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

I had told Wesley earlier that I was Josh’s mom, A. Ruth; he’d been watching Josh fish so knew who Josh was. Later when I asked him who I was, he was so sweet when he grinned and said, “ You’re Josh’s mom.” Smile Just melted me!

The little fisherman himself.

Lola was so cute chatting with Echo. I never heard what they were talking about, but it sure made a cute picture.

P1140904

Drew and Landry were so hoping to see Levi catch a fish.

P1140905

But it was Josh who AGAIN scored big!

P1140912

Slippery little fella almost flipped away.

P1140911

What is it about fishing that attracts little ones? Lola was so cute, wanting to get so close, but not too close, you know. Just wanted to be right there watching.

Precious!

More entertainment - thanks for these px, A. Joyce!
