Where I spend my days.

So this is my desk area of my classroom.

Things to notice:

The empty coffee cup!  That makes me sad

Donald Duck is on my desk.  Its an older bobble head. I friend of mine had him in his office but very kindly passed him on to me.

In the far corner beside my “B” is my Donald Duck metal that I got for completing my first 1/2 Marathon in Jan.  This weekend will be my second 1/2 Marathon, its in Fargo.  So looking forward to it.

Any How, this is where I spend most of my days, unless I out and about visiting the participants in our program.

6 years in the making!

I know I have not posted in awhile I am hoping to change that!

I was doing some reading and writing at work when my screen saver kicked in on my Mac when these 2 photos came up. They made me smile! The first photo was taken the first time we took the girls down to Walt Disney World (2004) and the last photo was the last family trip down in Oct of 2010

Have fun!

Long weekend Camping and Golf

Okay can you believe it.  This was the first time I have actually went Golfing.  I had a lot of fun, but no pictures!  And to be honest I sucked at it, but it was a lot of fun.

Camping, is so much more fun with a lot of people.  We went camping with 4 other families, wow that was a lot of fun.  We borrowed a tent trailer, we were not sleeping on the ground, so that was great.  I think that we actually got the camping bug. A lot of the discussion, on the way home, was about buying a camper.  We all got excited about the idea.  The catch is though, that I need to get a JOB first!

The idea of going back to work is a very daunting to say the least.  I have no real formal experience teaching, plus it has been a very long time, since,  I actually had a job.  EEK.

Here is hoping!

A week in Brandon

Last Wednesday when we were with Joy’s Parents, Dad was telling me about their church project.  They have started an addition to their church and to cut costs they are trying to do most of the work with volunteers. So after a lot of prayer and a bit of thought I decided to go and spend the week in  Brandon helping out.  It has been a blast! Yesterday we put up the steel beams, well okay the crane did we just had to make sure they went in the right place.  Its was cool to watch and help and realize the the entire upper floor is gonna rest on the beams.

It kinda made me think of beams and foundations and realizing if you are not set soundly it is very easy to go wacky.  In a lot of ways.   This week I have been thinking a lot of what my foundation is set on.  The easy answer is GOD, but I wonder sometimes if my life is showing that.  Or does it seem to others that I am a bit wacked.   And is it a bad thing if others think I am a bit wacky.

UHM do I dare ask that?

Just what I am thinking

Us Summer 2009

Okay I have to admit this was a perfect evening.  We ‘tried’ to have a fire in our fire pit, but we ended up having a blazing smoke instead.  I need to work on my fire starting skills, my scouts leader would have hung his head in shame tonight.  So instead we decided to hang out on the trampoline but it got cool quickly so a few blankets and pillows were snagged from inside. Then we started cloud watching but then twilight was making it hard to see clouds  and the stars were poking through.  It was so cool to be together just cuddling, joking and just being a family.   For me tonight was a PERFECT evening.   Early I was disappointed  because the fire wasn’t working, the girls were doing there own thing…….

But now I am reminded of my blessings

Thank you GOD!

Another year at Corn and Apple

Well another year as came and went.  Summer is officially winding down and Fall is kickin’ in!  That is what Corn and Apple really means to me.
