Summer is Over, School is Here

Holy cow!  What a week!   This week marked the official beginning of school.  However, we started the week working at the school over the Labor Day weekend on the set for Mamma Mia.  Everyone still living at home went to the school for hours. We started by mapping the floor for the turn table. Then… Continue reading Summer is Over, School is Here

Last Week of Summer

We have reached the end of summer... a little bitter sweet.  Summer was too short.  New chapters are always exciting. To celebrate, Lillian went to the beach with her youth group.  We haven't been able to break away from life and get to the beach much this year.  I am so glad that she got… Continue reading Last Week of Summer

Counting Down Summer at Our House

I got to the end of the week and found that I did not take very many pictures.  It's a bit of a let down.  Oops.  It's not not like we didn't do anything this week. When we got home from Utah I went into teaching mode.  However, I did stay up real late one… Continue reading Counting Down Summer at Our House

Lifting the Poor Wayfaring Men of Grief

As we were leaving a Walmart parking lot yesterday, I rolled down my car window and gave a dollar to a homeless man on the corner. He grabbed my hand and genuinely thanked me for the dollar, but asked if I had anything for a headache. It was so hot outside. No wonder he had… Continue reading Lifting the Poor Wayfaring Men of Grief

A Lazy Week

The week opened with SLEEP!  Lilli and I were completely wiped out from the long haul of CET.  However, that didn't stop us from tackling a couple projects throughout the week. First, John wrapped his visit to Utah on business with a visit with his sister and his parents.  He only spent a few waking… Continue reading A Lazy Week

Phew! I Made It to the End of the Whirlwind

Phew!  Is right!  This past week has been nuts!  I hardly made it home... dishes piled up... I have no clean clothes... the weeds are taller than the tomatoes... the grass is unruly... there are no healthy foods in the house...  That's right... this past week was the last LONG week of CET. I worked… Continue reading Phew! I Made It to the End of the Whirlwind

4 Weeks of CET down – One More to Go before the Summer Rush is over

Phew!  Summer is moving along so fast, yet, in the middle of the week it feels long.  This week has been so busy! Last Saturday, John, Lilli and I drove Bend for the Celebration of Life party for my Grandma White.  We met Kimber and Ray there.  They had fun "camping" on Grandma and Grandpa's… Continue reading 4 Weeks of CET down – One More to Go before the Summer Rush is over

Summer is Officially Here… CET Has Started

It is hard to believe that the end of June is here.  I am realizing more and more that we aren't very good at taking time off and recreating.  Our "recreation" revolves around work... or so it seems. Lilli and I spent time together working at the high school.  She wanted to learn the sound… Continue reading Summer is Officially Here… CET Has Started

Trucking into Summer

Well... School is now over and we are racing into summer.  Lillian got to go on a little road trip with Chad.  He was in Oregon for a visit and drove to Idaho Falls for a wedding and back.  Lilli went to help keep him awake.  Other than being left at the mall during the… Continue reading Trucking into Summer
