My friend Tania

My friend Tania over at Larger Family Life is giving away a copy of her recently published book. Even if i don't win, I will be buying a copy! Tania doesn't know it, but she is an inspiration to me....while my family is small compared to hers, we find ourselves in similar situations...and I can't wait to read their book! Check her site out ya'll!

Long month...

Here I thought August would be easy! I knew September would be busy between SCA events and the reunion and birthdays...but August has been rough! Tonight we'll attend the wake of a friend...who was two years older than mm. yup, he was our age...died in a car wreck. this will be our third funeral in three weeks. three funerals?!? really. all three aare home with their Savior now...they are content, no more pain. Families grieve. Friends grieve. We cry and mourn...all the while knowing they are happy...we grieve for our loss. The loss of a father, a grandfather, an old family friend. RIP Scotty, Mr. Neil, et al. God be with us in our time of grief.
