This morning we went to the Friends church in Sturgeon Bay that we had gone to whenever we had a chance last summer. This is the church where The Old Rugged Cross was first performed at a revival meeting. They have a monument to that effect beside the church building.
“Church of The Old Rugged Cross”
I had always wanted to take pictures inside the church last summer but was kind of shy about it. Not this year!
This piano is an antique that needs a lot of restoration, but the piano is like the Stradivarius of pianos. The church has been trying to raise money to get it repaired.
The pastor doing children’s time. She’s very good with the kids.
We walked in during singing and sat in our old pew, and when the pastor saw us from up front she smiled and said she was so happy to see us again. Afterward she told us that today is her birthday and we were her presents!
We had kind of intended to get some groceries while we were in “the big city” and come home, but we had our cameras with us and, well… we kind of got distracted. First we stopped in at an antique store Mark had wanted to go in last summer. Then we were going to drive home, but…
As we drove by the Door County Trolley station in Fish Creek, I noticed the the red tulips matched the trolleys and I had to stop!
Then we stopped at the Wood Orchard Market to see what tasty samples they had today. It’s a neat place with all sorts of pretty things as well as yummy things!
And this barn is next door to the Wood Orchard Market. Last summer I heard of Jorn’s Sugarbush, but we never went. Maybe this summer we can.
We stopped at the marina in Sister Bay. Sister Bay is on the Green Bay side of the peninsula.
This is how they lift the yachts and other big boats into and out of the water.
The boats are in dock, but it’s too cold to sail!
Doesn’t my handsome husband look like a model?
We took a road we’d never been on before and ended up at one of the Liberty Grove city parks in Rowley’s Bay. It was quite windy on Lake Michigan today.
NO!
