Welcome

Welcome to our place...just two steps away from the funny farm! To explain this name, whenever things get crazy at our house, I always say "Well, we are just two steps away from the funny farm!" As a very busy homeschooling family, things DO sometimes get a bit chaotic. But we love this life of living and learning together and there is never a dull moment!

The picture of the beautiful Amish farm on this page was taken while we were on the Strasburg Railroad.

Mortal ills prevailing

Cancelled piano lessons, got a substitute teacher for my class this afternoon, sent Mark out to take Ivy to her classes and pick up more things from the store... what a day. Sometimes the sick germs win and we have to surrender to those mortall ills that prevail.

However, this will pass. I'm so thankful for the blessings of home, warmth, oranges, soft tissues, videos for Jaden, and a caring husband. There is always a rim of joy surrounding the clouds.

Like last night, when Victoria Rose was being buried in the backyard, in the rain, and we were weeping.... we could hear the church bells ringing the song, "Jesus What a Friend" at that very time. Like music for a funeral.

I hope whatever you are facing today, there are reminders of God's love for you. Look for joy!
