Sometimes I wish I could ask God to 'STOP' time for just a while. But then again, what would 'a while' mean if time was stopped.

Just a quiet walk in the park.

Tonight Millie invited me to join her for her evening walk around Lake Murray. I thought she meant that it would be a great time for us to be alone and talk (as married couples need every so often). I should have known, when she got her headphones out and flipped her iPod to the sound track of Top Gun, that I might be in trouble.

We walked together for about twenty yards and then she was gone.

Maybe that is how she has lost so much weight lately? I didn't even have a chance to say 'good-bye'.

And then, I finally caught up

to her ... wait a minute! She's already heading back - in a full jog.

So much for me thinking I'm in shape. I need to take a lesson from Millie.

I'm proud of you Mil!

Move Over Gerber Baby

Here is the latest picture of my grandson, Beckham Bear Bearchell.


Some say he looks like Bear, others say he looks like Jen. I say he just looks cool - with a personality to match.

A Good Day

Millie, Megan and I spent the first part of the day watching Zach play in the flag football championship, and the second half of the day with Bear and his family. Life is good, and God gave it to us. Thank you God!!!

Imperial Beach, CA

I just spent 3 days at 6th Grade Camp with 66 kids from our school. It was a lot of walking and a lot of watching (camp staff did all the teaching and training). the camp is right on the beach, so it made all the negative stuff melt away into a positive experience for the kids and our staff.

Here area a few sketches for my experience. (Notice anything missing from the pictures? Kids.)
