The new hobby



Yes, fishing has become the hobby of choice, especially for Addison. He caught his first fish this summer, at Bruce Wagenmaker's cottage and with his guidance. Now, he wants to fish at every opportunity. Grandpa was kind enough to find a great fishing hole in Coshocton for the grandkids. No luck this time, but the love remains.... until he got home, rode his bike, and decided he wanted a racing bike like the triathletes on TV.

Things that make you go hmmm.....


Coshocton Square Dancing






Every summer, on the first Saturday evening of August, my Uncle Larry hosts a community/family square dance. Everyone is invited; including those of us who weren't allowed to square dance during gym class due to our 'testimony'. Although our learning curves were steep, Andy and I have eventually caught up with most of the adults; however, some dancers still annually swing outside of our coordination.

This summer, I spent most of my time partnered with Addison, and Jaelyn spent time dancing with her dad and cousin, Keith. Jaelyn had a look of pure delight punctuated with giggles during the entire evening. Addison enjoyed it immensely too; he even allowed himself latitude to laugh through his mistakes.

Family, fun, laughter, and dancing. I think it made Jesus smile.
