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

6-26-15 Picnic

Once again, sandwiched in between lots of rainy days, we were blessed with a beautiful sunshiney afternoon for a picnic after our monthly Restmor Singing.

Wednesday after hitting a few garage sales in Morton, we did up a bushel of drops since it was rainy anyway. Imagine that.

More rain yesterday AM, and Mama Smiley had her kittens out for a stroll.

Rascal gets so excited when anyone heads to the lake. Her whines and yips so clearly say, “Hurry up, you slowpokes, what is taking you so long?!” Funny dog, she won’t go without us, but once we get started, she runs on ahead, turning back every few feet to check that we’re coming.

More drops today. And - - - - - surprise surprise, more rain. ALL DAY!!!

And a sweet Jocelyn for the afternoon brought the usual joy that only a little one can bring!
