Mennonite Girls Having Fun


Morning coffee with my guests...the prairie girls Betty and Charlotte.

We received a warm welcome on Judy's front porch.

The table settings along with name tags were a cheery welcome for our morning brunch.

We did feel welcome! It was all so beautiful!

Judy put on a real spread!

Food, friends and fellowship.

After brunch Bev and her husband Harv treated us to a mini cruise on beautiful Harrison.

A little beach stop...Anneliese and Betty had some fun on a rope swing....

and we stopped to take a group shot....one of many!

Marg and I served a light snack.


Enjoying girlfriend time while relaxing and taking in the beauty of God's creation.

The Harrison Hotel in the distance as we headed back to shore.
What a treat this was!


Bev's lovely yard and pond.


On the patio I spotted the zucchini blossoms that Bev picked up at Lepp Farm Market yesterday.
They were so pretty and delicious.

Bev in her kitchen.

Fresh!

Sharing a meal and our hearts.
Bev had chosen a scripture verse for each of us which was printed on the inside of the beautiful place cards she had made. Tears came freely as we went around the table and read each verse....each one so fitting for our personal lives.

Our last stop of the day was at Marg's home, where we gathered around her beautiful island,
and found comfy spots to sit and relax.

Marg's home turned into a quiet spa retreat for the evening.

She served us fresh blackberries picked today by her daughter....


...as well as her wonderful Hazelnut Torte.


The sunset was beautiful as our day came to a close.

We are heading out for another great day.
Tomorrow morning Anneliese will tell you all about it.

    Each kitchen was gorgeous and the only thing that could improve on their beauty and style was the addition of wonderful friends. Thanks for letting us join in the fun (without the additional calories-oh my!)
