We have been providing love to our kids long enough now that a number of our earlier children have returned to visit the home they remember with fondness, and to thank us for the love they received while here.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Light Greens. You can show photos you have taken of Spring with its bright green leaves, light pastel greens to neon green and lime.

But it occurred to me that riding in a bass boat, capable of traveling upwards of 50 miles per hour over the water, is something that a lot of people probably haven’t done.

One of my favorite local trails runs through a thick grove of mostly oak, cottonwood, and willow trees, with some occasional evergreens mixed in. This beautiful old redwood reaches high above the tree canopy, guarding the trail in […]
I was very lucky to travel, multiple times, with my parents to Mexico at a young age, to see parts of the country that tourists rarely see, and to meet a good number of truly wonderful people. Even though most of my memories are now pretty vague, I still have some very strong impressions of those amazing experiences. My parents met the evangelist, […]
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance — Alan Watts Today I’ve been digging around in my collection of old prints and negatives. Since I’d never tried my new slide scanner on negatives yet, I was interested to see what sort of results I would get. If nothing else, […]
