This post is truly a campfire Chronicle. Thanks to technology, I am writing next to the warmth of a fire on a cool night in Chattanooga. The weekend has been filled with fun, family, and friends. The line, "Is this heaven? No this is Iowa" from the movie Field of Dreams comes to mind. Even with the natural chaos that comes with getting six families together, planning meals, and all of the activities, this weekend has been a great break from the norm and has been a small glimpse of heaven.
And it is the simple things I will remember from this weekend. Laughing until my stomach hurt, watching the young kids do simple things like shoot cans with a BB gun, and enjoying long conversations about anything and everything seem so simple but yet mean so much.
Unfortunately, I can see lightning in the distance and the "crew" is putting everything away, so I am cutting the blog short.
To everyone that I spent time with this weekend, "thank you". It has been fun and I look forward to many more times with you next to the campfire,
