All Things Home and Family
Typical morning at the cabin whenever the house is full. Elv cooking over the cookstove. Children bouncing off the walls. People having read time or journal time or "quiet" time. Breakfast coming right up. How do we all fit? We don't. So Amy, Brad, and Lance each find a place to put up a tent for… Continue reading More Summer Collages
The longest days of summer are here. Warm sun, thick, green canopy of the amazing leaves, and bare feet on mowed lawn. Flowers bloom in place of piles of snow. Perhaps flowers bloom because of piles of snow. Now there's a thought. We have had a few "rainy" days here: relationship issues… Continue reading Summertime Scribblings

Of course, the parents made them put on… Continue reading Easter Sunday Afternoon
