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

6-15-12 Hay Hay Hay

New truck? Not hardly…

Whew what a week. Makes my head spin to think about it, so I won’t.

But see, last night was the night to get the hay from U. Jerry’s hayfield by CIT. Well the truck quit and had to be towed to Mike’s Garage where it sits.

And the hay didn’t get got last night.

So Lucas let us borrow his truck to bring the hay home tonight because there’s a 40% chance of rain tomorrow…

who gave it to Jesse who gave it to Dad who gave it to Tori and Kate who shoved it into position. At 100+ pounds each bale, there’s not much else they could do with them.

Stars were beautiful, and we saw a few satellites too. Plus an airplane.

Awesome.

Josh was so quiet while we were stargazing; every little bit I’d ask him if he was awake. He usually said, “No!”

Sweet dreams, sweet ones!
