I’m sick. I just have a cold. Typical symptoms: cough, stuffiness, watery eyes, fatigue. But I’m ticked about it! I don’t have time to be sick! I have stuff to do. I have things to catch up on after speaking at a women’s retreat about Sabbath Rest! I have a half marathon this upcoming weekend!…

Leaving on a Jet Plane…
Here is a compilation of the New England Autumn beauty I got to experience during my recent trip to Rhode Island and Massachusetts! Here I am enjoying cable TV and room service. Oh,simple joys. Paddling my way? Yes, that is a carved pumpkin! John Hancock’s punny family crest (complete with roosters and a hand!)…

Christmas Update, part I
Dear Beloved, Merry Christmas from the Wayrad household! Our year has flown past! Chasing after two little ones is the most rewarding and exhausting thing I’ve ever done. 2011 has been year full of potty training (for mommy AND baby!) bedtime stories, and celebrating our sixth year of wedded bliss. Life is good… Okay, now…
