So my summer hiatus from blogging ends. Summer has been busy- not bad busy, but good busy- too busy to blog.

I would not choose to be anywhere else doing anything else with anyone else.
God is good.
Fall is here.
I remember a memorable night when my wife and I and our two small children camped overnight in a tent in Waterbury State Park. As rain fell in torrents, our tent top began to sag with water and every place we pushed it up to drain the water, of course it leaked. To top it all the racoons snarleld and fought over a cool aid container (managing to screw the lid off) on our picnic table. My wife Linda said, “Why are we here when 30 miles away in Randolph we could be sleeping in our dry and warm bed!”
