March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

9-25-10 Rainy Saturday

After a later night we all slept in some, except Levi and Jesse who milked. Normal breakfast prep and other jobs, then Aunt Sarah and I went to The Skirt Outlet in Eureka and found a few nice skirts for me and the girls. Dad and the kids here worked in the shed and on the yard; the temperature dropped steadily so when ASK and I got home, all the girls and Ben were in the house. Dad and Jacob were doing errands in Morton, Jesse was weed-whacking, and Levi had gone to haul manure for Uncle Randy. ASK and I grabbed a quick walk before she went home; soon after that, the rain started…and it drizzled most of the afternoon. I blogged, read to girls, ironed, etc.: no big projects so it was pretty calm. During choretime, Dad and I did a few errands in Washington – one being a new store that has LOTS of nice, long, VERY reasonably priced skirts (new, meaning I just found out about it – actually it’s been there 5 years). We picked up Italian from Michael’s and came home and had supper. K.p., baths/showers, boys home, a dvd for kids while Dad & I paid bills and did banking, lots of toys out, Bibletime, beds. WONDERFUL day; thank You Lord Jesus for keeping us all safe and blessing us with good health. We are so blessed – hardly seems fair sometimes that we have so much and others have so little…and God keeps giving and giving and giving. He is SO GOOD.
