I am a creative spirit, an old soul and an instigator. My introverted tendencies instigate me to actively seek and explore outside of my comfort zone. It defines me... My favorite joy's are twofold: to create something from nothing....and to look at what is...seeing what could be. I call it creative instigation.
Our Twelve Day Christmas Journey: Day Four
On our fourth day of Christmas the weather is not cooperating. We pull out our rain gear and decide to poke around the park. Entering Empire I have a flash back to 5th grade as we pass by the old school. 
I did not actually go to school in this facility, but right behind was a tiny building that housed my 5th grade class. We called it the chicken coop; it is no longer there.
Driving across the Narrows (Big Glen on the left, Little Glen on the right) We had an interesting sighting.
It was just bouncing around in the middle of Little Glen. Go figure.
We drove to Lake Michigan off Port Oneida road, disappointingly we found no beach. This was concerning. Next stop; Good Harbor.
There, we found a walkable beach only because there was no wind or waves. The impact of increased water levels was everywhere. The picture on the right shows a 3′ cliff etched into the beach grass caused from days of heavy waves. Still in the bay was anchored the ship that we spotted yesterday near Whale Back
. Today it was on the other side of the Bay. We walk to the point and on our return the day began to turn into evening.
As the sun’s rays fell through the clouds and onto the water, diamonds began to glisten on its surface. It was beautiful; the earth was silent in peace.

Our Twelve Day Christmas Journey- Day Three
On our third day of Christmas with the “flip” of a lid, Cantricks.com’s Leelanau office is open for business.
Historically the auto industry is slow this time of year. I am hopeful that its history will not disappoint me.
Noon arrives; into the Chariot through the woods and off to lunch we go.
Making our way into Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore we decide to dine at my favorite childhood “watering hole”.
Over the years this little establishment has become a Park destination highlight. Can’t help but wonder why… 
Unfortunately, no sighting of Tim.
We make our way to Lake Michigan Drive seeking the peace of the beach. The sky is gray. The air is damp; little snow surrounding. I begin to fret, without snow how will Santa find me?
