Still way behind on the blog (I have lots of back-dated posts to write up), but it’s just not a priority right now. I did want to quickly give an update on the garden, as this is something that IS taking up a lot of our time and IS a priority. We now have three […]
This is a bit of a multi-purpose Blog/Email/Journal type entry that will probably pop up in various places – apologies if you come across it twice.

The songs have really fallen behind in a big way. Other things have just been more inportant of late. BUT – the songs are back on my list this week and this is a special! A while ago a friend of ours who’s heading out to Kenya on a mission trip this summer, asked if […]
