Wow, could you squeeze more into one day?  Youth Sunday, Confirmation, Mother’s Day, and Chelsey’s voice recital!  It was a very full day.  We had a great time, though, and the kids were all wonderful.  Oh, God, you have blessed me so to allow me the privilege of working with such excellent youth.  I thank […]

  I am so glad that it’s Wednesday.  I’m tired and ready for a rest from all of the hustle and bustle.  I’m happy for those in the play that it’s over–I’m sure you’re exhausted.  Did I ever post pics?                

So, I promised photos, and I know lots of my friends love photos like I do!  But before I show photos, I have to defend myself to whomever thinks I told someone’s parents what was on a child’s xanga.  You know, I love being friends with many of you, and I never have taken what […]

Yes, it’s Monday. The weekend was great!  I’ll post pics later, but right now I’m in the car waiting for Chip to finish a lesson.  Bernie was so surprised on Saturday night when about 30 of our friends showed up, along with his hero Webb Wilder, the last of the full grown men.  It was […]

I’ve been watching Dateline tonight.  It’s another show about sexual predators who meet kids online.  Oh, please don’t chat with anyone you don’t know.  Please, please don’t think for a minute that it’s safe to think about talking to or meeting people you don’t already know!!!

Happy Birthday Taylor Simpson!!!!!  Pretty soon, I’ll be able to catch a ride with all of the kids who have ridden with me through the years.  I’m sure I’ll be the person they think of cruising with first!   Oh, well, Happy Birthday, Taylor!  So, it’s been a week since I’ve updated.  Yikes!  I’ve been super […]

My mom sent this to me today.  I liked it, and I thought I’d share it with you all.  But don’t overlook the bottom of today’s post…Felix’s birthday!  Hooray! A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.   Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work […]

  Today is the first birthday of Felix Steen, II.  We are so happy to have him in our family!   Felix when he first came to our house! 6/3/2005 Felix and Liza–He was so much smaller than she…but not now!   Felix sleeping beside Sandie–a safer choice!

The thunder and lightning have been awful this morning–I started unplugging things for fear of what would happen if lightning struck.  Have been helping reconstruct someone’s life the past couple of weeks after they were hit by lightning, and I don’t want to go through it again at my own house.  So, it is amazing […]
