It seems to have been a year of learning […]
Thanksgiving Preparations
Now my back is tired. We slept in a little bit today, then went to Hy-Vee for breakfast and ran a couple of errands. Found boxes of Christmas cards at Bomgaar’s 25 for $1.99–YAY! We came back home and I cleaned the oven, did laundry, cleaned house, mixed up dinner rolls, went to see my […]
Catch Up News
Wow, where have I been? These last weeks (or months?) have been crazy. I got to spend a week at Megan and Greg’s when Greg went back to work. I helped around the house and ran a couple of errands, and GREATLY enjoyed my time there! I think the last time I spent Monday thru […]

Thought for the day Thinking a lot about hope these last few days. As humans we have a great need for […]
Full Week
Okay, three funerals in one week is a little over the top. We did have the chance to be with Jon’s family who we hadn’t seen in a long time, and that was wonderful. We also got a chance to celebrate some lives that have been lived in the light of God’s grace, and it […]
The Need to be Thankful
We are planning on traveling to Jennifer’s funeral next week. My feelings are a mixture of sadness and excitement. It will be so good to see everyone, but such a sad time. Tabbi is planning on riding with us…almost like old times. I’m sure we’ll need to be aware of all the possible pit stops […]
