High temperature today was 86. We sat outside a lot and with the breeze off the water is wasn't uncomfortable. We haven't needed the AC for nearly week, nor the furnace. Between the breeze and the sun I've managed a sunburn on my head and legs, not bad, just a little uncomfortable.
This morning we went to the E-Free church in Sault Ste Marie, not sure what the name stands for. They have 9:00 & 10:30 services in SSM and a single service at a campus in Gaylord, MI (about 100 miles south of here). Both Kathy and I felt the Spirit moving during the service. Even though it was contemporary Christian music I enjoyed most of it. The Pastor had a good message. The only negative was that not one of the approximately 100 in attendance introduced themselves. The only person who shook my hand was the guy who I asked about the offering plate after the service. (They don't even mention an offering during the service. There is an unlabeled box on the wall by the door.)
Freighter traffic was busy this morning, but then nothing all day until right now I'm watching one approach the locks. I did get to see an interesting sight this morning as two freighters passed one another out in front of us.
As we have talked to our neighbors, at the campground, and others out walking, the number of them who come here for extended periods of time every year is amazing. The guy on one side of us has been coming nearly every summer for nearly 20 years. Some folks spend their entire summer here. Many are from lower Michigan but one guy is from Arizona. He lives in AZ about 7 months a year and travels during the hot months. He comes here every year for several weeks, or longer.
One reason this surprises me is that the sites don't have sewer hookups, just water and 30/50 amp. Some people have the little tanks on wheels to cart waste water up to the dump station as needed, others just drive up to the dump station once a week and dump their tanks. The men's rest room & shower area has been clean each time I've went in it to shower. Its adequate, but nothing special.
This is Sunday night and some of the tent camping spots are empty but almost every RV site is full.
It's 11:30 and the outside temp is down into the 60's. Inside the coach, with the windows and vents are still open, it is down to 72. I will close most of them when I go to bed.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
