July 2026
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

Kaiser Day 2026

 Sunday 8.30

Kaiser Day 2026 was held at UMarks after church and was hosted by UMark&ARenee and UMike&AJoyce. It was the usual super hot but with fans and their pool everyone seemed to stay cool and have a good time re-connecting anyways. I only got a few pictures because I was chatting; and frankly I was just too hot to think about it much.

Anyway - here are a few peeks.




These from Grandma -


Well. This was on her ipad but clearly Grandma didn't take it. Idk who gets photo creds but it's not me or Grandma.








And that's a wrap for Kaiser Day and August 2026.

Did you spot the sweet little one who isn't my grandchild but still calls me grandma - because everyone else does, right?
