In August we spent another wonderful week on Mackinac Island at Meta Mura with the
Saxen-Puttkammers and Cordie and Charlie Puttkammer. The weather was beautiful and it was a joy to see Maggie keeping up with the older boys on her bicycle with gusto and determination and sometimes at full speed in partial control going down main street...and always smiling...Rosey and Ringo our neighborhood horses can almost smell Maggie approaching daily with delicious apples in hand...
The ferry ride with Lulu...
The Ferry ride after a day-long drive from Minneapolis -- our trip started at 5 am with Maggie still in her pajamas and her first words were "Are we there yet" -- and we were still in St.Paul !? We made the 5:30 pm Ferry at St.Ignace that afternoon....
