Summer is over.....on to Togo

Since returning from Zambia this Spring, we have had a wonderful time in Michigan !!!  One of our favorite activities has been caring for our 2 grandchildren most Fridays. We have had the opportunity to do many bike rides, mostly up at the Radecky cottage on beautiful Crystal Lake in northern Michigan. In early August, we joined 400 folks to bike along the west shoreline of Michigan over the course of a week - we always meet interesting people on bike trips !!

Now, we're in final packing preparation for our third trip to Togo beginning on Sept 22. We're looking forward to seeing and working with some old friends at Karolyn Kempton Memorial Hospital.  We hope to send an email every week or two and will link to this blog if there are new posts.  Thanks to everyone who is following along and especially those who are praying for us !!
