We arrived home yesterday after five days in the Colorado mountains where they were having a bit of a heat wave. Yeah. Almost 80 degrees for the high. I had to wear sun screen instead of a jacket when we biked from Vail Pass to Avon. Hard times. Now we’re back in the East Texas […]

George interviewed Jacob about Independence Day. It’s pretty cute. You can listen in by visiting . In spite of the rain we’re supposed to go to Shadowood Lake tonight for potluck and fireworks. Soggy corndogs. Yummmm. Actually, it should be fun no matter what. We know quite a few families who live out there. Famous

This is my third post of the afternoon–mostly because I had three little things to say and didn’t want to put them in one post. (Note to the esteemed Long Longbow: I know I’ve let you down in terms of update quota. I hope today’s spree will atone for past sins. And let me just

I’m home again. Arrived yesterday after almost a week at Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference in California. More about that in a minute. I didn’t sleep much while I was away, so I’m playing catch up. Last night around 11:00 PM I tossed the decorative pillows off my bed ready to dive into dreamland, but
Go ahead and swim against the current. It’s hard at first, but one day you look around and realize you’re dancing on the tops of the waves. Here are some highlights of our Northwesterly Expotition: -> A leisurely Victorian tea at the Queen Mary Tea Room with Grace and Luke, served by Grace’s lovely roommate,
Last night George made chili. It was quite tasty and altogether satisfying, except for one tiny episode. There the three of us sat, spooning dainty mouthfuls of steaming chili into our dainty mouths, when Jacob suddenly stiffened, slammed his spoon down, and bellowed, “Bad bean!” If there’s one thing Jacob doesn’t like, it’s dropping food
Once upon a time, not so long ago–in fact it was yesterday–George came home sniffling with a cold. All through dinner he blew his nose and expressed several times how very tired he felt. Perhaps he’d go to bed early, he said. Oh, and since he’d probably have to blow his nose a lot, and
