I’m pleased to offer a world-wide-web debut of the award winning photography of Gerald Golem! This is an amazing photo of a giant spider web and a curious calf. And I must add that I’ve personally seen these cows in Gerald & Mary’s pasture – so no photo-editing in this picture.

You can hardly imagine my surprise when I arrived at church last month to having my very own “Pastor Kristin” parking sign! I did have a designated parking spot which was the spot identified as “Pastor Carla” – she is the pastor who left for a new call. I thought it was [...]

I was supposed to spend the morning cleaning up the storage room, but Emily said, “Mom, you should watch this movie that I bought.”
It is the best movie that I have seen in a long time. It is a “slice of life” movie and the characters are so “real”. It spoke to me [...]

Probably it’s the age that I am (50) but I am being blessed by with being around babies this summer. I’ve been able to hold Leah’s brother’s baby, Leah’s sister’s baby, my nephew’s baby, and another nephew has just had a baby that I’m looking forward to holding. Dear friends in Ontario have [...]

I thought I should report that date night has been a big success. I saw ‘Sex and the City’ and really enjoyed the movie. It was wonderful to reconnect with the characters. I almost cried at one point!
Doug saw ‘Hellboy’ and said it was ‘fine.’ I believe the direct quote was, [...]

Amy is Doug & my God-daughter. She is 10 years old. On Monday, Amy & I spent the day together. We saw the IMAX film “Sharks” – it was a documentary film and not too scary. Then we headed over to the Legislative Building and arrived just in time for [...]
