Stehekin Weekend

We spent this past weekend in Stehekin at the head of Lake Chelan. Nick Glenn, our family friend and electrician, kindly allowed us to use his family cabin. The trip up on our boat Friday...well it...uh...ok it flat out sucked! 3-5 foot waves the whole way...45 miles, it took us almost three hours! We were well tenderized when we got there. We docked right in front of Mr. Nick's cabin, and the past 45 miles melted away, what a spot! Nick and his family have kept the cabin just as his grandparents had it (with a few modern upgrades). No TV, no cell phones, no radio. The kids did a lot of fishing, played card games...all without computers or TV. We went for walks, ate very well, fished some more, and generally relaxed. A big part of healing is relaxing, I think we got a good dose! We visited one of our favorite places, the Stehekin Bakery for breakfast each day. One of Sheri and my favorite parts was Nick let us use his truck up there, a 1949 Chev. Dude, I'm in love. It's ok, Sheri is too. What a great old truck, with a bench in the back for the kids. They didn't stop smiling as they rode along in her. The trip home came way too soon...the nice part, it was smooth the entire way. Today Sheri had a doctors appointment, it went well. Sheri is looking and feeling great. We are trying to take time to smell the roses in life. The roses just smell a little better in Stehekin, and so do the cinnamon rolls!

Looking up!

PS> We keep running into this verse: "Be still and know that I Am God." If you look close, the cross in the above picture has that carved in it....we've walked past it a dozen times, but didn't stop to read it until the day we left. Things that make you go Hum.
