  • Summertime, Summertime, Sum-Sum-Summertime

         It’s definitely summer.  We are in the midst of a heat wave.  Temperatures topped out here at 106 yesterday, down from Tuesday’s 108.  Today we’re expecting about 104…..it’s a cooling trend!  Our valley is also filled with smoke.  It is filtering in from the wildfires raging all around us, dropping down into the valley […]

  • I’m Dancin’ A Jig

  • Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

         We play music in our home, almost every waking moment.  It’s quite an eclectic jumble of music, too.  You’re just as likely to hear classical, as you are to hear tunes from the 40’s.  Worship and praise music might be playing, or perhaps soft piano dinner music.  We might be listening to folk music for […]
