The first week with our four granddaughters together has been great. Parker's graduation party; Happy Joe's pizza; sleeping in; movie marathon; Iowa Farm Museum; board games; cookout at Leif and Loraine's; Reimen's Garden in Ames and Parker's award at Annual Conference; shopping in Amana. Now onto the second!

Inserting ourselves into children's and grand-children's lives can be tiring. Looking forward to celebrating Gaby's birthday this weekend.

Three months plus since last post, three grand-children's birthdays attended and two to go before summer.

Watching Meet the Press live. Church later. This is different.

The sky above the white, snowy field is a picturesque blue, scrubbed with a yellow-white mixture approaching the ground behind the tree line and just above.

A new year. We have made a lot of progress in scaling down (sorting, tossing, and recycling) our things after moving into our new home. We continue to do so even on this first day of a new year.
