Lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what gives my life purpose. I work from home, I’ve been isolated for months (due to COVID), my interactions with friends and family have decreased and I’ve been left with my work related to-do list, laundry, and grocery shopping.

After the long hot drive, after lugging all our belongings into the quaint cabins, after greeting nearby family members, I face the river.

Kenton loves banana flavored things. It’s kind of weird and I love him for it. I mean, he gets banana flavored snow cones. I didn’t even know they did that. But he loves them. Once we were traveling with family and we tried this cake at a luncheon. When he bit into it he did […]
