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

Calmer

 As fun and blessed as last week started out, it was nice for a few calmer days after all grandkids were back home. Dad & I had time for a quick walk before church Wednesday evening.


So pretty.






God's creation is so beautiful.




Thursday. I have no px. Girls to their jobs, school with Josh, and catch-up here. Then I took Josh to work at URandy's hog farm. He did a good job cleaning the hog buildings, much like his four older brothers did when they were his age. 

Friday, October 14. Much the same as Thursday except en route to URandy's, Josh and I saw a couple bald eagles; I went on to Hopedale for cattle feed then. Coming home, I saw another (the same?) bald eagle!


Forgot to mention it was super windy. Headed to pick apples and found this 😲😥😩


Many were bruised and were delegated to the cider crate; some were ok and deemed ok for the dehydrator. 
Sarah had a sweet Harry helping her💗


And a sweet Ellis too.


Meanwhile. Jewel was babysitting a few cutests while Echo had a follow-up appt.

And that evening Jesse's blessed us with a visit while the kids' lake bonfire got moved to the basement because it was rainy, cold, and windy.


Saturday. With a freeze forecasted, we wanted all apples in so they wouldn't freeze. Jewel helped me clean off about five trees.
