Together in Michigan

Dear Sisters,


On October 18, 2008 Mrs. Mac posted what was to become an extension of our families...the first official Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarf post. We would each take a turn with a simple scarf which we would write about and then send on to another sister. Can you believe we are approaching our third anniversary?

We now cross international borders and have a following of folks who visit our "home", the Sisterhood blog,inspiration, prayer and a glimpse into the simple lives of women who simply love God and have become sisters of the heart. We have shared much, our first common loss...our sweet Arlene who has now gone on to be with Jesus. We've shared graduations, births, family celebrations and tears together. Our biological families all know exactly who we are talking about when we mention the Scarf Sisters.

Last year some of the sisters were blessed to spend time in one another's presence when we gathered at the home of Mrs. Mac for a few days of fellowship and the chance to finally hug and talk face to face. Those unable to attend were left waiting for the next chance we might have for another sister's reunion.

I am excited to invite you to just that next sister's reunion this Autumn in Michigan (I will also be sending an Evite to your mailbox).  Our home base will be my cottage in Lewiston. Because the cottage itself is small, I will provide information for local hotel accommodations. I'll be sharing a working itinerary of possible activities for those so inclined and for those homebodies (which many of us seem to be!), the cottage will be the hub for simple meals, laughter and evening campfires. 

Please let me know if you are interested in joining us as we celebrate the blessing of the Scarf Sisters under the mantle of Michigan's Autumn colors in the northern lower peninsula. For a little taste of Michigan, you can click on this link:

Whether you will be able to join us or will simply attend in spirit, may you always know that you have sisters who love you and who count it our privilege to be a part of your family.
