st. mary’s catholic church, port washington, wi

This is the first of three images of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Port Washington, WI. We paid our first visit to this beautiful lakeside community a couple of months ago where this church majestically watches over the town from its hilltop location.

fall is great

This was taken during our annual staff advance at Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin. We had a great two days of training, planning, and dreaming. I work with a fantastic team of friends who are also my colleagues. Late October in Wisconsin can be cold, rainy, and harsh, but this day was an absolute gift!

Like many of you, I struggle to parallel park my car, so, I can’t imagine guiding these long behemoths along the Illinois River!

South Haven, Michigan is….well…..for me it’s a haven for the memories that I have left there… I like to think that old lighthouse keeps those memories safe… each time I return I find them there…. I like that…

Dear Summer… I am dreaming of you and can’t wait to see you again.

If you join me on a 30 minute motorcycle ride we will arrive at a large wind farm that I like to visit. I am not quite sure why I find these large pinwheels to fascinating, but I do.

Taken last summer in hopes that we will eventually have a summer! I will be off the grid this week. Going on a spiritual retreat with my wife. Have a wonderful week!

Winter marches on… but that’s not to say that we have not had some beautiful days. This bitterly cold day was filled with gleaming, white sunshine, and the beauty of the Illinois River at Marseilles.
