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

(In case you didn’t figure it out, that’s a barge.)

Next year’s strawberries are coming along nicely in spite of the constant cool cloudy weather.

Before supper, Levi took Jacob, Kate, and Ben on another mushroom hunt. They were again successful. Morel mania magnifies!! A co-worker told Levi that his wife saw some at a store somewhere for sale - - for $45.00 per pound! They ought to be good if they’re worth that much, right?!

They don’t look like much, but there they are – the wild delicacy of spring. I’m definitely not crazy about them, but the rest of the family is, so I’m glad they found some.

Josh is such a little scrapper. Jacob was provoking Jesse who immediately retaliated…and Josh jumped right in the game, giggling up a storm. So cute!
