Suddenly Summer and Schools Out!


We hit a few garage sales yesterday and found some cool buys.  Mathias and I were both so pleased with this chess case and game.  
I found a comforter that matched Jeanie's room perfectly.  She loves her big bed and huge pile of pillows! 

Combed out her hair and had to have another picture of that hair! 

This is a lovely tree that
stands alone along the road.  Trees are more beautiful to me than they've ever been.  Nebraska plains make one see  trees in a different light.


 Zerrick has had enough adventures now with needle and thread.  And bandages.  So on school picnic ball game he got hit with the ball and had to have two layers of stitches put in.  The following Wednesday we were scheduled to get the screws out from his break last October.  So till the week was done I had a stitched up limping boy.  As of this morning the Friday night head stitches are out and he's working on cleaning up the ankle bandage.    I'm really ready to be done with ER visits and Orthopedic visits, 



My Mother's Day roses.  They were amazingly beautiful this year!





Last Day of school.  We thew it all in a basket and left for town and the park and ice cream.  

My flowering crab did a beautiful job this spring.  
And in between all the pictures we do normal life.     Sometimes I have to document it so that when I look back I know what we were doing during this crazy part of life.

     A new family just moved in yesterday.  They have all adult kids and they've farmed all their lives and they're starting over in a way.  I watched all the stuff go into the tiny town house and thought that I think I'd be ready to move again.  Having a look over all the stuff and clearing away and throwing and saving only what's needed.  Think how clarifying that would be?  I  try to do that every year or every six months but somehow I don't think it's the same. 
    Summer came just suddenly with hardly any spring.   So now all these summer projects are facing me and I still didn't do the spring ones.    As soon as we get Z's cuts all healed up though.....kayaking and fishing and lazy summer days coming up.  This summer we only get about 8 weeks vacation before School starts up again so we're going to intentionally get some of those fun things in.  This summer we want a wide clear cold stream to camp beside and it must have lots of fish and we need trees for the hammocks.  If anyone has a favorite place anywhere in Nebraska or with in 5 hours from here lets us know. 
       So.....till school starts in again......ta ta!

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.
