Summer Kenyan Gathering

 We gathered our neighbors who are from Kenya along with a family I met through seminary for dinner tonight, and it was a sweet time to be together around the table.

Good Medicine

Erika and Jim have often said that people describe the Yuba River as "good medicine," and I would say the same is true of summers in the PNW! 
family dinner on the porch 


volunteering at the Light Collective camp today with JJ Kissinger 
(the theme was Olympics and we were encouraged to wear gold--- I take these assignments very seriously!) 

with Pat (who used to be a sponsor at the Edge when Anna and Taylor were in high school) 

still wearing the sparkly gold earrings 🤣on my walk with Alli this afternoon 


good medicine indeed

Happy 6th Birthday to Willow!

Willow was not very excited about the birthday shenanigans, 
but this is what she has to endure to live in this house.
