Steeplechasin"

I believe this is the Presbyterian Church in Hastings, MI. It was hard to get a good picture of it from the car as there were trees surrounding it. The steeple can be seen for a couple miles away.

We had a busy day yesterday. We went to our Zumba class. The class was videotaped for Survivor's awareness for cancer, abuse and all surivors. Most of us were dressed in pink. It's supposed to be on Yutube.

We painted the front steps with redwood stain. Of course, we got paint all over us even though we wore old clothes and rubber gloves. The paint managed to get on our wrists between the shirt and gloves.

After we cleaned up, we took a drive to Elk Neck State Park. It is on a peninsula between the Susquhanna River and the Elk River at the head of the Chesapeake Bay. It is south of the town, Northeast, MD, another waterfront town with an historic downtown and marinas. We'll have to visit there sometime. At the tip of Elk Neck is a lighthouse.about one and a half miles along a stoney path. Most people walked in the grass next to the path. We were on the path for awhile but it was hilly and I almost slipped as the stones rolled under my feet. We too, walked in the grass.

The lighthouse sat atop a sharp cliff. There was a hundred foot drop at the edge that was almost straight down. It made me quizzy to look down. Across the Elk River side was the community of Crystal Beach. I have cousins who live there. It was a gray cloudy day. The lighthouse was not open. I think it closed at the end of the summer. The park has camping facilities and a beach for swimming.

As I always comment, I really really love the steeples and barns. The picture of the church in Hastings is where my daughter-in-law Wendy works each day in the pre-school program. All three of our grandchildren that live in Hastings (Maxwell, Christy and Graham) went to preschool there too. We have visited there when it would be grandparent's day.

I love to hear about your day trips. Very interesting things to do. I'll bet Erin is enjoying getting familiar with the areas and all the interesting places and things to do. We'e having a gorgeous Sunday. We had baptisms and new members programs this morning at church. And, of course, our beloved Pastor preached a very wonderful sermon too. And, the music was so lovely. We just truly love our church and all it offers.

Keep having lots of fun. Ruth
