At the Outset

We couldn’t have dreamed it up, this life we’ve had together…

We’ve just unearthed some slides and reconfigured them for the digital era… In light of our upcoming 29th anniversary I was looking back at our beginnings.  Since this blog seems to be about traipses,treks and trails and the flora and fauna along the way, perhaps these shots have a place here… It’s been quite a trip!

But with the wonder of a wedding all that changed and we whisked off on a cross-country honeymoon in our own Frigid-aire coupe!—a VW truck, in the dead of winter—the week before Christmas to be exact!

And somehow the changes just never stopped…

Just kids with a precious bundle of life entrusted to our care….

But that’s old news—the last time we were all together for Christmas.

And here it’s coming ‘round again, and there will be booster seats and babies to the count of 3!

1…2…gotta run! many things to get ready!

“Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
Sing the glory of His name;
Give to Him glorious praise!

Say to God, ‘How awesome are your deeds!’

Come and see what God has done;
He is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.” Ps.66:1-5
