Tales from the woods of Minnesota....

We had a great time together with Ryan, Katie, Logan, Gavin, and "Baby Bump" Braley.

We visited the "apple orchard", but it was too early to pick apples because of the cool, wet spring and summer.

We bought apples from a lady from Venezuela that Ryan can communicate with as he and Katie had spent time in South America 6 years ago on a YWAM mission trip...

The boys enjoyed going to see "Kung Fu Panda" movie...so did I....

Logan showed how he rides his bike (with training wheels) down their long drive way...He is FEARLESS ! Gavin was well prepared with his new "Cars" helmet...


Gavin, Logan and I took a stroll in the wagon to the cemetery that is just up the hill from the Braley home....I have always been fascinated with the history in cemeteries...especially the "old" ones.

We got to go to the State Fair and ate pizza, ice cream and of course funnel cake....I passed on the corn dogs, root beer, strawberries and cream....but it is not a vacation without ice cream.

Another highlight was Sunday church service....the congregation prayed over Ryan and the travel team before they left for Texas in a church planting seminar.

Logan & Gavin have a new super hero...Bible Man!

I love their house and especially the way that Katie has decorated it.

I miss then all and can't wait to see them again...SOON!

On the road again

Heading to Minnesota to see the Braley Boys and new baby (?).
Katie and Ryan have lots of plans for us...movies, food and of course the "State Fair!"

Stay tuned for updates later this week....

"I Did It !!!!

Today Fred and I scraped together my attempt to be a part of the "blog nation"....

I am not sure that I understand hpw to do this, or if I will even like "blogging".

I chose the title "New Mercies Every Morning" from Lamentations 3:23 which the Lord reminded me of last week during my daily morning walk with Him.

I love the Lord because he first loved me...

After the Lord, my second priority is my family...Husband...Children...Grandchildren and our entire extended family that I miss very much.
