We've continued to have great fall weather all week. Priscilla is hosting her DIQs and directors at the fall retreat at the victorian B&B north of town. Today she had me bring Isaac and Paul to a training session held at the Lawrence Holidome. they did great! Isaac had a Q&A session with the women and Paul recited his poem/chant: Never Give Up! They were quite a hit.

I've sure enjoyed these boys. What a life I've been blessed with! Thank you so much, Jesus!

Well, it seems I can post to the journal using AIM and this bot. Interesting. I'll test it and see what happens.

This autumn has been one of the most beautiful fall seasons I've ever known. Despite the recent turmoil and international problems confronting the U.S. and may nations, I find that having this tranquil spot in the country to be uplifting and a boon to my spirit. Listening to the boys laugh and play in the woods, romping with their dogs, and conducting mock sword fights in these wonderful surroundings is something I never imagined I'd experience. Praise be to God, the giver of good gifts.
