I recently received my alumni magazine from Webster University, which I hardly ever read, but in this issue was a two page layout devoted to alumni authors. I took a double-take when I saw a book which I own and which was written by someone I go to church with. I looked more closely and sure enough, it really was the same book. Micky, who goes to church with me and who has been through a lot in life wrote a book titled Journey to Joy. I haven't read my copy yet but this will probably inspire me to get around to it sooner than later. I guess I'm really lucky that I not only count Micky as a Christian sister but two others from my church are also authors, Kristi Neace and Steve Murrie. I don't have either of their books; Kristi's is for women and Steve's is for kids (Michael has a copy of Steve's and loves it).
As for other things going on with us, we're just in the process of getting ready for the kids to be out of school soon and preparing for vacation in mid-June. Just this week we bought our first item from Craig's List. We're taking our van to Williamsburg, Virginia on vacation so I wanted a car-top luggage carrier to make more space for us. We got it this week and it's pretty spacious and in good shape. (As I picture the luggage carrier on top of our van I can't help but hear the song Holiday Road in my mind from National Lampoon's Vacation).
The kids will be starting swim team soon so you'll be seeing a few pictures of swimming action in the near future. Michael had his last band concert last night. He plays the trumpet but has been rather uninspired in his playing so he won't be continuing on in the 8th grade. On to trying the next thing I suppose!
