Update from Connie and Ron


by Connie, via Keith

After leaving Cedar Rapids, Iowa and visiting with Keith & Pat (web lessons included) we stopped in Shawano, Wisconsin to visit with Carol and Jerry Bieglow. 

We arrived in Cedarville, Michigan on July 1st. We're in the Cedarville RV Park which is on the northern shores of Lake Huron called Les Cheneaux Islands.  Our motorhome is on the water so we enjoy sitting at the picnic table in the mornings and watch the passing ducks, geese and swans. 

Joe and Carolyn Eger are here (they found the spot for us) and we've visited with them several times. They took us out on their boat and we traveled around the islands. To completely understand the area up here, you have to have the "water" perspective. 

We've been to Saul Saint Marie and watched the freighters pass through the locks. Some of the freighters are 1000 ft long. They just barely fit into the locks and to watch them raise or get lowered is just fascinating!

 We've been over to Mackinaw Island, which is a trip that we had planned for over 20 years.  We took the carriage ride and stopped at the butterfly pavilion. Loved it! Got some good pictures! (Look for them on future cards.) Ron had a butterfly even land on his chin. Yep, got a picture of that. There aren't any motorized vehichles on the Island, but there's still lots of traffic. Between the bicycles and the carriages, it's still hard to navigate the streets. Learned that you have to look for the "good" stores that sold stuff that wasn't made in China.
 
My job here was to get the lessons learned from Keith (my webmaster) and get the website ready to launch. I didn't know the learning curve would be so BIG! But it has been a labor of love and a lesson in patience. So, finally mission accomplished.  The site, www.godsglorygreetingcards.com is now available.  There's still things to "tweek" and things to fix. (It's not good to put a perfectionist in charge of her own website.) Feedback would be appreciated. 

I've up'd the price of the cards on the website, but it's still the same to all my Rockport friends who have supported me so much in this endeaver. You just need to email or call me. New cards are ready to be posted already and I'll do that soon. Will keep you updated!
 
Love from Connie & Ron
