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.

Independence Day

We spent 4th of July in Ft Collins at Travis & Sarah's home. It was a great day with friends and family. Travis did the yummy ribs and we all brought the rest of the food and drinks.

Dawson brought his ... like walking on a tight rope, but only a foot or so above the ground. I can't imagine doing it high off the ground, but then they have safety nets. I think I might be able to do it with holding a pole to help balance. Some people kept trying all afternoon and got pretty good. And they set up the bean-bag toss game.

Dawson set up his camera on a tripod at the fireworks in the park and snapped tons of pictures with a remote while laying on a blanket. So I'm posting one of his pictures. He'll probably play with some of his pictures and post them on his photoblog soon (He's backpacking right now).

We stayed the night. Dawson and Splara made us breakfast. We had a great time!

It's raining now! Yeah!!!!! My rain dance worked! Yesterday was the first rain in a couple weeks. We really needed it.
