Running With a Bucket

We have been having a  blast with J and C, who arrived Thursday around supper time.  The kids have all gotten along wonderfully…..and it hit me the other day, we have 15 people here at the moment….ten of us and five of them!  How crazy is that?   Last night, C, Emma, and I decided to…

Waiting

There is nothing really fun about waiting. I know everyone of you understand what I’m talking about. All of us have spent time in the “waiting room”…whether it’s waiting for a job, a job change, a decision someone needs to make that will affect you, a potential spouse to come into your horizon, children to…

Phoenix!!

Apparently not many people choose to vacation in Phoenix in mid-July. Not really sure why. Maybe it’s that 112 degree thing.
