throwback thursday | the bench

Since I’m sharing lots of location photos and quotes from the book this week, I thought it only fitting that I share a little throwback photo that is book related as well. This one was taken in August of 2005 on a little Mackinac Island getaway for our 10th wedding anniversary. And THIS BENCH is the one at the end of the book where a pretty important conversation takes place. Only it’s nighttime in that scene. But this is the exact bench I envisioned. Right across the street from the elementary school. Almost at the end of the boardwalk. Gosh, I love Mackinac Island.

I seem to have a thing for benches in my books, huh?
