Dinner with Friends (Ruth’s SOLS)
We walked through our first adoptions together. Our friendship was built around the ups and downs of becoming adoptive parents. That was six years ago. Since then they have adopted three more children and we have adopted two more. Currently they have four kids under the age of five and we have three, ages 9,… Continue reading Dinner with Friends (Ruth’s SOLS)

Board Games (Ruth’s SOLS)
Board games are a very good thing. When the girls first moved home we played them all the time. I'd love to write more, but our Internet has quit & posting from my phone is a little clunky. So this Slice is quite simply: Board games are a very good thing.

Reading Together (Ruth’s SOLS)
“Excuse me Mom,” Sam said as we ended a chapter in The Magician’s Elephant. When he talks like this it always makes me smile. I pause and look at him. “You know, I’ve been thinking about Gloria Dump.” “Gloria Dump?” I raise my eyebrows. “Yes. Gloria Dump. In Because of Winn Dixie. Do you remember?”… Continue reading Reading Together (Ruth’s SOLS)

Words that are Speaking to Me
It's not the fear of writing that blocks people, it's the fear of not writing well; something quite different. --- Scott Berkun

Dessert Club (Ruth’s SOLS)
Usually on Thursdays, always after our kids’ bedtime, we host Dessert Club. It started five or six years ago, because we wanted to get to know the high school kids in our Sunday School class. More than that, we wanted to get to know their friends too. With my love of cooking and Andy’s love… Continue reading Dessert Club (Ruth’s SOLS)
