Time waits for no one, and the summer hours pass so quickly, So we gathered for a few moments to camp again with the QCMOTC.

Waiting for the bus
Theodore was sick and he stayed home from school. By the time the afternoon bus was to arrive, he wanted to be there for his twin sister Jacqueline when she got home.

Blessed Mornings
So, time and time again I stop and consider just how fortunate I am. I mean life is hectic. Something always gets in the way of something else. Demands on my time seem to have no end. Others come first, and there just seems to be so many 'others'. Days run right into weeks and the top of to-do lists turn upside down, and even start over again. Sometimes I think this pace approaches madness. Early Continue Reading...
