July 2011</strong></p> <p>To sum it up: </p> <p>Famous blueberry pancakes, the unsalted Lake Michigan in all its glory, an out-of-this world lightning storm across the water, sunburn, campfires, new nicknames, nightly ice cream outings, laughter, familiar stories, new stories, and the wonderful company of far-away friends.  What a really amazing reunion should be all about.  I’m thinking it should become a tradition that happens a little more often.  </p>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703967458http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703967458Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:51:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqwboh8AMp1qeo7cno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703957465http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703957465Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:50:40 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqwbn7uC8P1qeo7cno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703943725http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703943725Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:49:54 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqwbm0rSrK1qeo7cno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703930926http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703930926Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:49:11 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqwbjsmFhL1qeo7cno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703906670http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703906670Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:47:51 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqwbgzPlo01qeo7cno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703875943http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703875943Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:46:10 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqwbg3n5ou1qeo7cno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703865628http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703865628Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:45:38 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqwbf3h1zG1qeo7cno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703854988http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/9703854988Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:45:02 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp5u963i2Y1qeo7cno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Several weeks ago, miss Lydia and I took a lovely, sunshiny afternoon stroll to visit an abandoned church, only a few blocks from our home.  For the past two years, I have admired the spires of the church’s double steeples from our kitchen window but hadn’t taken the opportunity to get a closer look.  The church itself is over 150 years old, no longer in use and in serious disrepair — but the sheer magnitude and beauty of the structure is still alive and well.  It is amazing to me that this little, humble city is home to such beautiful slices of the past, however crumbling or unnoticed they may be. </p>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/8265769939http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/8265769939Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:03:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp5u7vq85i1qeo7cno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/8265744253http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/8265744253Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:02:18 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp5u6lSq2I1qeo7cno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/8265717664http://alisonjanewinters.tumblr.com/post/8265717664Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:01:32 -0400
