our only peony

Our family has been a bit overwhelmed by injury, the end of school hecticness, visitors, summer school, home projects, and so much more.  In case you wondered, we have shared our gratitudes with each other every day, we just haven't managed to post them.  Things should be back to normal in July, thank the good Lord.  ~ Relyn
