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

Weekend

 Px courtesy of Jewel as she and Kate went on a horse ride after inside jobs were done on Saturday morning.





More from Jewel as some pyromaniacs cleaned up weeds in the South Grove.


From my camera now -

Whole crew got in on the action of emptying Grandpa's old (think: 3 decades) wood out of the wood shed, splitting it, and stacking it again for next winter.




At one point this pile was about four times this size - I didn't get a px at its biggest.


Admiring a lot of firewood, marveling at how nicely it all stacks. Hey - Dad's good.


Final trip of junk wood to South Grove.


Final cleanup completed.


That evening, these two and Jasper got to hang out with us.



Kate brought Jovie and Jayda out for awhile. Grandkids weren't sure they liked having other littles here; but they did well sharing.


Sunday

Josh's first time driving the tractor. He did fine.


Jewel & Josh


Back to Jewel's photography. Not sure what was going on here.


Kind of a spontaneous supper with all kids and ASK able to come.


The rains came down and the floods came up...


Jason is infatuated with Brandi.


Jason is also ridiculously cute.


Peek-a-boo with Aunt Kate.
😍


And that's it!
