Today Tabbi, Tre, Tru, and I went to Des Moines. We met Megan briefly at Target then all went to IHOP for lunch. Megan had to go to work at David’s Bridal at noon, and the rest of us went to Blank Park Zoo. All of you reading this are probably familiar with Henry Doorly […]
Choosing What We Think
It’s Friday!!! It’s hectic at work, but the day goes fast. Jon just got home a little before 9:00 and is eating supper. I had some time to do some of my chores, but I didn’t seem to get that much done. Tomorrow I need to go to Des Moines to take some stuff to […]
Too Late and Too Tired
Busy day at work and praise team practice tonight…Jon not home till 8:30 for supper. The day was fine, but a little too long and I’m a little too tired. We’re trying to make some plans for the weekend and start planning a weekend to go see Jon, Kelli, Bria, and Emmy. Have something in […]
Getting Better
Thankfully, Jon is much better. Thanks to all of you who prayed for him. He did stay home today…still pretty wiped out, but he was able to be up and around and eat and drink, so he will go back to work tomorrow if he continues to feel good. Harvest officially started at work today. […]
The Flu–Yuck
Well, apparently the flu is going around!! Jon, Trever, and Tre were all sick today. I thought Tabbi and Tru and I should go out to celebrate their 8th anniversary, but she thought she needed to take care of her family…imagine that. Jon has slept most of the day, so I’m praying he will be […]
Is God a Liar?
Is it just me, or do any of you ever not like yourself? There is sometimes no word for it other than self-loathing. That may sound extreme, but sometimes we are that hard on ourselves. And why? Because we aren’t perfect in form or face? Because we are too _________ (fill in the blank)? Because […]
Sunday
Jon was called out again last night from 10:00 till about 12:45 a.m. We went to church; Megan left around 8:30; Tabbi and boys came before noon till about 5:00. The boys spent most of the time outside riding their bikes as you can see. Talked to Kelli and both Bria and Emmy earlier. About […]
My Favorite Job
This is Jon’s call week…he takes every 5th week from Friday 7:30 a.m. till the following Friday at 7:30 a.m. This morning he went in an hour early, and he’s still working now at 7:30 heading to the 3rd call since just before 4:00 this afternoon. The weather has been perfect all day…there is sometimes […]
Do You Know a Drummer?
I hope all of you had a good day…mine was busy with work, then a walk, cooking supper, baking banana bread (YUM!), then went to praise team practice. Do you know a Christian who can play drums? The great drummer we’ve had the last few years is moving away, and we really need a good […]
Rats
America’s Got Talent, but apparently America’s Got Poor Taste. Who is really going to listen to opera for one and a half hours? In Vegas? He’s obviously talented, but really? Eli Mattson or Nuttin’ But Stringz would have been a hugely better choice. That’s disappointing. I hope someone picks up those two acts and really […]
