As the name of my blog indicates, I spend a lot of time thinking about home. Of course, my Heavenly Home is the one that is eternal, so that’s where I need to lay up my treasures, and that’s the one I’m striving for. But in the meantime, I have been given this tiny piece of the here-and-now—this home on the edge of town, this family, this neighborhood—in which to serve Him. And, though this is in the earthly realm, I want the things that happen here to be investments in the Heavenly realm.

Sixty-Five Years!


This past weekend we celebrated the sixty-fifth wedding anniversary of Ron's parents. What a milestone!



They have been blessed with sixty-five years together, (mostly) good health, eight children, eighteen grandchildren, twenty-three great-grandchildren, and a host of in-laws (or "out-laws" as my brother-in-law likes to say :-).

Sixty-four family members gathered to celebrate and honor their commitment to each other.

Snowflakes (inside, thankfully!)

Too much party!

    I layed in bed last night and counted the attendees! I got to 65 and thought, "Oh, that's cool. Sixty-five people at a sixty-five anniversary." But I guess I counted wrong. :-(
