All Things Home and Family
Canoe rides and water play. The men enjoyed loading the red and white canoes on each their Jeeps. Elv and I took Clark's boat and perused the Billy Boy last week one evening. We found the yellow flags blooming.One of the beaver condos we pass. He caught one lonely fish, but pronounced the fishing a success since he hadn't… Continue reading Summertime
It is funny what you can do with a phone camera and Picasa. Now anyone can create a magazine worthy picture. Someday, Brad, when you are 35 and everything around you is too big a deal; just come back to this spot and do this again for an hour or two. All the big deals pull… Continue reading Reflections
All of our daughters are away from home just now, depending on each other as friends. Two of them are married with little ones of their own. This list is from my heart to our girls.

Psalm 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow… Continue reading Quiet Time Gleanings

Jenny has beautiful flowers all along the front of… Continue reading Summer Begins

Since I am illiterate about messing with HTML and all such mysterious machinery of web site building, I am confined to only what I can muster out of the few trite and/or wacky templates… Continue reading Blogger Blues
While my computer was down for cleaning and repairs, the flowers bloomed. It is my belief that flowers prove that God cares/values beauty in the little details as much as the useful, "important"things of life. I was chopping frozen cranberries the other day and discovered four perfect pockets inside of the berry. It is quite… Continue reading Trust
Especially for Jube, because he asked about them. Well it paid off wonderfully, to plant those bulbs while it was snowing last fall.Last fall when we planted them, I had high hopes for this show. Six months is a long time to wait for results, but well worth it.
