April is zooming buy us, isn't it!  Funny how time rushes by adults and drags on and on and on for kids.  I miss those days....ho hum......You know, being an adult isn't for whimps!  I know several families with teens that are in so much of a hurry to grow up.  They want to have the fun adults get to have and the freedoms!!  I remember feeling that too.  Oh the blessed freedoms that come with leaving home and going it on your own!!  Oh, how I wish I could still be young again!!  (OOoops...I sound like my parents now!)Bryan is still content to be a kid at home, enjoying life as a kid.  Whew!  I hope to keep it that way for awhile!! 

    Last Thursday, Bryan, Pood and I decided to hit the road and pay our dear friends, The Disbrows, a visit...I know what you are thinking, we did NOT pack for a month!!  Anyway, we are here again, nestled in the trees with our friends and thinking about house hunting again.  I think it was good to take a break from it.  I am ready to look again.  It is so nice to be here.  Michael and Shirley are the best...kind, giving, and encouraging.  They wrote the book on hospitality!!  Kent, Bryan, and I have been blessed over and over in our relationship with the Disbrow family.  I love how God places people in our lives to show His love and care for us.  It is a good thing, indeed.

    Yesterday, we took a trip to Lake Tahoe.  It was a beautiful day and a peaceful drive along the winding roads and through the forest of thick pines.  We were living life and enjoying it all!  I have included some pics so you can taste a bit of what we enjoyed.  Darth and Yoshi went too, and they frolicked in the sunshine and were thrilled to have so many new places to mark as their own, if you know what I mean...

Well, that is about it for today.  I pray that life is sweet where you are and remember to share laughter with all!!  It is such a healing way to enjoy the day.
