It’s a long drive from Phoenix back to home, luckily it’s almost all freeway and usually in the middle of the day so it isn’t an awful drive, just a long one. While I am always thankful for clear roads (strangely my patience seem to do better with those) I am even more thankful after …

Awhile back our board (IFCR) received a request/invitation for one of us to attend a conference a family was holding in Albuquerque, NM. Considering our board consists of folks much further east of New Mexico than I am west of it I said I’d go. Not having a clue as to what I was going …
Johnny Rockets, a luau birthday party, church. All places we attended a few weekends ago. All places Lily had seizures.
