.House Moving and Other Summer Fun.

So I took lots of pictures this morning.  We were up and out of here at 7:15 this morning so we could watch the house go down the road.  It actually happened and we have a house over there!  Reality is fun today....:)

Yesterday we stopped by to watch...This was just when they  were getting it up and  ready to move off the foundation.

The guys who did the job for us.....He claims he could move the house so smoothly and level that a glass of water on the counter during the drive would still be there when he arrived at his destination.....  He looked like he knew what he was doing.

This morning about 7:45....  

Monkey on the roof took care of the branch.

Coming up over the interstate.  It didn't even fall over. 

There was another branch hold up here.....


Almost there. 

Roadside watchers.....

Arrived!  


Talking....

getting everything ready to slide over

It's Rolling.....That was fun to watch.

Two beams out...getting closer.

down onto the new basement....and that's as good as it got before I took my dirty tired hungry boys home.  
There were a lot of fun things to see along the way and while we watched the house movers do there thing....

ditch weed.

a big bird way up in the sky...

One of the little roadside watchers.....

Crop duster....

Our Lydia....

And Mathias.....He and Lydia were having issues....

The man who keeps the world turning over there and here.....

He keeps things active too....

cousins playing.

He's enjoying all this....glad for us and can tell us lots of history about this place. 

Pop break....

History repeating itself....

favorite cousins.

 Great Grandpa gave Keagan a little coloring book and crayons.  He couldn't  wait to get home to color....the floor of the car works too....

The boys had to reenact what went on this morning...
   And Summer is complete when we have watermelon to gnaw on ....

House doesn't need a lot of work...lots of paint and cleaning and some flooring. The new laundry room/ entry room is being added on already. We aren't rushing the move....but hope to have things ready in a month or so.....we'll see.

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
