Easing slowly into life without the kids at home, remembering what we did before we had kids and loving God through it all.

Safe or Crazy?
Well, it depends if you are Dan or Jan. One of us has ordered an eight-man tent and a kit with supplies (food, crank-up radio, water filtration thingy, first aid supplies), plus two more sleeping bags for our earthquake preparedness supplies. And, the other of us thinks he is going to check into the nearest hotel when the big shake occurs. Oops, I gave it away! Ha, bet you already knew who was busily gathering supplies for the big shake. Maybe it's because I am a mom and if the kids are home, they'll be looking at me to see where they'll be sleeping. Maybe it's because I dread the thought of having to spend the night in the backyard in the cold/wet/who knows. Or, maybe I just sleep better knowing that I have at least made an effort to be prepared. The email string went like this: I sent Dan the link to a tent on sale at Costco. He wrote back, "no thank you, I'll be staying at a hotel." I wrote back, "I'll let you share it with me after the big one hits." He conceded. I bet it's because he knows he can't take Lucy to the hotel!!! And, I'll be the first one to find a hotel because Holiday Inn is the nearest I get to camping. But, you just never know . . .

OMG you finally posted!!! Yay! This post actually made me laugh out loud and almost snort. :) My first thought half way through your blog was about Lucy... do you think she'd stay in our tent? Thanks for getting enough supplies for your daughters. Such a good mom!
And, I'm glad I get hightened need for safety from you. If it were up to Dad we'd just have a stash of beef jerky.
Your comment about the beef jerky cracked me up!!!
This is hysterical, you in a tent! With Dan! And the dog! I will pray for no earthquakes for y'all!
