Idaho Trip Scenery....

We took a summer trip to Idaho and then through Yellowstone on the way home.  It was the perfect time for the fun stuff of Idaho, like fishing mountain lakes and picking huckleberries.  We had a lovely time.  Some time I'll post people pics....when I have time.
     But for now, these are the times I wish I were a photographer:

Mom's flower beds

Hornet nest at the back of my parents place.

More of Mom's flower beds.

Indian paintbrush 

hard earned huckleberries.  In case they seem not very important I must tell you these things are snatched up at 30 dollars a gallon!  I call them an Idaho delicacy.  But it was fun picking them.....


Idaho Mountain picnic.  My feelings of disgust over the most horrible road up to that  meadow had almost subsided by then

A most coveted trout .  This guy tasted most amazing off of Matt's grill that night. 

The coveted berry again. 

Going into Yellow stone. West side.

Tiny hot spring along the way.

Amazing moss by the little hot spring.

At the Canyon stop.




my one lowly picture of the Grand Tetons out my window....


And the God I serve created all that amazing and diverse scenery!    It was a good trip.

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....
