    The Circus Came to Town

    The circus came to Charlestown this spring. The newspaper said you could watch the elephants put up the Big Tent, so we went to watch. You can imagine how disappointed the boys were to watch a bunch of guys running around setting up the poles and canvas. While we waited for the elephants to do…

    For Jim’s 40th birthday, I took everyone on a surprise vacation to the Red River Gorge area in Kentucky.  We rented a house and spent our days hiking, studying nature, playing, and enjoying the family.

    We have lived in our current home for seven years.  That’s the longest I’ve ever lived in one place, and it’s half my life time.  I really like Indiana and all of the stuff we’ve been able to do out here. In seven years we have built a lot of stuff here:  1. Built friendships…

    Fletcher is my 120% child.  Whether he’s happy, sad, loving, or cranky, Fletcher puts 120% of himself into everything he is feeling and doing. He’s very outgoing and is the first one to reach out to people he doesn’t know. Fletcher does all of the unmolding at Goat Milk Stuff and likes to play with…

  • Our Cats

    Our Cats

    As a large family with lots of young children, we tend to leave crumbs everywhere.  We also have farm animals that leave feed everywhere.  Unfortunately, this tends to encourage the mice.  And even more unfortunately, Mom and I hate being surprised by mice. Soooo… We have cats. We have had LOTS of cats over the years. We…
