Just about Perfect Weekend!!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
         We have an "Up North Place" here in Michigan. 
   And we go just about every weekend. This time of year is deer hunting, so if "we" (DIL's & I )  want to spend time with our hubby's, we all go. 
    A Perfect Friday would include a ride up, hitting every Thrift Store along the way. And I wish that you could have been along for the ride.... The color here in MI. is SOOooo beautiful right now. 

  This is in the parking lot of the little grocery store I stopped at on the way .

                  Getting close..... 
   Did you know???  The more red the leaves, the more sugar in the sap...

                    (Husband & sons do Maple Syrup also )

                
                  Part of my drive ......

 

Seriously?  Who but God could have thought of/created those colors?

                                  
 
                   Then on Saturday afternoon 2 of my DIL'S & I took a drive to the little up north Michigan town of Onekama.... wine tasting our way there
                                                                                    

                                                       The Winery on the way

                
                                                      Lake Michigan from Winery

                                                                                  

 Then...don't know why, but I have no pics of the town that was having an Oktoberfest  ?????  But we did a little wine tasting there also...                
                  (I didn't do much... designated driver...... but that may explain no pics :)    75 & sunny, little art in the park, in a park on the lake.....    
          a little shopping, beautiful day, beautiful color all around
                                   
          Sunday afternoon included a little river fishing.....

                                               

                                                     
                                                         
                            A little lunch at the river ........ 

                         
    And then as the guys took back to the tree stands we did a little more picture taking..........    (view from our bedroom window )

                         
                              Underneath an old railroad bridge
                              

                                                   
               Then Carrie snapped a pic of Chuck & myself...
       (I never share pics of me...... this will be it... squinting & all :)

The only thing that would have made this weekend more perfect, was had our youngest son & wife been there....

 they live in Colorado, moved there to do a Church Plant.... BUT...... we are leaving in just 1 more day to visit.....

.........just a little of our life........
