Isaiah 40:30-31

Isaiah 40:30-31
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Every time we see these guys playing in the yard I think of Gods word and his promises.
May you find hope in the Lord

Beecher's Cheese

............Emily, was thrilled (not!) when her mother showed up at her place of employment with camera in tow. I thought that's what tourists do in Pikes Market. I took pictures of many other working folks that day, and they seemed happy to have their photos snapped. Now, a little about Beecher's artisan cheese. It's made right there at the corner of Pike Place and you cn watch them hard at work through the window. It brings me back to my childhood days when we would go on field trips to the local cheese factory in Zittau, Wisconsin. They are happy to provide you with samples and their knowledgeable staff will direct you to choosing just the right cheese for the occasion. Their Mac and Cheese is the best--after a taste you will never go back to Kraft. I would highly recommend a visit if in the area.
