Where We Have Been....

Its   Now  Summer   Here...

Meaning...

  that  now the weather is warm and getting warmer,

We that live in the Rocky Mountains,

think its vacation time...

So I guess we have had a "vacation from the blog" too.

Actually...

there just hasn't been the time.

My family rarely takes time away from home.

Though my husband decided  on Sunday July 18

that we were going to travel (meaning in the car)

2 states away to see ill and aging parents.

So our trip began on Friday evening from our home,

we traveled about 6 hours away, then slept for the night.

Started the next morning and reached our parents city at 11:30pm.

We stayed 2 days , travel back, 2 days...

getting in at 1am this morning.

So I am tired.

I will be headed(in another direction) to visit my oldest daughter on Saturday,

I am taking my 4 youngest children.

We will stay one week at her house then return home.

In the meantime...

the count down for the wedding is 36 days...

So all the last minute things to be done.

Family and friends that will be here for the wedding.

So thats where I have been.

Take care,

Mommy 2

P.S. While on "my vacation",

I dropped my digital camera... it is no longer working.

So...I guess I will  be writing more on the blog.

THOUGHTFUL Thursday

As you already know by now, I am getting old. Youth seems SO young to me now and my elders so much less elderly these days. I have recently had the privilege of attending two bridal showers for my soon to be daughter in law. At these showers I have been surrounded by young Christian women that have been a total inspiration. I was humbled and delighted by the interaction of these young women.

I tried to remember who I was at their various ages and I didn't compare favorably with any of them. There is so much talk about how our society and young people are deteriorating and I know it is true in many circles. I feel for directionless unmotivated youth. I am astonished sometimes at what depths young people will stoop to today. But this week, I was thrilled to watch and listen to young women who have inner strength, direction, sincerity and self control. I am pleased to be accepted into their circle and thankful to be able to see the direction that their lives are headed.

You girls know who you are. Thank you for being such good examples for all of us. Thanks for being good friends, sisters, mothers and daughters. I am very thankful for you.
