We watched the movie And They Shall Ask with M&M this morning, a sobering account of our Mennonite ancestors’ tumultuous history from Sweden to Russia and then on to various points around the world.  We are truly blessed to be on this side of those atrocities.

A warm and difficult good bye…it has been 3 long years since we last saw M&M, so much has happened. We are thrilled to see Marlyss’ hair growing back in with all those curls and to hear that she’s back at work, almost full time.  Their relationship has flourished and we thank God for their four precious years of marriage.  

And east we go towards Thunder Bay. The highway is in excellent condition and is surprisingly quiet.  Once in a while we can see the lakes we are driving past, but for the most part the drive is reminiscent of the highway to Grande Cache, with heavy forest and outcrops of rock.

Just before Thunder Bay we stopped at Kakabeka Falls-a beautiful set of waterfalls.

We booked into Sleeping Giant provincial campground.  It’s further off the highway than I thought, but it’s very nice.  We enjoyed stargazing and watching for satellites in the night sky.
