Sunday - Visiting with Sherwood!

On Sunday, we got up early and drove south to Benton Harbor, MI, where we had the most lovely visit with our dear family member, Sherwood.  We visited him at his family farm - a wonderful piece of land and the house where he grew up.

He took us on a tour of the farmhouse - complete with historic pictures of many generations of his family, amazing art work (Sherwood is an amazing artist), and a feeling of such warmth, love, and home that I could see why he was such an amazing person.  Places tend to carry the vibrations, feelings, and energy of those that frequent them as well as the activities performed there - this was no exception.  Growing up here certainly imparted much on him, the amazing person that he is.

We talked a lot about Roger and my dad, which is pretty great, because I don't necessarily get to do that with many people that knew my dad, now that he has been gone for so long.  We also checked in on the rest of our families and all of the goings on within them.

We then went to brunch at a wonderful bistro in St. Joseph, and sat outside overlooking Lake Michigan.  It was a beautiful day, and we were so sad to leave.

Too often when there are years between get-togethers, it gets easier and easier to not see the people that you love.  That is something that needs to be remedied.
