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

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Angel’s Landing

Well I’ll probably never have another chance to use that for a title because I just don’t see myself ever attempting such a climb. But this group nailed it and had a great time from all I’ve heard.

Back home, apples aren’t terribly plentiful, as it’s an off year; and what’s there doesn’t look the greatest. But we’ll be thankful for every one that we get to harvest. These Lodi should be ready in a month or so. *blink*
