| I do not know how many times over the years we have went by this sign. It is just past Gaylord, MI. I finally remembered to have my camera ready and snapped a picture. |

On Sunday we went to mass at St. Margaret's Catholic Church the parish they belong to. It is a beautiful church and is certainly family oriented. At their 10 o'clock mass they have a nursery for the little ones and a Catechism class for pre-school and kindergarten age children. Plus, they have a children's liturgy of the word during mass for the younger children.

It's about time.
It is fun watching them grow up. The problem is it is happening way to fast.
DeleteI remember crossing that bridge a few times years ago. Such a wonderful area to explore. Gotta love spending time with the grands.
ReplyDeleteWe do enjoy spending time with our grandkids.
DeleteIt is a great area to explore. I remember when my parents took us to see the Mackinac Bridge when it first opened.
Love the pics of Jonah and Nathaniel. Such cuties!
ReplyDeleteYour fall leaves pictures are very nice too.
Glad you pointed to the bridge, I would have missed that first sighting.
Interesting sign of the 45th Parallel!
Thank you.
DeleteYears ago it was about who had the first sighting. I had not taken that particular picture in awhile...:)
