September 2025
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

11-23-10 Restmor Tuesday

We were glad for Misty and some of her children, and Dana and all of her children to help us sing at Restmor this morning; Dana and crew joined us for lunch afterwards and some fellowship time for all. Boys milked twice, studying in between; nothing abnormal there.  Aunt Joyce blessed us by coming to read after chores; on a cold sunny day the kids were happy to snuggle up with her and listen. Supper, Bibletime, playtime, got a few Christmas cards ready to go, made some lists for tomorrow, did some major and minor cleaning for tomorrow, and beds then for all.

Playing Killer Rabbit…sounds kind of violent, with rabbits facing various horrid deaths, such as being killed in the car compressor, boiled in tar, getting too close to the gardener’s hedge trimmer, rabbit road pizza, etc…but considering that most of the resident kids here get their thrills from trapping (or observing) other such rodents in various foot traps, kill traps, etc., it’s really not that strange that said kids enjoyed this game immensely. I guess a rodent is a rodent no matter if real or in a game. Wonder who thinks up such a game…probably some avid gardener who has lost many a vegetable to a marauding malevolent menace!
