This picture was taken up in Maine last month. Chloe and Tucker love dogs and couldn't keep their paws off this one.

I'm grateful to report that my back is completely better now. It resolved itself with a good night's sleep and I didn't have to go to the chiropractor. God is good!

Last evening we were cleaning up after dinner, enjoying the company of our good friend Clyde, when suddenly the house shook with a loud BOOM! We all ran outside, thinking maybe a car had hit the house. Derrick, our friend and neighbor down the street, called a few minutes later saying he'd heard it too and wondered if we knew what it was. We told him we were as mystified as he but call us if he learned anything. Well, bless him, he checked into it and found out that an unexploded ordnance on the grounds of the nearby Air Force Tracking Station had been discovered and duly exploded. Get this--the bomb (or whatever it is) has been there since the fifties! Jed was a little scared at first but then he thought it was pretty cool, especially when he learned it had been there since just after World War II!
