Just Peachy Pancakes

Take a stack of simple, pretty pancakes…

butter them. Drain 1 can of peach halves and whirl in blender for 20 seconds.

Pour half a cup of the peach puree over the lonesome pancakes.

Give this beauty a shot of whip cream.

Eat. It. All.

Now go call the police.

You know this has to be illegal.

The Babe and the Boy

One of Dane’s mission companions is back home now. He came to see us because he promised Dane that he would.

He also swore an oath…

to come hug the babies in Dane’s place—especially the one my boy hasn’t met yet.

June 22 070

He is a very sweet boy.

June 22 071

We all completely loved him—at first sight.

Ok, ok.

Not all.

What Really Matters…

July 15 010

“As a physician, who has been deeply privileged to share the most profound moments of people’s lives including their final moments, let me tell you a secret. People facing death don’t think about what degrees they have earned, what positions they have held, or how much wealth they have accumulated. At the end, what really matters is who you loved and who loved you. That circle of love is everything, and is a great measure of a past life. It is the gift of greatest worth.”

Dr. Bernadine Healy, Commencement address, Vassar College, 29 May 1994
