Dear Family,
“I
wish my driver's instructor was here to mock you.” Seth may say this if you speed. I may know this from personal experience, but
I also, may not. You be the judge.
Having
everyone home for a week has felt cozy and wonderful. I believe these are my, “Good old days.” I enjoyed watching Seth and Adriel ponder
together how to make images a larger kb file.
I looked at them and felt my heart burst. Taking a picture would have ruined the
moment, sorry – they are both allergic to cameras held by other people.
Seth
continues taking drivers ed and mowed the lawn this week. The raspberries are pruned enough that
instead of having family pick raspberries Seth is clearing the land of ground
fall apples. Seth also cleaned bathrooms
this week. I love his company. Seth is constant, good for a hug and, “I love
you.” Seth also continues to love
scrambled eggs and watermelon. I love
buying and making those things.
Adriel
is moving forward with her car and decided she needs more money. She drew seven drawings in 3 days! We may have another book coming out! How fun!
Adriel
looked up how much it would cost to insure her car all by herself. We decided to have her on our plan since it’s
10x more otherwise. Woah!
Bobby
cooked several yummy meals this week. He
continues to enjoy the smoker his mother gave him. Still tickled pink. Bobby also helped me with a wasp nest that
was being built INSIDE the mesh part of Adriel’s window. That was scary!
Bobby
took some youth and leaders hiking at Pamelia Lake. I am glad they came home safe. Then Bobby went the extra mile and put our
camping gear under the house. NICE!
At
Church this morning I was chatting with the father of a pre-school aged child
in the gym while we snacked on the wonderful treats Church provides. He told me that his child was in the gym and
hoped I wouldn’t kick her out. I
couldn’t imagine why I would ever want to kick a child out of the gym and
looked at him with incredulity. Then he
mentioned he was talking about Pokémon.
Ohhhhh, I let her stay. Thank
goodness because the sermon was about being generous! I would have felt guilty.
Our
Church is preparing for the rummage sale this coming weekend. I was volunteering on Saturday and mentioned
to the leader that I was looking at “Craigslist free” for items to go get. She was trying to tell me they can’t take
just anything. I had to show her this.
“Free Americana Chicken. Have a year old
Americana hen that went broody. She has
been pecked on by the rest of the flock.
Significant scar on her butt.” A
friend said I had to share this in blessings.
There are so many amazing and entertaining things on Craigslist
Free. The poor chicken though. She has been through enough already – I did not
get her for the rummage sale.
May
you feel so blessed you are able to give generously. May you find God has provided over and above
your needs. May you enjoy your pastor's
sermons as much as I enjoyed mine J Hugs, Cristy VanKleek
