Last week was an exciting week because I started my new job as a docent at the Alexander Noble house in Fish Creek. I haven’t written much since I was hired because I had a lot of research and learning to do. Continue reading

This has been a positively exciting week! It started on Monday when I had lunch with a business consultant… Continue reading
Home again
I actually returned home late Tuesday night, but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to sit down and write since I got back. I am at my own computer now, so I have an opportunity to send the pictures I took while I was gone. Continue reading
An act of God
Most of my readers know that I am a Christian from a Christian family, but there are many different beliefs among Christians. It may not surprise you to know that my sister, Sherill, believes in miracles since she was miraculously healed the first time she got multiple myeloma and was in remission for five years.

Camp Zion
The newest neighbors on my block are Christians, and the husband, Matthew, works at Camp Zion. I’ve been talking with his wife, Hannah, about it and had a desire to see it myself, thinking perhaps the kids at my church would like to go to camp there. Today I called Dale and Carol, the managers of the camp to ask if I could come, get a tour, and take pictures and they said yes. I brought Tucson thinking I’d leave her in the truck while I looked around, but they welcomed her as well. Continue reading
