Weekend Recap

Thursday afternoon the boys drove into the lane and got out and found the tire was fast deflating.  So after supper I looked out and found all four kids getting that tire off.  This is the small kind of thing I'm glad I have pictures of.  Because they won't all go work on a tire together probably ever again.  Next time I blink Z will be graduated and Keagan will be driving. 

Ball game Friday night. 







We went to a sale barn on Saturday and sold some hay.  I wish I could have gotten a picture of the two Arab ladies sitting beside the chickens for sale and waiting for their dark skinned muscled bald men. 

She adores  him.  

Matt was telling them all something terribly important.  Hand motions and all....but when I asked what it was none of them knew. 

Pick me Pick me! 

After the Sale barn we picked up a giant load of cedar mulch and came home and mulched.  And later that night I went out to check things and found it to be magical out there with the lights and fresh cedar mulch and frogs croaking..... and then I heard the cats fighting in the little barn.  

Sunday afternoon I read a book and went back to the tower to check things.  I found the snowball bushes blooming fully and no one to see them but me.  It is truly magical exploring that old homestead every week or so. 

And then today we went to the Beth's and helped her and the kiddos do some landscaping and mulching.  



Logan the dog is gonna love our work we did there!


And a moment of which  I don't have pictures.  Sunday morning after Sunday School class I came back to our family bench to wait for my family to get back from their classes. While I was waiting I saw a dad with a small boy come down the aisle.  An older gentleman who served in the Vietnam War   came out of the bench and up the aisle  and met them.  When he got to the dad and small boy he got down on the level of the little boy and shook his hand quite solemnly and then stood up and marched on out.  The Dad had a huge smile on his face and so did the small boy.  And THAT my friends is what every person world over wants.  To be noticed and respected and for someone to take them seriously and for someone to be interested in them.  Size  and all the differences were irrelevant.

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....
