Here’s how it happened. Mauri sent me this story from our local paper, announcing this exciting news. I forwarded it to Quinn, with whom I share all good Goodwill news. (Her dad’s story about her being switched at birth plays out in the fact she has no interest in shopping at Goodwill.) She wrote back: [...]

Taylor posted this picture on Facebook with the caption: “I declare myself king and sovereign ruler of this land!” I’m glad he’s taking his new position seriously. And he appears to have settled in nicely, wouldn’t you say?

When the worship ensemble is given a call time for Sunday morning, someone often asks the leading question: What should we wear? There’s only one right answer to that question: the pink boas. Ha! Ha! We all laugh every time. This morning we showed up a little ahead of our call time to don our [...]

It was important to record the success, since each one went back in the lake after posing for his/her picture. Here’s a condensed album of the day: I don’t quite understand the [...]

For Christmas my friend Lisa gave me a flight certificate she earned as a volunteer hot-air balloon chaser. It took her a full summer of volunteering to earn another one so we could go together. And today, despite iffy weather conditions, we got to go up! It’s fascinating to be a quiet observer of such [...]

A couple of months ago Taylor moved his stuff into a Scottsdale, AZ, storage unit and flew to Florida. He is newly employed with an independent provider of health services that contracts with government agencies. Thankfully, his military training and background as a biomed technician caught the attention of this reputable company, and they hired [...]

After a full day of sorting through box after box of what was left of the senior Macys’ earthly possessions after their children and grandchildren and even great-grandchildren had chosen what we/they wanted to keep, I snapped this one picture for a keepsake of my own. It will serve as a reminder about why it’s [...]

While all the grands were in town we worked on a project together: designing t-shirts. We went to a local shop called FanFare and chose colorful shirts in the right sizes for everybody. I worked with each of the Anderson kiddos with my computer to create their own designs. Bailey’s is about basketball; Marissa’s is [...]
