]]> Comment on Good friends. Fishermen came to check the boats and then gathered around Rick weighing out the issues with the dock and the risk of heading to the ferry dock. I am always blessed to see these guys work together, one heading over to tie a line while being beaten by a wave, four of them down on their knees working to brace the boat with wenches. They are so brave and calm at the same time, working quickly as a team instinctively knowing what ropes and chains to get to solve the problem. Quite the group these men are! Love them all. by Mary Alice Freitag http://joyfulhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/30/good-friends-fishermen-came-to-check-the-boats-and-then-gathered-around-rick-weighing-out-the-issues-with-the-dock-and-the-risk-of-heading-to-the-ferry-dock-i-am-always-blessed-to-see-these-guys-w/#comment-148 Mary Alice Freitag Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:59:22 +0000 http://joyfulhouse.wordpress.com/?p=2090#comment-148 Joyce, My father Otis and his brother Warren Freitag were the original owners of the Freitag Bros tug. I have all of my father's fishing pictures from the 40's and 50's but rarely get to see current pictures or information on the boat. My uncle Warren would keep me updated since I am not in the area but since his passing I only see photos from the internet. Thank you for taking the time to blog about your lovely family. Sincerely, Mary Alice Freitag Joyce,

Glad all went well with the pipe, and the oatmeal, lol. I was wondering how your dad was doing. I'm so glad to hear that you got to go see him and that you had such a blessed time together and could be such a blessing to your mom as well. My, your blog has everything...drama, with the dock, and even a wedding. How lovely! I'm glad school is going well too! Can you believe it's already November? (Has winter hit Door County yet?) Don't worry about starting school late, we are only on week 8 of school ourselves - life just happens, but that certainly is a learning experience too. Visit when you can. Blessings, Jane Hi Joyce,

I have been so blessed by your writing and faith. I am so glad you went down and spent some time with your parents. To be sure, they do need their children around them as much as possible. I was fortunate to be the caregiver for my Mom and Dad for 3-4 years and the memories are so precious. Praise God; He knew what he was doing in creating a family unit. God bless all of you.

]]> Comment on Mighty winds. We have had gales winds for the last four days. On Monday Rick came running in the house saying that the dock was giving way to the waves. Annie and I bundled up and went down to the dock to see what was happening. The waves had collapsed the dock corner between two slips. The fear was that the dock could completely collapse on the boat, pinning it in the slip and damaging the side. Annie and I watched as the men discussed how best to back out into the waves to move the Freitag to the ferry boat landing about 1500 feet north on the shore. My stomach sickened as I heard them discuss timing the waves so backing into a wave would not roll the boat. After much discussion it was decided that the trip to the dock in 10-12 foot waves was not worth the risk. Better to let the boat be banged then risk lives. I was relieved even though they were still talking moving it in the night if the winds stilled. The life of being married to a Commercial Fisherman! I can see little Ruby Weborg shaking her head at the guys when they would head out into the waves. She would shrug her shoulders and say that we need to pray for them. We did indeed pray! Wisest words a Commercial Fisherman’s wife could share. by Joyce Glover http://joyfulhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/30/mighty-winds-we-have-had-gales-winds-for-the-last-four-days-on-monday-rick-came-running-in-the-house-saying-that-the-dock-was-giving-way-to-the-waves-annie-and-i-bundled-up-and-went-down-to-the/#comment-139 Joyce Glover Thu, 01 Oct 2009 21:38:36 +0000 http://joyfulhouse.wordpress.com/?p=2087#comment-139 I still bet you're glad you didn't marry an insurance salesman!!

After 48 years of marriage......wow. I've really enjoyed seeing the pictures of the wedding; after I read your to-do list, I immediately prayed for all of you! I've been meaning to call your Mom; you've all been on my mind. I ordered 3 of Guy's new CD;( get to give some away) The songs on it are so up-lifting, family oriented and thought provoking and great listening to. What a talent and what a wonderful family he and Angie have......kind of like your loving and talented family! Much love. That is so beautiful. After 48 years of marriage……wow.

I regularly check your blog, and do enjoy the photos, but also enjoy your "wisdom". Many times it is a perspective I need with all the things going on in my life. We are blessed when you make time for us, too! See you in Sept. We plan to be there on Friday evening, so if there is something we can do to help with the wedding, please let us know!
