This was the title of my mom’s e-mail a few minutes ago.
My sister, brother-in-law and nephew have made it to Montana safe and sound.
As mentioned here, it’s a LONG way from Minnesota to Montana. I hope they LIKE Montana, now that they’ve moved there. :)

My wonderful husband has spent the last two days cleaning our house (with tons to do still). So what do I do when I get home and see the result of his work?
1. “Ooh” and “ahh” about how good the living room looks. (We have a sofa AND a floor. Who knew?!?)
2. Moan and groan [...]

But without the sores. :)
I went to work out at Curves today for the first time in weeks. Today is the 13th of the month, and my first workout of the month. Ouch.

The new view from a new room

The new fellowship hall at my dad’s church was consecrated today. The space also has classrooms, pastor’s study, and a gorgeous kitchen, among other things. The church has been working on this project, in one way or another, for decades. One former pastor, who has been attending the church [...]
