Motocross

Tomorrow Klint will be motocross racing. Doug and I plan to be there with him and Calli. This is Klint and Calli's RV. Klint had the decals made for it. I thought they looked pretty cool, especially the Galatians 5:14! To keep up with them and their racing visit VE Racing.

Hope you all have a very good Sunday.

My SIX unimportant things about myself:

1. This morning I saw my neighbor at the post office and he asked, "HI! Are you enjoying summer?" ...Right now my toes are freezing.

2. I don't like brussel sprouts, but I love cooked cabbage ...??? Aren't sprouts, baby cabbages? But I don't like baby corn either - but love corn-on-the-cob. Which reminds me, my daughter left corn-on-the-cob in my refrigerator! I better cook them.

3. I hate dieting, but every day I am snitching on a diet.

4. My toenails need to be trimmed and redecorated.

5. I doodle while I talk on the phone. My family read my doodles to figure out who I've talked to while they've been away.

6. I did this meme backwards, I just noticed. I was supposed to put this list on first then the names of those I tagged. :-|

Have fun!

Family Update

How about an update on my whole family today?

Doug, continues to commute to Anchorage usually leaving at five a.m.! He gets home early though so that is nice.

Me, I keep busy here at home. I did some flower garden work! Planted some dianthus, marigolds, lobelia, petunias and now I'm working on a small patch to plant a few sunflowers in. I always dream of having sunflowers as tall as I had at my other house. Ten feet tall. So far, no!

Marie moved out of our house so now lives in her own apartment, I miss her but now she stops by to say hi and now she has been working on a vegetable garden here at the lake. I love when she comes to check on it and peeks in on us. Marie blogs so it's fun to see whats been on her mind there.

Karla has been busy with wedding stuff, she is a wedding coordinator and she makes the beautiful everything! She makes save the date cards and custom to the couple and what they like or theme they want for their weddings. So she has been really busy with all of that lately. Her family has been playing baseball, going camping... but you can keep up with her at her blog too!

Kim and her family have been coming a lot to my home and I love it. The kids have been fishing in our little dory. Oh my, I didn't get out there to get a picture either. They are so cute. Ashlee caught a few pan-fryers, which she ended up putting the living ones back because she catches them then fills a bucket with lake water and saves them in there all day. One died so she ate that one. :-)

Klint and Calli, our very good neighbors, have been busy going to work and Klint has been working on his racing quad, cleaning his RV. Klint is a very neat person and so is always busy making things neat around here. He also got the shop siding pretty much done with the help of Doug and Kris.

Kris has flown off to Arizona --- AGAIN! There is a purdy young lady out there who has his head turned. He finished his college classes for the year and now has an Associates degree. Hopefully he will find a summer job when he gets back.

We all have been to the races for two weekends now. Kim's family is not racing this summer so the weekend is not as busy. Klint has been doing really well but Kris had troubles with his quad both racing weekends and didn't get to race much.

So that was an update on our family.

I'm So Dizzy... My Head Is Spinnin'

I am feelin' dizzy for no reason - so I thought I would check the recent quakes. There have been so many in the last 12 to 24 hours. Yikes!

Are you still remembering to pray for and SUPPORT/AID China's people as they recover from the incredible quake they had? Upwards of 80,000 souls expected to be lost, wow.

The number of confirmed dead from the massive May 12 quake rose to 68,109 on Wednesday, up 1,000 from the day before, China's cabinet confirmed. Another 19,851 people are reported missing, and the government says it now fears the final death toll will be more than 80,000. CBC.CA

I can't help but remember the previous requests for prayer for Christian's being persecuted in China and in North Korea. I wonder how things go for those Christian's in light of this recent natural(?) disaster.

Pray that God will protect Christians who are providing relief right now. MNN.

Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven...
