sisters

Dear blog people,

if you read our posts, thanks !

I'd like to share a bit about my 'little' sister.

 

She is younger but taller.

Louder but definitely more witty.

 

Stronger and more brunette-ish.

Smart in medicine and very pretty.

I love her.

 

And I'm proud to be her blog manager,

while she is in medical school.

Enjoy !

CD - Fear Not

I would like to share a CD with all of you.

I recorded most of the songs 6 years ago and the others about 8 years ago.

[if you're on Facebook, you may have already seen this.]

I wrote all of them, except the last one, which is by Leon and Crystal Sandoval.

Click HERE or click the photo to check it out.

You can download the songs for FREE !

Yippee.

Enjoy.

I thank Jesus for these songs and the lessons I continue to glean from them.

ps - That's my horse Molly.  

I gave her to a great neighbor family before moving to France.  

She's in good hands, and I can see her whenever I visit California.

Lunch

It was a fun, sunny November afternoon in Nice.

I wore my wetsuit (sooooo thankful)...the MEN were tough, though.

Water is chilly, not freezing, but my wetsuit kept my lips from turning purple =)

Seb, we like hanging out with you.

Thanks for being so much fun.
