There was frost on the roof this morning. It was 27 degrees at the home of Jim and Jackie Rogers, north of the village. There are lots of blueberry blossoms in the blueberry fields around the area. Hopefully, the frost didn't blight them.

While driving down to the beach Sunday, I noticed a lone morel mushroom by the side of Brian and Jeannie Rose's driveway. I didn't pick it as I thought maybe next year there would be more, but I really think Brian should pick it and shake it under the apple trees.

Our old friend and former neighbor, Bernie Eisler, was in the area Sunday. He and his friend, Rosalie, stopped by to visit Owen and Barbara Jorgensen. Before leaving town they dropped by Jeannie's Reach and had a visit with Brian and Jeannie Rose.

Mike Jorgensen has been up periodically to work on the sailboat at the St. Ignace Marina.

Susie and Russ Nesberg attended the Mud Run at the Allenville fairgrounds Saturday, May 20. The Nesbergs sponsored a truck for the event. It sounds like an exciting sport to watch. The next one will be in July. Watch The St. Ignace News for further details.

Andy Movalson and his friend, Kevin, spent a few days at the Movalson cottage to do some serious fishing. They did hook a nice rainbow, which Uncle Dave promptly smoked.

Jerri Rose and I were delegates to the Northern Great Lakes Synod Convention at Finlandia University in Hancock Thursday, May 18, through Saturday, May 20. Approximately 300 delegates, pastors, council members, and visitors were there for the proceedings. The running of the church is a very time-consuming business, but our synod has very capable and talented people at the helm. Our new member of the synod council is Kirt Stage-Harvey. Congratulations, Kirt, and we wish you well on your new responsibilities.

It wasn't all work and no play, by which I mean there were seminars we could go to and, of course, we had to eat and we visited with old friends and new acquaintances. It was great to see Pastor Ingmar Levine of Manistique, Pastor Ernie Ness, Pastor John Magnuson, and Pastor George Kaiser. We sat with the delegates from Zion-Allenville, Gloria and Rick Weber, and the delegates from Cedarville, Bob and Charlene Holland. It was a long ride to Hancock, but well worth it. Jerri and I discovered we could be fortified with English Toffee latte. It's a good thing we had to negotiate the many steps to get to the various events so we could justify yet another sinfully delicious coffee concoction.

Jamica Diamond and Gary Revord have the old schoolhouse shop on Ozark Road (soon to be Schoolhouse Road) open for business. In whatever spare time she has, Jamica has been working with friends doing landscaping in and near Harbor Springs.

Enjoy Memorial Day. Hope it's warm, and not buggy. Think about our people in the military.
