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

*no px of Jewel just post-surgery; but she was pretty sedate after getting all four wisdom teeth out that morning*


And isn't that the cutest little fellow you've ever seen💗

Thursday 12.12
I was planning to go to Pekin from a Morton appt; with roads like this I was very glad to instead head home and stay there.


Huge beautiful flakes. Crazy thing was, this wasn't forecast at all. 



I didn't mind it a bit since I was home in my wonderful cozy warm house; but I was glad when everyone was home safe. Roads just weren't great.

Dad & I took Levi's out for supper as planned, and SJJ held down the fort with this crowd of ruffians.


From Sarah or Jewel ~



Friday morning 12.13 I went on a quick work trip to MS with Dad. That evening we got some exercise walking around this giant toy store in Memphis.


Saturday we followed our noses home and wandered across this Vintage Christmas in Covington, TN. 



Fun to see, fun to go, fun to do; but as always, better to be home again.
