New description


Since the birth of ye old blog my description has been a line that is actually a title of a Cranberries CD: Everybody else is doing it so why can't we.

As I was unpacking a box of photo albums, I came across the last one I filled from last summer. I got it at a Hallmark store and I put a picture our family and CaMee's family in front of the Old Faithful Lodge. The caption under the window on the front cover says: "Who wouldn't want to be us."

We took that day trip on the way home from the farm and talked Mom and Cam into coming with us. We were also taking a Mastiff puppy for CaMee to be sent to its new home in North Carolina. I have 3 kids. CaMee has 6. We had Champ and the new puppy. Mom was buying all her grandkids one souvenir from Yellowstone for the summer. We had to get to Old Faithful since we hadn't been since Olivia was a baby. It was chaos. It is always chaos. Anyone who knows us knows we go and do and play hard.

And we have awesome pictures!

So the new description of ye old blog is "who wouldn't want to be us."

And frankly, I can't think of anybody else I would rather us be!

There are a number of other options too: calamity, what are the chances, can it get more bizarre. etc. Really, you arrive in the coldest december on record, the hottest janaury ever, and couple of earthquakes, and now a volcano!!! If I didn't know Alaska better, I'd think there's a correlation to JaDee's arrival in Alaska and these cosmic events. Mike Redmond

I agree (well, about myself, that is) and that's a good thing! I love the positivity of the new title! I posted a couple more pictures of Kate that look a little more like her, you'll have to check them out.

A little quote or two...

“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” -Washington Irving

soul," --Nicole Moncur 2008

"Reading can be dangerous." --Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale


BOOK HOUSE from the paper of my Grandfather Sidney W. Campbell

I always think the cover of a book is like a door Which opens into someone's house where I've not been
before. A pirate or a fairy queen may lift the latch for me. I always wonder when I knock, what welcome there will be. And when I find a house that's dull, I do not often stay But when I find one full of friends, I'm apt to spend the day. I never know what sort of folks will be within you see. And that's why reading always is so interesting to me. ~~Annie Fellows Johnston
