Home at last!
Last night, our motel room was so bad that after lights out Kader and I were still giggling about it! This morning…

As I write this, Mark and I are going through Sturgeon Bay on our way out of Door County. I didn’t have a chance to write last night because we were so busy trying to get ready to leave, but I did want to mention one thing before we land somewhere tonight.

…Mark gets a chance to wear a Viking hat! This was a picture and story I forgot to tell on Sunday but thought you might enjoy. We went to Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant (the one with the goats on the roof!) in Sister Bay for lunch after church, and while we were waiting to get a table, we went into their boutique to see what wonderful things they had.

Time with the kids
Mark took me to work this morning at the Noble House and then he went and picked Merih up for some guy time. Mark has been working on Merih’s car for at least the last couple of weeks, and it was hoped that with Merih’s help, they might be able to finish, but this car is not so easy to fix. However, Mark thinks that they should be able to have it driveable by next Tuesday. Merih is certainly hoping so! Continue reading
