Jake:

'The soul of it all'


So. This is my pencil. My M-402 Zebra. Yes, that is what it's really called. Zebra.

Pie heaven again today...



Before going to Not Back to School Camp, Jake *planted* little love notes all over our house for us to find when he was gone, in various and the most-visited places...

This one has been on our bench in the foyer since then...(the heart he photographed yesterday was one he had left on the bathroom mirror)...



I was in my bedroom last night and came out because of Dave and Jake yelling, "OH MY GOD!" (and not in a joyful way!). Dave said, "Kenny's barn is on fire!" Kenny is our neighbor about 1/2 mile down the mountain from us.

We sat and sadly watched it for awhile...hugging each other, saying prayers for Kenny and his family and his animals. Then I noticed a car pulling into Kenny's driveway and driving beyond the fire. I realized his house was back further from the road, into the woods more, and so was his horse barn, in fact.

I told Dave that I was pretty sure that it was a controlled fire...that he must be burning down an old structure. Dave had noticed that no one seemed to be too excited over the fire...while we saw one vehicle with a flashing light, there certainly wasn't the rescue response one would hope for when a barn was burning down!

So we felt happy...and I took a picture...


All IS well...
