The Long Absence & The Lake

A dear friend whom we haven't seen in years gave us a call the other day. 'Are you all right? Your girls are absent from their blogs.' That's when I realized how long it had been since my last blog post. I don't know what Mom's answer to Linda's question was, but this would be mine. Yes, we are okay. Life is hard but God is good.

The last weeks have been filled with extra pain and challenges and a few extra joys. Pain of yet another set back on Hannah's and my road to kick Lyme. Joys of time with family and friends, good books, and seeing God's hand in little things, all the while trusting that His hand is directing the big as well.

Now to catch you up with a few pictures from these weeks. Let's start at the beginning... the lake. Dorothy was at respite care, and it was our family's turn at the lake in mid-July (we rotate every half week with Mom's four siblings). We took the opportunity and had a mini vacation. The vacation included two nights at the cabin (one shared with Maren and Jason), warm clothes, a game of Chinese checkers, good books, blocking of Maritime Signal Flags S and L, and a photo shoot for Etsy.
