There's No Place Like Home

Katie and Holly try to acclimate our bird Sparky to the great out-of doors.
At least we didn't lose him.

Like every family, we have our good sides and our bad sides. We like us a lot. That’s good. We don’t know what to do for a day off. That’s bad.

I think it’s genetic. I know I’m fun-impaired. But even Joanie and I can get out of the house and DO something. Many times our girls don’t want to go anywhere for a day off. So it’s been a prayer request: What in the world can we do that’s fun for a day off as a family?

One more Monday came and Joanie and I tried to make suggestions. No go. Too tired. Okay, why don’t we just do it in the backyard? We pulled out a camp blanket, put it out in the shade, made some sandwiches, got our bedtime story book, and went into the backyard. We even put Sparky’s cage out there, and risked him in the great out-of-doors.

We figured it out finally: we really like it at home. Thanks for answered prayer, Lord.
