Wow, Gotta love this time of year !!

It's that time of year again. Twins have been having a great year, a new ball field, and Thome is on a home-run streak. He has already passed Mark Maguire.



And, now tonight, GO VIKINGS !!!!!! They open the football season with a re-match of the game that decided Vikings-Saints in the Super Bowl.


If you love both teams, it is pure enjoyment and excitement.

Where has the summer gone ??!!

I have started school shopping, and have to reflect on the past few months. Where did the time go?? My son spent the first weeks of his vacation at his grandmas, then a week and half later, he went on a mission trip. Came home went on a church youth houseboat trip, an urban mission trip, was home 1 1/2 days and is currently on a Boy Scout canoeing trip. And, he turns 16 2 weeks from today !!! ( And where did THAT time go ? )

As a child I heard people over 40 ( you know OLD people) say the older you get, the faster time flies. They were right, and now, I'm the ( OLD ) person saying it.

My son got his 1st car, while it has problems, it is a nice car. He will take his driving test Aug 30. So, for all you locals - you HAVE been WARNED !!! Actually, he is a good driver.

And, just think, 4 1/2 months until 2011 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Mothers Day , Mom

I LOVE MY MOM, she helped make me who I am. She gave me the building blocks and then guided me until adulthood. Then she was always there cheering and still is.

My mom is not a big floral bouquet fan, but she does love her green plants. So, here is a Peace plant, just because it is green and white and so beautiful.

Concert with my son

My son Allen and I attended his 1st real concert. We saw the Newsboys. Allen likes contemporary Christian music, which warms my heart ! And these guys are among his favorites. So having a chance to see them so close to home was too amazing to pass up.

To say Allen LOVED the concert would be an understatement !! I was thrilled, amazed and blown away at the way my son watched and participated in the concert. I am not sure which I enjoyed more, watching the concert or watching my son enjoy the concert.

I think we will have to do this again, maybe with Dad next time if it all works out ( it did not this time). There is something so special when so many people gather to hear the word of God and enjoy music at the same time. Glad Allen and I got to be a part of something so special.

EARTH DAY

We do not inherit this planet from our parents, we are BORROWING it from our children !!

Everyone should do their part. I am distressed more each year at the litter I see thrown out on the highway when I go to and from work. I feel like the Indian in the commercials from the early seventies, looking at the pollution and turning towards the camera, has a tear running down his face.

Happy 8th Anniversary Lindy and Ty

Wow, Has it really been 8 years ??

Seems like just yesterday we were getting all the food lined up, had discovered some flowers were missing, the waist on your dads pants was broken and your mom was a basket of nerves. I remember Rick trying to joke with me, but I was to the point of NO return. LOL

Your wedding was beautiful !!

What a wonderful life you two have started, 3 girls and each other.

Hope your day is awesome !!!

Happy Easter

What a glorious day !!!! There was a light rain during the night and the air is crisp and fresh. Plans are in place for a joyful family get together and then, a nice Sunday nap.

My granddaughters will be here in new dresses and eager to get the baskets the Easter Bunny left here by " mistake".

Life is good. Life is something to be appreciated and never taken for granted. Jesus did that for us. He died for our sins.

I try to find 1 thing everyday to wonder and revel in. A flower, a bird, a beautiful landscape or my amazing children and grandchildren. I am blessed !!!
