Frankenmuth Michigan

We took a trip to Frankenmuth Michigan a couple of weeks ago for a mini vacation. I took some pictures and these turned out pretty good so I thought I would share. Click on them if you would like to see a larger image. Hope you like them!

In Memory Of

More to add to the post that I wrote yesterday. The family of the friend who died in the car accident last week has asked me to sing at his memorial service. This is a great honer. He was so well known in the area and a great guy. I will be happy to be part of the service that they are having for him. I'm sure also that the family wants everything to be just right and that adds to the meaning of it for me.

Just a few thoughts about my friend. He was so full of life. He loved sports and this is really when I spent the most time with him. I loved to play basketball and he did too. We would see each other at pick up games an have a great time. He was always the last one standing. He never seemed to run out of energy and would beg for people to stay for one more game when everyone else wanted to go home. I would also see him at the basketball games at the high school. He loved to watch them and was most always there when I was. He would have a ball arguing calls or critiquing the players. He will be missed greatly!

Things In Three

Well, they say that things happen in threes and it has proved true in the past couple of weeks. As I said in earlier posts my niece's father in law and the father of my best friend died in past couple of weeks. We actually attended the funeral of my best friend's Dad just today. On top of this we found out that a good friend died in an auto accident in South Dakota. This is the third thing and it was a shock to us all. We will be at the third funeral sometime this week and it will be very sad. The whole town was a friend to him and I am sure that there will be a huge turnout at his funeral.

Today someone said that we should make sure that we tell the ones we love how we feel about them now. Don't wait! We don't know for sure that tomorrow will come.
