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

10-3-12 Ted’s Adventure

by Ben

One day Ted and his friends Ed, Fred, and Ned were walking through the woods of Montana when they came to a mountain stream.  There were some trout in it.  “Perfect,” said Ed. “This is why I brought my fishing rod.” He caught some trout.  Ned had some matches, so he started a fire and cooked the fish.  Then the boys ate them.

They kept walking until they came to a canyon.  The boys climbed down into the canyon.  There was a stream. The boys walked upstream. Soon there was a waterfall.  “Let’s climb to the top,” Fred said.  So up they went.  The waterfall was only 25 feet so they jumped into the pool of water below.  They did it three more times.

“Jumping off waterfalls is fun,” Ted said. They climbed back up the side of the canyon.  They sat on a rock until their clothes dried.

“Let’s go home,” Ed said.

“I think we’re lost,” Ned said.

Fred climbed to the top of a tree.  “Home is that way,” he said, pointing to the west.  They started for home. They ate some cooked fish. Soon they were home.

“That was fun,” Fred said.

They all agreed.
