Ponderings

I heard some very sad news today about a Ketchikan pilot who died yesterday leaving behind a wife and four kids. I knew of the family and had met his wife before. News like this leaves me feeling almost as bereaved as if I had been close to the family. I couldn't stop thinking about it today. I just can't fathom the depth of grief and shock she and the kids must be dealing with right now. I cannot imagine having a husband one minute and then finding out that he's suddenly gone forever. Everything you had recently done together was for the last time. Your kids would be fatherless. I just cannot imagine what they're going through and what they will be going through for a long time. My thoughts and prayers are with the Murdocks. And I will hold my husband closer than ever.

I know, I know, I haven't posted in FOREVER! I have Molly's First Communion pics to post, and some cute ones of Ethan and Sam.

Right now I feel like sticking a vacuum cleaner into my ear and sucking out everything that is stuffing my head. I'm quite sure I have a sinus infection so first thing Monday, I'm going to the clinic to have my ears cleaned out and get some antibiotics. Blah.

I must say, apart from runny noses and stuffy heads, our summer is starting off very well with some fantastic weather! It's 74 degrees right now and it's 7pm!

We got lots done today. Lonny cleaned the carpet upstairs and I washed Abby and her bedding. I always like to wash carpet and dogs on the same day; it just makes sense. :) Lonny fixed some stuff on the RV and it's all ready to go.

Now it's off to our annual fast food outing. I think we deserve it.

School is out! (Daniel)

The title says it all! Complete freedom for three months! We can stay up late and wake up late! We can drive down the coast in an RV! I can stay up at the University for two weeks! Ah glorious relaxation.
