If you seek a beautiful peninsula, look about you! Doreen Lawrence and Suzie Martin, lifelong Michiganders, are delighted to share photos and information about their favorite state in a daily format.
The beautiful old church of St Agatha in Gagetown was established in 1879, although this building was built much more recently. It appears the school and convent are closed but the church and cemetery are both very well maintained. St. Agatha is part of the Saginaw Diocese.
Monica was helping out at Fall Family Days which was taking place at the Thumb Octagon Barn Agricultural Museum when she was offered the chance to learn how to spin wool. She caught on quickly and became a demonstrator! Right outside the barn were a couple a beautiful alpacas from a local farm. We purchased a pair of socks made from the wool. They are supposed to keep your feet especially warm. There are numerous alpaca farms to visit in Michigan. Go get your own pair of socks or maybe a scarf, a hat or a sweater.
