July 4th

Author: Ruth

The First Edition, Too; a well stocked book we stumbled upon near Brevort Lake.

I met Stephen forĀ  the 4th of July at the beach under the Cut River Bridge, an engineering achievement that reminded us both of bridges along the Pacific Coast, not needed much on Michigan shores.

We also found a unusually well-stocked bookstore which held a great selection of historical books, first editions, and other interesting treasures. He had been thinking of voyageurs every day, who traveled this coast in their huge canoes with crews of 8 or more, with heavy loads, and in all weathers.

Too soon it was time to say good bye and I left him on the beach where we met, more storms approaching.

    Hi Ruth (and Steve),
    I didn’t realize that 4 weeks had already passed since you left on your trip.
    Your FaceBook news article just showed up on my page, so I navigated over here.
    Ruth is doing an excellent job as “author” and I enjoy reading her narrative. So far, I have spotted only one error in grammar (disagreement of article and noun).
    Simply, excellent writing, Ruth!
    Love,
    Dad
