Last weekend, the girls and I traveled with my hubby out-of-town for a continuing education course. We just sort of loafed, shopping and swimming and basically, being bums while Dad was hard at work. For me, it was a welcomed break from the monotony that has become our lives lately.
The hotel that hosted the course [...]

In an effort to overlook my earlier plea for prayer until the point at which I can clearly discuss WHAT the heck is up around here… I’ve decided to focus on the silver linings of the week.
