Hoping that humor and sarcasm can get me through this thing they call motherhood. Monday, July 6, 2015. Shannon Cook of Very Shannon. Published another pattern that I loved. A couple weeks before she published the Bradway Shawl she put out a couple of teasers with yarn requirements and a mini knit-along that would be launched on the day the pattern went live. I saw the call for Brooklyn Tweed and I was sold.

The Strong Little Women and one LONE man. Monday, July 20, 2015. Remember the co-worker I mentioned in my earlier post? The Great Great Grandson of George Ferris. His name is Glenn and he was super generous to take our family rafting last weekend. We rafted the Cabarton stretch of the Payette. Glenn had taken Kendall and I two summers ago. This year, he took the whole family. Sidney was ready for her first rafting adventure. We stopped for lunch at a little beach along the river. It was a great day! .

Picnicking at Lucky Peak before heading into the foothills on a butterfly and wildflower hunt. First camping trip of the summer with the Starkels. No better way to beat the heat on 100 degree days than a good old fashioned slip n slide. Family pics - July 2014.

As I became a young adult I wrestled with what I believed the Bible really had to say about the issue. We had to break down the cultural stigma opposed to that lifestyle as well as the agenda of those in favor of it.
