Catching some ZZZs more than fish.

My poor mini van I take it off-off road. I sure do miss my trucks!

Memorial Day May 25, 2009
Today I went out to take care of my apiary. The bees are doing alright considering that we had a really cold snap right after I installed them.

Elder P and Mother's Day
I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to my son on Mother's day. He is doing well and is having fun as a missionary. He has lost enough weight that his size smaller pants are falling off him. We sent him out with 2 sizes of pants. I may have to have him buy a new suit.
He sends through us his thank you's for the cards and letters that he received. And he thanks you for the prayers. A few months ago, he and his companion were nearly hit by a bus.
He said Coaldale is much like Maryville in size. So it is kinda like being at home.
He sent a card that said that next Mother's Day he will be there. With XOXOXOXO.
What a wonderful son!

Well as of April 30th Elder P has been out ONE year. He sent me a Mother's Day card and in it he wrote that he would be here for the next one. One year left. He is doing well. On April 22nd he was transferred to Coaldale which is just outside of Lethbridge Canada. They have been working hard teaching people.

Maryville Sunset
This evening I was out taking pictures of one of our beautiful sunsets that can be seen in town.
I just clicked pictures until the sun went down. Some are zoomed in. I saved them in my Utah trip folder so they are labeled Utah. The pictures were taken after Amber's gymnastics performance on Monday April 20, 2009.

Utah Trip Accident
We had many angels watching over us! And I had my seat belt on. I have decided the next car we get is going to be a Chevy Suburban, or a Ford or Dodge that is just the same size. It was a great car. We were protected.
What a trip!
Wow! What a trip to Utah. I had the wonderful opportunity to see some family. I went for the purpose of seeing my dear Grandma.
On the way there was an interesting adventure. We got into an accident. As soon as I figure out how to do a slide show I will post the pictures.
I am home safe and sound now. Needing a little chiropractic work, time for bruises to heal-but here now.

Turn On The Light Bulb!
Howdy Y’all!
I have come to a realization this week. Before Elder P left for his mission I had several people tell me “Oh you will be so blessed for having a missionary out.” I have looked hard high and low for where the blessing were. In the last 4 months we have been socked in the gut financially. First it was my thumb, then Darren’s toe, then one of his teeth (filling) cracked in half, and then when we got home from the dentist we found an IRS tax bill in our mailbox. We have scrambled around for the money to pay it.
But this last week I realized we have been greatly blessed. When I say “we” I mean my entire family.
• Elder P. has had safety and protection while he is in another country.
• My nephews and niece are getting baptized. And I just found out tonight that one of my nephews, his girlfriend has been investigating the Church on her own.
• The little girl that we take to church was just baptized by Darren.
• Found just enough money to pay for everything. We have nothing left over but the bills were paid.
So I guess this is where the blessings have come in from having a missionary out. Some days I wish for money when I have to write out the big billed checks.
May God bless and keep you. :)

Tag Your It!
Tag Your It!
My friend tagged me and sent me the following instructions.
Go to your Documents/Pictures. Click on the 6th file. Click on your 6th picture.
Post it and blog about it. Then tag six more people. I tag: Amber S., Christine K., Kristin B., Les. A., Charity D., and Eva Aurora.
We went to the Pony Express museum in St. Joseph Missouri and I was taking some pictures. It just so happens that my 6th picture is a "pooper scooper". This is the type of shovel that they used to clean out the stalls where the horses stayed.
This trip was January 2009.
