I Love the feelings and memories this blog awakens in me, of days when hearts were young and adventure was a part of the life and love we shared; Canoeing the Au Sable river and the lakes and marshes of Algonquin Park in Ontario, and dream we had of Quetico Provincial Park which never did materialize as we eventually became avid stewards of the Land in later years. But small adventures like the Crystal River and the Platte kept those other adventures alive for us; As the life of the Harlen Hubbards must have given Wendell Berry the Kentucky and Ohio rivers connection to his own agrarian life. <br />Water was the dream that brought us to Northport in 1948, and made Leelanau our eventual goal.<br />Thanks Pamela, for your wonderful stories.<br />JuliaJulia Brabenecnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-59182560329984836412016-10-01T07:19:47.163-07:002016-10-01T07:19:47.163-07:00I thank all of you for not only visiting and readi...I thank all of you for not only visiting and reading but also leaving responses for me. Dawn, I recall some of your posts along the river, remembering your parents (lovely!), though I guess it's fairer to say that David and I began our romance over coffee and books. Also cigarettes, which we both dropped, finally, along the way.P. J.
