I thought I’d do one more post with pictures of the water in black and white before I let it all go and move on. Black and white photos have a timelessness about them, an aura that transcends the generations.
My family tells me that the dam washed out in 1944 too. These black and whites […] Read more…

The Aftermath Part 2 – A Lake On Overload
Yesterday was an exhausting one for all of us who live here on the lake and along its rivers. As the waters rose and rushed over bridges, families desperately tried to save their homes from its fury. Many were evacuated as dams above and below us threatened to collapse under the force of the rushing […] Read more…
The Aftermath
We are all fine!! Thank you all for your prayers. We are so blessed to have all of you praying for our family and appreciate your prayers immensely.
Just as the hurricane approached, we realized we’d better turn over the trampoline.
So in the midst of the drenching rain, Mark and Evan ran out and turned it […] Read more…
A Hurricane and a Birthday!
It’s raining gently here in South Jersey. We are hunkering down and settling in for a long weekend indoors, and hopefully a cozy and dry one!

Well, I fell in love.
I loved its pink romantic […] Read more…
Sunday Snapshot a Little Late
We had a busy day of suiting up and schlepping some of our kids back and forth to summer camp.
By dinner time, there was a little girl who had had enough of indoor play and being buckled in her car seat.
So we braved the dreadful humidity,
and the vampire like mosquitoes,
and drug her brothers away from […] Read more…
