A post about nothing.....

     It's Friday evening and Matt has the two littles and Zerrick and I finished up the basement work and are enjoying the quiet.  I found myself with 2 minutes of no pressure to BE and DO right now.  Feels really nice.    
     I'm feeling nostalgic. Summer is going away already.  During those hot hot days when we spent all our time cleaning up sand and water and getting wet again to survive I thought they would go on longer....  But now they're gone.  Now we have to have shoes or something on our feet because the grass actually does get cold at night.  And the pricklies are pokie.  It's time for fall applesauce and tomatoes.  Making rolls for market even smells different.  Cinnamon is a fall smell....I can get a little jump/ tickle over the smell of cinnamon in the fall compared to in the Summer.  I bet you do too.
    And it's the time of year where we start to think that we went through the whole summer and we didn't go camping even once!  How dumb was that?  So we frantically check our schedule and manipulate it so we can have a weekend off.    We're bad like this about budgets too.    But this summer we're chalking it all up as house moving hindrances.  Which is a good thing really.
    Tomorrow is the first Saturday in a long time where I can sleep in and decide if I really NEED to start a project or if I want to play all day.
Here's my list of things to do if I want to:                       Paint things
                                                                                  Paint more things
                                                                                      Paint ceilings
                                                                                  Help Matt insulate.
                                               Plan a cook out for whoever will come and help us all day.
                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                     
I probably won't do any of it.  But if I did I'd feel pretty good about things.  Saturdays are so unpredictable.
                      So anyhow, have a good weekend, Amy

Don't feel too bad for missing cmaping this summer...IMO spring and fall are the best times to go anyway. :-) So, what DID you do with your Saturday then? I know what you mean about how unpredictable they can be....
So wish I could be seeing your house improvements in real life!

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.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
