Happy New Year!

Michael and I are getting old!

He threw out his back, so is not standing straight.

After six days, I still feel the effects of that nasty flu.
Whatever happened to the 24 hour flu?

When we were young, we got over this quickly.
Now we are old and it takes longer. Grrr!

We look forward to going home and becoming vegetables tonight and tomorrow.

We will be all better and ready to go back to work on Friday.

We look forward to many wonderful changes in 2009. We will keep you updated.

Have a safe and happy New Year's Eve celebration!

What's New

Christmas Eve services were wonderful at Bay Pointe Community Church. Over 2400 people braved the blizzards to attend.

Michael made me the best Christmas dinner and I spent a few hours splitting wood (my favorite exercise). We had a great day.

The past three days have been much different. I got the flu! It was awful! I have been home for three days and could easily stay home for three more. I hope NO ONE catches this. I do not know where I got it, but it was the worst flu I have ever had.

Let's hope the next update will be healthy!

Christmas Eve

Michael and I just arrived from an overnight stay in Jackson.

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with my family last night, then headed back this morning. The roads were terrible both ways and there were lots of accidents, but God protected us and we made it home safe.

Just another reminder that you are invited to join us for Christmas Eve services at Bay Pointe Community Church. Services will be at 1:00, 3:00, 5:00 and 7:00 PM. Michael will be baking for the worship team and we will both greet at all services. Pastor Nick has a special message planned and the music is always wonderful. Come alone, come with family, come with friends, come join us! We look forward to seeing you there.

Merry Christmas!

Ho, Ho, Ho, Snow, Snow, Snow

Mike and Heather and Alec visited us from downstate and had a great family portrait session.

We shipped their images yesterday.

The massive amounts of snow stopped the delivery today.

They leave early Saturday morning for Florida.

The package is scheduled to arrive later on Saturday.

Since their Christmas gifts were in that package, they will not be able to deliver the gifts.

We have the next best thing.

Their families will get to see what they were supposed to get for Christmas.

Their families will see a very handsome family and a GQ little man.

Merry Christmas to the Lossing family.

Safe travels! Enjoy the Florida sun while we get another blizzard on Sunday!

Merry Christmas

I am wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
I am not saying Happy Holidays.

I am saying Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Like last year, we are also inviting you, your family and your friends to join us for Christmas Eve services at Bay Pointe Community Church. This year, they are adding one more service, so there will be a total of four services available - 1:00, 3:00, 5:00 and 7:00 PM. There will be child care at all services, so please join us! Michael and I will be there for all four services. We will be greeting, so would love to give you a great big Bay Pointe welcome!

Also, Creekside Grains and Classic Gallery are having a special!

Buy any Creekside Grains mix (or mixes) or Christmas basket and the amount of your purchase will be credited toward a portrait session at Classic Gallery. The more Creekside Grains products that you purchase, the more money you will save on your session!

Please call ahead, to make sure that we are available and the mix is in stock.
Michael may also have a sample for you!

Michael will be at Sweet Asylum on Friday, to join in the Village at Grand Traverse Commons Christmas Open House. He will be sampling some of Creekside Grains most popular cookies. If you have not had a root beer cookie or a mega mint chocolate cookie, you are in for a treat!
Stop in and say hello!

So much is going on and so much snow! What a wonderful season!
