Laptops are so nice – and frustrating.  Mine has gotten very slow and I am not knowledgeable enough to have the reason figured out.  So here I am posting from the desktop at home.  It is so nice and fast and free since Leo is away.  But now I am off to Gatecrashers so my [...]

Not much blogging has been going on here.  I think things will get back to normal but I have been too exhausted to blog.  I’m usually a very early riser but have found myself sleeping in and still waking up tired.   This week has been full – from preparing for Dad’s funeral at the [...]

When I make a major faux pas, I feel pretty rotten.  Well, I made one today.  I assumed that Rachelle knew things.  I made her feel bad by not communicating very well at all.  I am at my worst when I am stressed so I could use that as an excuse.  But mostly I am [...]

I think all the details are taken care of.  I would hate to have to arrange a funeral in the case of the tragic loss of a loved one.  I certainly would not go to work in the morning the day before the funeral.  Ah well, today is about over.  Here we sit this evening, [...]

Tonight, at about 8:10 Dad took his last breath and his heart slowed to a stop.  I am very glad I was there.  One minute there were very weak breaths, then those were done.  One minute there was life, fragile as it was, then it was gone.  Dad just kind of slipped quietly away. The [...]

This week has been different.  When I went to work on Monday, I let my staff know that my dad was not doing well and that I may have to take some time off during the week.  Now here we have made it through this long week, and it has really been a busy one in terms [...]

My dad has become very weak and frail over the past few weeks and now is close to being done with his time here on earth.  Leo and I went up to see him yesterday afternoon.  For the first time in my visits to him, he hardly responded at all.  On Remembrance day he was [...]

Today I took a chunk of the day, drove the half hour out to the cabin at the farm and spent some quiet time with God.  Life has been so busy around our place the last six weeks or so that I needed to just get away and be quiet.  My time has to wrap [...]

Posting has been a lot sparser in the past few weeks.  It is to be expected I guess – that life would get more hectic with a baby in the house. Instead of sitting down at the computer and being inspired to great theological depths in the late evening, I now mosey on down to [...]

Over at Flikr I have created a set of pictures of the new baby.  Feel free to follow this link and see more photos.  I’ll likely keep adding to this set from time to time.
