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

6-9-11 Hot

(Tori)

It has been very hot lately. Tuesday we did a lot of garden work. Jacob rotor–tilled a lot and we put cages around the tomatoes. Since it was really hot, we all went swimming in the afternoon. Wednesday Jacob had an ortho appointment and we needed groceries so Mom and Jacob went to Aldi before the appointment. While they were gone I made bread and we did some housework. The littles went swimming in the backyard because it was so hot. Today Mom and Aunt Sarah went out for breakfast and to do some errands. It was cloudy and looking like rain this morning. It cleared off and is a little cooler but very humid so we went swimming this afternoon at Uncle Jerry’s.

Hard at work on Tuesday morning.

The watermelons are small but they are mighty and are going to produce lots this year (we hope!!)

The cantaloupe are slightly farther along. The big one in the back was the only one that came up from the first planting, so we replanted. The replants are just coming up.
