God is Light

Just a little picture from my recent yurting trip. I just love the simplicity of the barn and the simplicity of the statement. God really is light!

1st John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and decalre to you: God
is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

Newsweek Top High School

Hi Everyone - I was excited to see that Berkley High Made it in the list of the top 1300 schools in the nation according to Newsweek. Here's the article!

I told you it fits!

A quick trip to Lowe's today got a little out of control. I started buying the soil amendments that will be mixed in with the compost I have been making all winter. Poor Carrie had to squeeze into the front seat with the new pots. It was a tight squeeze in my little car. But like I said - I knew it would fit!!

Motherly Love

Brand new baby robins being fed by mom. She watched carefully over her 3 wee ones.

They've Made It!

Hi Everyone,
Just thought you might want to know that mom and dad made it to Japan safely. I heard from them early this morning.

Mom will be updating her blog regularly to tell about their adventures. Click here to see her first entry.

Eastern Market

I had a wonderful trip to the Eastern Market with my friends Susie and Carrie.











We saw so many beautiful flowers.









We visited my favorite spice & tea shop: Rafal Spices. It has been around for almost 50 years in Detroit.







A few steps away we indulged in some delicious candy from Rocky Mountain Peanut Company. They have a candy, nuts, dried fruits, and specialty foods. I saw a nice variety of South African Teas which I really enjoy (Rooibos and Honeybush are my favorites). I tried Goji berries which are full of antioxidants. They taste just like tea. The fresh dates looked amazing. The next time I make dates and goat cheese I would like to get the giant dates from Rocky's.








Then a quick trip into R, Hirt Jr. Company just to smell the cheese. Mmmm. They also have a beautiful assortment of garden pots and planters.








Then what a blast to see my "vegetarian" friend order a 1/2 slab of ribs!










All in all - A wonderful Day!

Graduation

Hi All,

We had a great day today with Lindsey graduating from Northern! Yeah!!!!!!!!!! We had a nice lunch at our house afterward to celebrate. I wish all of you could have been there too. Now she has to start looking for a job. She has had an interview with a charter school in the Phoenix area. Lindsey has some friends that are teaching there. She isn't sure if she wants to go that far away but it might be a good experience for her. For right now she will be subbing and working at Menards.

We are looking forward to seeing those of you who will be visiting Memorial Day weekend.

Pete and I got Tiger tickets for July 10th game. It is a little trip to celebrate our 30the anniversary. We are looking forward seeing the stadium.

I've tried to figure out the picture thing but I get stumped. Unless you do it often you just forget. I will keep trying though.

Love to all from the Cains
