Because it is scheduled to be 102 degrees here (what they call unseasonably warm, a record in fact) and because we have no air-conditioning, and because we have two couples coming over for dinner tonight (whom we are going to wine and dine on card-tables in the basement store-room where it’s about 10 degrees cooler than [...]
\’c3\’82\’c2\~We went and picked 15 pounds of strawberries this morning. I set Ezra on a blanket in the field and handed him a few strawberries from time to time. He was a site to behold – I forgot to bring a camera though, so I didn’t get a picture of him in his full berrie-smeared glory. [...]
It’s so easy to take ourselves too seriously. I was doing a thought experiment today in the shower (a fertile time for my imagination). I was thinking about how we will all be so easily forgotten. First I thought about people in history. How many names are even remembered, let alone remembered with any attached details, [...]

It was a fun week, but tiring – which is par for the course at Family Camp, but leaves one feeling rather drained for the next few days, especially Sunday.

Mostly, I use the computer when the boys are asleep – either in [...]
I read Cheaper by the Dozen recently and enjoyed it – it wasn’t quite as funny as I had been expecting it to be (I confess, I found the father a little irritating), but all of the large family logistics were quite interesting and some of the stories are hilarious! I particularly liked this section where [...]
That’s the refrain going on next to me on the TV. I have to say, I always had a strong affection for Winnie the Pooh and am glad that Judah wanted to watch it this afternoon while I finished up the cards and gifts for the graduation this evening. Yes, I made cards for the graduation. [...]
