"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Dog Sled Races

Elkford has dog sled races every winter down the road from us. We decided to go check out the action on Saturday. It was pretty fun to watch! Maddie loved clapping for everyone when they would cross the finish line. There were two races, one was 7 miles and the other was 40. Luckily for the riders it was a warm day!
