Last week was busy and lots of fun. First up…we celebrated our daughter’s birthday on Wednesday with dinner at a nice restaurant in a nearby town. David, Chris and I were there, along with our son-in-law, niece and her boyfriend. We had such a nice time together. Our beautiful daughter Thursday we went up to…
A new tradition…
Last night we began a new tradition – Family Dinner. Our niece, Leslie, recently moved here and she is the one who deserves credit for the idea. And because our definition of “family” is broad we had a few others join us as well. David grilled burgers and we all had an enjoyable time eating,…
Without music…
Without music, life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Nietzsche~ I’ve got a lot of catching up to do here so fair warning – this post has LOTS of pictures. July 1st was our lovely daughter’s birthday. A bunch of us went to Vintage 22 for Trivia that night and celebrated with her. I’m usually the…
What I’ve been up to lately…
I keep thinking I’ll get back to regular blogging and then life just keeps zipping along at a breakneck pace around here. And if I do find a bit of time late at night, our #$@*ing internet has slowed to a crawl…no, less than a crawl. More like a glacial pace. I still need to…

The articles shared are helpful, thought-provoking and uplifting. Yesterday I read one titled, “Create More Joy in Your Life by Prioritizing…
A Glimpse of New Orleans
We’ve been back from New Orleans for two full weeks and I’m just now getting around to sharing a few photos. I’m still dealing with the asthma attack I came home with and we still have one suitcase left to unpack. Yeah, re-entry sucks. But the trip was well worth it. The weather was glorious:…
What I’m Into (September 2013 Edition)
Here it is, October. OCTOBER!

Keeping busy
First, how about an “Autumn on Apple Tree Farm” picture? I took this while walking Shiloh this morning: So, what have we been up to the past several days?
