Spot the Dusty...

Our canine family member, Dusty, is certainly well-spoiled. Here she is perched up alongside the girls' stuffed animals, with pride of place on a large cushion. She is certainly well-loved. :)

Two Years...

Saturday, 5th July, marked two years since we moved to Michigan. We are so thankful for all the friendships and memories that we have made during our time in this beautiful state. :)

Indiana Trip... with Dusty!

We took another trip down to Indiana for another family wedding over the last weekend in June. And this time, we brought along Dusty - since our normal dogsitters were unable to look after her this time around. On the whole, she did really well on the long drives! 

It was good to catch up with family and friends in person, and to make time to visit some of our favourite places in Daviess County, Indiana. The wedding itself was lovely, and we left Daviess County feeling refreshed and with hearts full. 

We had a lovely meal with good friends in Washington.

Barrels of fun at Candace's parents' house.

We saw rainbows and sunny skies in Amish country.

Dusty had a couple of walks in Washington.

We browsed at the Farmer's Market.

The wedding was lovely.

Reception in the church hall.

Selfie with the ever-beautiful Candace.

Golf cart rides on quiet country roads.

We visited Summit Lake State Park on the drive home.

Dusty was quite well-camouflaged, blending into the trail!

The calm water of Summit Lake.

Stormy Cycle...

I dodged some thundershowers as I cycled under moody skies towards the end of June. :) The cloud cover created a lovely atmosphere - and it was quite nice since it wasn't too hot.

Heavy rain to the northeast.

Selfie on the road.

State Park Quilt Complete!

I mentioned the Indiana State Park quilt that Candace was working on in a recent post. Well, she has completed it and it looks amazing! I am in awe of how patient and detail-oriented my wife is when it comes to quilting, sewing, and any craft projects. :)

We even visited an Indiana State Park on a recent trip we took down to Indiana, and we captured the photo below at the entrance sign.
