We have perfect weather here today for a day down at the lake, but what I saw there yesterday made me decide to spend the day on my balcony instead... crowded beaches, camping sites full up, lots and lots of lovely fellow humans competing for the most extensive sunburn, not to mention other medical issues. Quarantine and lockdown made me forget how many of these people exist 😅

Have a happy weekend everybody 😎

There's a place that I know where they all know me

I gotta get back now to the ones who love me

Wrap myself around you, never let you go

There's nothin' in the world that feels like

Brighton Methodist Church

Built in 1881 by Norwegian immigrants, Brighton Methodist Church, the small country chapel shown here, cost $1,800 to build - a fortune at the time.

Rural churches were an important social part of family life in the 1880s. On Sunday, the family would dress in their Sunday best clothes for the church service and social gathering that followed the services.

This was often viewed as an opportunity to escape the hard work and isolation of farm life.

As soon as a settlement was established, the local families would join together to build a church for their community.

Many of the churches had strong ethnic and cultural ties to the specific nationality of the settlement. It was not uncommon to hear a sermon in German, Norwegian, or Swedish instead of English.

After the church closed in 1984, it was donated to Farmamerica by the congregation.

Cedar Lutheran Church has been closed for years but remains well maintained and free of vandalism.

Sliders Sunday

Kicking off a 10-day stay--cation with my guy. On our way home from work we stopped at the Country Farm. They had rows and rows of flowers where brides come and pick for their wedding. Since next week is our 30-year wedding anniversary, we took time to harvest several bouquets.

Thank you so much for your visits! Have a lovely day:)
