Thankful Music

This guy, right here– my cute boy Dane, is taking classes in using technical resourses to make music–and is he ever having fun doing it! He started in October so he set up a full line of Halloween tunes. Some are silly kid songs and some are surprisingly spooky!

His YouTube page is called Light Shine University.

Lord of the Harvest

Then he moved on to a whole new, quite forgotten genre and made a long list of Thanksgiving music. I’ve been listening to it for weeks and I have to say, it’s lovely to have tons of gratitude-type lyrics in my head–especially this time of year.

I Love You More

He has written one from a true story of a sweet conversation with his little daughter that melts my heart.

Grampa Was the Gingerbread Man

And this one…is about my dad and it makes me sob. It’s beautiful.

I’m so proud of him. Please check out his whole page for tons of beautiful, fun stuff.

Road Trip- Day 6 Heading Home

Ok, this is my LEAST favorite thing about roadtrips….

having to say good-bye to a big chunk of my heart.

Ooooh, I’m going to miss this sweet guy…

and his family….SO, so much.

The cousins will miss each other too. It was just all so dang FUN!!

It’s so strange to drive away from these guys who just lived down the road a few months ago. Kind of awful, actually. Feels like we should all be going “home” together.

Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

Good-bye sweet family—I love you!!

The Road Trip- Day 5B “Fishing”

After the hike, some of the kids were still wanting more of the rugged outdoor, fend-for-yourself type fun. So Uncle Dane and Aunt Kortney decided to take them FISHING.

I’ve only been fishing once and it was a baaaaaad experience and I was young enough that I should have forgotten it, but of course, I didn’t. I’ll have to tell you about that sometime…later.

ANYway, we went to the local fishing hole and it was wonderful. The bigger kids and Kortney even caught some fish. Not being an enourmous fish or fishing fan, but also not wanting to be left out entirely…

I came along…

and stayed in the car. At least this time, I could see all the action.

As you can see from all the smiles–this was certainly another unforgettable day!

Road Trip- Day 5 The Hike

Most of the kids and grown ups were feeling very adventurous today so Dane and Kortney found the perfect place to take a family friendly hike into the local forest.

I say, “most” because it was going to be farther than I could walk, so I opted to stay in the car and mind my own business…meaning…I was going to stare out at a pretty little empty field…

and crochet. It was perfect!!

Here is what the  more active folks saw…

Thanks guys for sharing the pictures with me! It was almost like being there …without the hiking.

Heh, heh.
