Beautifully Sunny, Ridiculously Cold

That's the weather update around here. But at least there isn't snow -- which is no guarantee there won't be any more snow. Still, here's hoping against it!

I'd like to make an excuse for not blogging these past two weeks, especially considering -- my youngest son turned 25 -- a pretty significant birthday, don't you think? But I was too busy to blog about him, his accomplishments, the blessing he is to our family.  I'd need a really good excuse to make up for that! But in Sunday School this morning someone shared a Ben Franklin quote, something to the effect that a person who is good at making excuses is rarely good for anything else. I don't want to be that person. So, no excuse.
