Marriage and The Bedroom (Or where ever)
Dirt and I found something interesting several years ago while preparing a class for parents on parenting for purity. We delved into marriage, scripturally, what it is in God’s eyes. When we were looking to scripture to see the beauty in the marriage relationship that is in no other relationship outside of the one we … Continue reading
I’m Excited
I’m excited for a big change in my life. I am excited to vote for McCain. It will be the first Republican candidate for President that I will vote for. And from a girl who has only voted democrat or third party in presidential elections for thirty-two years, that is a change. His running mate, … Continue reading
Why Iron Creek?
What makes Iron Creek so special? Why is it the campground of choice for Labor Day? Oh, a few things I suppose: My dad liked it. The trees are huge. Most of the camp sites are good sized and secluded. We can ususally get a site that we can hear the river (Cispus) when we … Continue reading

A Good Conversation With a Good Wife
Talking to my second oldest daughter, Michelle (married to Mike), today. And we really covered some ground. At first I had to wonder about how she started off the conversation. She just bolted out a question within seconds after I said hello. “Mom, if I was thirty years old and not married yet would I … Continue reading
Getting Packed
We are soon off for a time in the hills. We will be right in the center of some of the big mountains here. South of Rainier, North of St. Helen’s, West of Adams. The main purpose – well the purpose a few years ago that was the main purpose – is to pick Huckleberries. … Continue reading
