All Things Home and Family
This post will be disconnected, busy, and hardly coherent...just like our days/world/life right now. I have just spent a week in the company of my two parents traveling to Barb's funeral in Michigan... and back, also having them here at home with us till this morning. It's a long 12 hours to Newago, MI! It's… Continue reading A Week of Events
We have been reminded of that again this week. Aunt Barb went to glory after a short illness with her second bout of cancer. Elv and I dream of the future like any other couple: being out of debt, going into service for CAM, having a cabin in the woods to come home to,… Continue reading Life Is Short…

The household got up at 7:30 this morning and we were all thrown into a flurry of preparing for the wedding. Amber's hem, a forgotten sleeve, some lace, and elastic work all fell into place. Oops, Hannah forgot her serving frock, so I dug out a substitute and installed a new zipper for that. White… Continue reading Melinda’s Wedding…My Version
