18 March 2012

0 Comments

A few weeks ago Sammy wasn’t even sure he wanted to go to this tournament. Had to have a talk with him to find out why….turned out he was nervous because it would be his first as a black belt. So I reminded him about previous tournaments, and the medals he had…before this tourney, the [...]

Pressure? What Pressure?

So. Maddie has recently started playing with a doll, carrying it around, calling it her baby sister. Tonight a friend of JoAnn’s-not a close friend, mind you, more of an acquaintance…told her that she had a dream about JoAnn having a baby girl at home. The three oldest also are wanting a baby. What’s left, a [...]

The Storm Ravaged…Me

22 January 2012

This past week has been a difficult one. The storm that came through the area hurt badly… The storm itself, with the snow and ice…it was fun at first. But then came the falling trees and limbs, the loss of power and heat, and being fairly stranded in our little area.  Was not so much [...]

It seemed like just yesterday that you (finally) came into our loves…after torturing your mother for 78 hours. Now you are 12. You changed our lives forever…and so much for the better. I could not ask for a better, kinder, smarter, or more loving daughter. And the fact that you have my sense of humor doesn’t [...]

Christmas: A Beginning…And An End.

24 December 2011

0 Comments

The beginning, of course, is easy to see: the birth of the child, the beginning of fulfillment of prophecy, the very start of what would be a new faith. But Christmas was also an end. The end between divisions: between Jew and Gentile, between sexes, between cultures, between races, between rich and poor…between every division [...]

Something Strange at the Pharmacy…

14 December 2011

0 Comments

After the trip back into Tacoma to drive JoAnn and the kiddos home from JoAnn’s doctor’s appointment, I took her prescriptions to the Safeway pharmacy near the new house. As they were getting checked in, I was asked about insurance, and answered the pharmacist assistant that we’d be paying cash for them. He looked at [...]

Holiday Cheer…

11 December 2011

2 Comments

I’ve been feeling like I’m fresh out. Of holiday cheer, that is. Last month was rough, with the less than desired moving (and an even less than desired time), with less than desired extra expenses. And while God was faithful and did provide, I also had about a 10-day period around Thanksgiving that was slower, [...]
