We are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is good to be back for three weeks, as we focus on the many business projects that we have to complete.
As much as Paula and I love The Big House, it is nice to also spend time in a much smaller and virtually maintenance-free home in Charlotte. The weather is rather warm this week around the 90+° mark for each day. I am thankful for the AC and being able to stay inside for the most part.
Tonight Rebecca, one of my sisters who lives in Charlotte and is a couple of years older, is coming over for dinner, and we plan on sorting through some boxes of old pictures from our childhood. We are going to set aside the ones that are worth scanning so that we can preserve them electronically and share them with our other siblings.
There are ten children in our family, and we are blessed that we are all still alive and healthy. The memories of our childhood are precious to us all. As we go through life’s trek together, it is good to have family and friends to encourage us along our way.
Here is one of those pictures of Mom with the ten kids, and then a recent picture of this past Thanksgiving where six of us were able to gather at The Big House. (I am the one on the back right.) Although Mom is no longer with us, Dad is still going strong – healthy and enjoying a life where he does not have to work hard to barely make ends meet. It was a great childhood, and although we were poor by most any standards, we learned to work hard, love always, and make the best of each day.
Thank you for allowing us to share tidbits of our life trek with you as we are...
