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!

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....
