Today I cried over the death of a man I had never met. I knew him through his many videos in which he had real conversations with college students. He was conservative politically. Most importantly, he loved Jesus — his greatest message. A message that will live on.
Well done, Charlie Kirk. You will be missed.
(Dad writes today! After 15 years of this blog, we are both running out of steam to write regularly. But never fear! I will post when I feel like it, as will Dad. Thank you for checking in! ~ Tracy)
Derf Here!
Enjoying another summer day here in the Northeast. But we need some rain! Please send us rain to eliminate our drought.
Well, Kim, Joe, and Kaelen made it back home to Illinois after two days of driving. They had some important appointments to make, and I hope they have done so by now. I am sure that they have a lot of friends out there that can help them out if necessary. Hope that the family enjoys being home.
Derf is retiring from writing a weekly blog post with this one. I have not much else to say. I will write a post when something big comes along. If I receive many words of encouragement to continue writing posts, then I might....
But so long for now. It's been fun!
Toodle Pip!
Derf!
For fans of Derf, please check back next week for his next post. He and I both forgot about the blog until this evening. Actually, I've been forgetting about it for a long time! Oh, well. 😬
Kim, Joe, and Kaelen postponed their departure by a week. They will be leaving this Sunday morning, so the planned Ken's Place dinner will take place this Saturday evening.
College football has started... the non-official start of Fall.

I started and finished this jigsaw puzzle yesterday. Actually I finished it in the wee hours of this morning, but it still was before I went to bed. (I'm not doing any more puzzles during my vacation since I need to get some sleep!)
So I misspoke ... posting on my blog despite my vacation. But I couldn't wait to share a photo of this beautiful jigsaw puzzle that I completed! Started it Friday afternoon and finished it yesterday morning. Only 500 pieces and they were a nice size, so easy to work with.
Name of puzzle is Van Gogh's Sunflowers. Puzzle artist is Frances Bloomfield. This "Artpiece Puzzle" is from the company Pomegranate.
