Perfect Ending


The main reason for our "Snow Trip" was to have one final family gathering before my son Tyrone and his family move. I have not even dared to say this out loud for fear that it would really come true. But alas it is true, He and his little family are really moving. I have been a total basket case for the past two weeks. One minute I am happy and the next, I am sobbing uncontrollably. My children just look at me and don't know what to do or say. The good thing about this is that they have been extra obedient to try and cheer me up. I have always known that this day would come, but what I did not expect was the pain that accompanies it. Thank goodness for modern technology that will enable us to keep in touch.


Our perfect ending for the day consisted of a campfire dinner as the family huddled near the fire to get warm.















We had invited a good friend who was called into work at the last minute to join our family. Since he was unable to make it, we packed snow in a large cooler and took it to him.






Once down from the mountain, the snowball fight began. Much to my dismay, the memory in my camera was too full to capture all of the fun.

Where Did September Go!

The entire year has seemed to fly by and each month moves on more rapidly than the previous one. I have never been so busy in my life. I am finding it difficult to keep on top of all of my responsibilities, and since blogging is not a necessity on my daily chore list I have fallen behind in my posts. Here is a quick picture review of the past month with a promise to do better.















































As you can see my time is taken up with my family.
Nothing gives me greater joy!
"For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also."
Matthew 6:21


I have found my treasure within my family.
