Karey's Overflow

'Overflow' refers to me having a wide variety of things I do, from writing books, to daily living of a wonderful life, and art work.

Name: Karey
Location: Colorado, United States

I garden at 8000 feet, cook from scratch, needle felt, read books continually, study history and epistemology, write daily, contemplate spiritual theology, and pursue heirloom arts. I love to paint pictures of living beyond maintenance -- living creatively, discovering beauty in everyday ordinary things. I've been happily married to Monte, who is a geologist, for a long time and still very much in love, even after raising a family and building two houses. Our children are our best friends. Heather is newly married to Bill. Travis, a minister of the fine arts, is married to Sarah. And Dawson is in college. I naturally live first-hand and have recently realized that this is how we educated our children and ourselves. I love to learn about everything, teach, and work with my hands. I love my home, but my life has overflowed -- as a teacher, radio/conference/retreat speaker, author, and most recently as a MOPS mentor. Kareyswan.com is an ideal way for me to share my overflowing life with kindred spirits and those hungering to move beyond maintenance -- to be known by who they are, not just by what they do.

Rock Wall

Now that I have my own digital camera I'll be posting more pictures. This is a new rock wall that Monte made. He's going to do more since he's been excavating our property. He says he missed his calling and should be a rock mason. He loved building this. Or could it be too that as a geologist he just loves rocks!

We've had this fire pit for years and had a series of levels for sitting. But the logs have rotted and we needed to enlarge the parking area in front of the house. Thus the rock wall.

We have friends who spend a lot of time around their fire pit. He loves to play with cooking over it and has collected a lot of stuff at yard sales for doing this. He also said almost all of the family's major decisions have been made around the campfire.
