• The Glorious Mess

  Doing life differently is the tagline for the group I work with. We proved that Saturday as we hosted two groups of folks, totaling over a hundred people, for a day of barbecue, sweets and massive water slides. We do enjoy entertaining. So we go for broke.

• When Quiet Speaks Louder Than Words

  It was one of those weekends that creep out of nowhere and remind me why the week needs an end. We all need a break every once in awhile. John has been traveling. There were no pressing plans, apart from helping some dear friends begin moving out of their home. No gatherings or games to…
