I’m not exactly sure which season I like best, but right at the moment, fall is my favorite. People come to the peninsula in October to observe the autumn colors. I have been driving around with my camera for the last week or so in case there’s something I want to shoot, and I’ve been glad to have my camera along many times. Continue reading
Today I finally had a chance to read my emails and saw that I had received so many condolences from you all that I can’t respond to them individually. But I do want you to know that your thoughts and prayers mean a great deal to me. I am fortunate in the many friends I have!
This morning I was taking a shower and had just wrapped a towel around myself when Fred walked in with the phone and told me there was an important phone call for me. I took the phone and a man said, “Hello, Denise! I’m Officer Seigler from the King City Police.

Had we been there this year, Monday would have been our last day of work and we would have likely been heading out yesterday. All day Monday, I was thinking about my friends at Wagon Trail and wishing I could be with them at their staff party, but I’m not staff there anymore. Continue reading
You may recall that I gave Liuda her first driving lesson in July and then another one in August. It has been difficult to coordinate with her for driving lessons, especially since she has been sick for the last three weeks. She told me today that she has pneumonia. Continue reading
Some of the churches in Door County have banded together to help the foreign students that come here to work in the summer. The students don’t generally have a car and are unable to get around to places they might like to see and things they would enjoy doing. They generally live at their work site and that’s about all they get to see. The church program is called Bridges and they offer bi-weekly activities, English lessons, and they match the students up with Christian families who do things with them. Continue reading
