California...Here we come!




We are heading out soon for Will's graduation celebration and family vacation. I am thankful for the Southwest ticket miles that Sid has gathered up and for getting a low bid on Priceline for a hotel, and all the other cheap ways to see California.


I found some random pictures that will give you some idea of things we hope to do and see. I am a little skiddish about putting pictures on my blog off of the Internet. Last time I did that someone had inserted a naked man with only a hat on. Please forgive me if something like that happens again. How in the world did that happen anyway? Good grief.
Thanks for your prayers for traveling safety for us, and we will talk to you soon! Blessings. Amy

Here it is: One box of Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake mix. 1 semi sweet choc. chips 1 small Half and Half- (use half a cup) 1small carton of whipping cream 1 package of cream cheese Half cup sugar Bake cake (follow box directions), let cool and crumble. Stir together cream cheese, sugar and whipping cream with blender until smooth. Melt chocolate chips in bowl and then add half and half. Stir until smooth. Layer in trifle dish. Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I...

May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encourag...
