A Preview of Our Vacation

We finally broke away from it all and took a little vacation.  After much changing of the mind we  decided on Lake McConaughy.  It was a lovely choice as all the summer crowd had left and we were left alone on long stretches of beautiful sandy beaches.  Our closest neighbors were the sea gulls.  And they loved to eat our bits and pieces.  
 We spent two nights on the sand and the last two nights below the dam because of a wind storm.  The coffee, the sand and water and sun, the time to watch my boys play and interact, the times to talk with my man, the campfire food and the time with friends were all a success.  We came home in good health and tired as could be.

So I have tons of pictures but not any more time to play and load.  Maybe I can come back tomorrow and show you more when I get done with my applesauce.    Have a good week....

Ah, I'm jealous (but so glad for you)! The water looks beautiful and inviting and restful. Isn't it interesting how the kind of tired you are after a good vacation away, is different from the "tired" you feel from the daily grind at home? Good to step away now and then and experience the other kind of tiredness......

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....
