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

Another Work Day at Jesse&Lucy's

After dropping off lunch at Jesse's on Saturday morning, we zipped over to Echo's; Sarah and Jewel rode with Echo to check out the Schmidgall kids' garage sale. Sarah took these px of Jasper. Too cute not to share.


😍


Such a happy little chap πŸ’—

A good crew got a lot done.


Some of the crew enjoyed the beautiful day😁




Some of us checked out the playhouse.



Up goes the beam.


Patching the hole where the chimney came out.


Climbing because he can.


πŸ˜–


Beautiful day for a picnic.





You thought that was a pipe destined for the scrap pile, didn't you? Well, it's not. It's a clothesline for Kiowa's laundryπŸ˜„


Tiring out the little crowd.


Climbing because he can - and because this tree needed a swing.



More roof patching. Thankful for safety.


Next px are from girls. Taken before lunch, I think, but owell.








It may look like we're hauling big sticks to the fire, but that's not so. We were hunting deer and bear. We got quite a few. Flint's a pretty good shot with that rifle of his.



And that's about all I got this time around. Was a very productive day on the house even though it looks like most of my day was spent with kids. What of it? Isn't that what grandmas are supposed to do???
