2010 comes to an end

Another year gone by, this one was a rough one. I fear more rough ones are on the way. I don't think people realize yet that our economy can get worse, much worse. This country has had really tough times before, like the Civil War and the Great Depression, but most people alive now remember nothing but relative prosperity. When states and cities go bankrupt, hard choices will have to be made. We've been promised the world, but there is no way to pay for everything we've been promised. So get yourself ready now, while there is still time.

Grandchild is here; Megan gets gold

Spending more time lately on facebook and less blogging. Noah arrived Feb. 18, 7lb 6oz, what a beautifual addition to our lives. Yesterday Megan got gold for the Indiana State competition for flute. we are some pround parents/ grandparents!

Welcoming in a new decade

Having never really figured out what to call the last decade (the o's, the aughts, who knows) we made it to the tens (or is it teens? Someone will set me straight.) Didn't know if I would make it here with the cancer and whatnot, but by the grace of God I'm still among the living. Don't forget that every day could be your last so don't waste them.
