keep you safe." Prov.3:25-26
On Sunday, our dear friends and neighbors, the Jacobs joined us for lunch and another
boat ride. Another blessing we are thankful for is a long time friendship and beauty to be shared in a magnificent setting plus some ooo's and ahh's! It was a magnificent and FABULOUS weekend!
