ThanksGiving in San Carlos, Ca


How beautiful are these two redheads? Danielle spent her third west-coast T-Day with Aaron's family. They'll be spending Christmas in SD with our whole fam!! Yippeeee!!

*Taking an off-handed poll: yeah or nay on D's new doo? I love it. Very festive for the Holidays. My favorite story about the rainbow color is her managing editor, Eric, razzing her about the splashy color asking, "What would your mother think?" Then he backtracked mid-sentence, "Oh wait, your mom's hair is just as crazy!"

Bring your own ball to the kindergarten room! After doing her research, our fabulous K teacher, Donna Elliott, ditched the chairs and blew up the balls.

Mayo Clinic says the exercise bouncers are better for posture and help release pent-up energy throughout the day which leads to better concentration. Can we really expect 5-year-olds to park it for 4 hours in a hard chair? Give me a break!!!

My college roomie, Cyn, says after guest-teaching for kindergartners, "Those dat-gum k'ers will kill ya!" Obviously they don't have bouncing energy-expending balls in Cali!

Cork it, Wilma!


After a dusky 12-miler, the endorphines were firing! But so was the verbage! The only answer to the motor-mouth dilemma...tape. So excited the mom was with the geese squawkin' overhead, the full moon and the perfect ride as the sun was setting. Who wouldn't be runnin' off at the mouth with all that Joy? But it was too much for Gabers and Elissa.

Just for the love of it

The clamoring crowd



The natives are a bit restless, hankering for a New Post on the murch blog. Apparently the earthquake seisometer has grown tiresome. Predictably, it is the dat-gum journalists who started the rumble; earth shaking news has a short shelf-life.

However, I admit to marginal boredom myself with the murch blog of late; always waiting for Holy Inspiration before plunging headlong.

NEWS: I just spent the weekend with JoyFul and Nathaniel in FarGo eating, movie watching and hand holding during church. (Of course, we neglected to take photos.) We saw "Into the Wild" which lingers as an after-taste in the mind. Troublesome and fascinating, all at the same time.

THANKSGIVING THOUGHT for 2007 from the Heidelberg Catechism: “What is our only comfort in life and in death? That we are not our own, but belong- body and soul, in life and in death— to our faithful Savior Jesus Christ.”

I daresay if this gem was brought before the mind intensely, the Glory of it would work transformation. Now that's a long shelf-life.

Happy Blessed ThanksGiving to all
