We enjoyed our day with Galen and Julie...
First... we got to examine their beautiful mantel over their fireplace... a custom carved piece specifically for their family:
 |
| It starts with illustrating the woods and some of the woodland creatures (bear)... |
 |
| ... continues on to display the garage with its upstairs apartment... |
 |
| ... the house with "Carl and Patti" up on the deck, and Julie walking their dog down below... |
 |
| ... front of the house... |
 |
| ... on around to Phil (their son) on the wave runner... |
 |
| ... and Stacey (their daughter) and "Dad" in the fishing boat with a duck overhead... |
 |
| ... and ends with Galen hunting a deer (elk?) on the far right... |
 |
| ... showing the end of the carving. |
Then, each end has family tree...
 |
| Galen's family -- including his Mom, Reeva Larrabee (sister to Carl's Mom, Verna), and Linette (and Nick) Lee, whom I first met when we visited them in Ohio last year (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2020/07/and-even-more-visiting.html). |
 |
| ... and Julie's family on the other end piece. |
 |
| Later in the morning, we headed out in the pontoon boat for a tour of Birch Lake. |
 |
| We were having a good time with our great tour guides, Galen and Julie! |
 |
| Selfie on the boat. |
 |
| Gracie (their dog) enjoyed the trip too! |
 |
| Coming back to their dock |
