i'm going through and posting old photos to my flickr account, since i haven't done it in ages due to computer issues. it's amazing how a picture can bring such emotion...such memory...such truth. this one brings laughter though and the security of friendship.

what a night!

this was one of the nights during the last week of the school. we had watched a movie and played settlers. it was raining outside and almost past curfew. momma mindy had to send them off in black plastic garbage bags so they didn't get too wet. we were laughing so hard as i was shoving them out the door to get home. then, of course, it stopped raining. some of them ran home without posable arms...cause the bags didn't have arm holes. anyway, i shut the door that night and couldn't stop giggling. oh, the people that come into your life. they are precious.

the beginning of our journey

this was the first day of outreach as we were driving away from the base...some time at the beginning of april 07. i miss seeing those smiles everyday...i miss it a lot.

it's been a long time...

well, i haven't been on this thing in ages. i'm at home now in seattle. my plan is to work until the end of the year and pay off debt that i have and then i'm returning to my other home in townsville, australia.

i'm enjoying the wonders of washington...like good coffee around every street corner, trees, family and last week it rained...oh i love the rain!

i just finished reading a wrinkle in time. a lot of people tell me they read it as a child but i didn't read fairy tales as a child. i think it's because i grew up too fast. i didn't have time for fantasy...but now i do. especially if it's madeleine l'engle, george macdonald or cs lewis.

well, i need to get back to my reading...i'm starting on a wind in the door next. charles wallace thinks there's dragons in the garden.
