Wednesday - A Day at Both Ends of the Pendulum

We've had a sad event in our small town today. Two youth were hit and killed as they drove down a fairly "sane" road....by a 26 YO who swerved into their lane. The boy was the son of a MSgt on base. Please pray for these families, and the driver, as led.

We had an exciting event in our town today, as well. Jamin got news that one of his articles will be published - in our church's magazine. It's a start.

Jared had 3 or 4 hours of Honor Guard training. This had to do with Civil Air Patrol. I THINK the base honor guard was showing them the tricks of the trade.

Since I was on base dropping Jared off, I went to the gym. A gentleman there noticed my Alton Gansky book, "Crime Scene, Jerusalem", and wanted to talk about the author. I've not read his series. He likes them. Liz doesn't...hmmm...I think he was about to offer me $ for my book - and I plan to mail it to the girls.

I had the fun of hosting a friend and her new baby this afternoon.  She wanted me to show her how the United order process works; it was fun.

We made "nola" bars.  Stacia was my helper. It was a challenge but she seemed to enjoy "helping".

I went out for dinner with a couple of friends tonight. It was fun and relaxing. No, I didn't take pictures. My friends don't pose quite as easily as some of youz friends or y'alls friends. ::Snort::

I got home in time to clean up quickly, read a few blogs, and go retrieve Jamin from Chick-Fil-A.  I dod not put any new diapers in the freezer - today.

I'll be praying for the families involved.

It's been awhile since I've commented and I just wanted to say how beautiful the new portraits are of your family. And the pic of Iditarod makes me miss Alaska.

Oh, terribly sad for the families.

Exciting news for Jamin's writing.
