Safely Gathered In

Oftentimes, before I go to bed, I lean in close to Tyson and ask him to tell me nice things about myself. On this particular night, the night that we sealed our 25 bags of hard white wheat into our buckets, Tyson said: "I love how excited you get about food storage!" Well, not the best compliment I ever recieved, but I took it with a smile. I do love food storage, and it does make me happy. Sooooooo happy.

Uncle Scott Comes to Visit

It was so fun to have my little brother Scott come visit us! Buzz kept calling him "Scotty Wotty Potty" after an old nick name he used to have, but we decided that probably wasn't a nick name for a nephew to call his uncle, so Buzz called him the "Gingerbread Boy" instead (another family joke). Sometimes it's hard to have any pride when you belong to a family that dwells on silly and terrible and embarrasing things that happen to you. What can you do? Laugh, I guess!
We ran and biked on the Douglas Trail, toured Mayo, caught fireflies, had water fights, fed the ducks, and of course played some mean games of Touche'. Touche', for those of you who don't know, is basically fancy ninja sword fighting with swimming pool noodles. It's a lot of fun, and fun is GOOD!
