WEEKEND WRAP UP

The weekend flew by, Tony had to work "Thunder on the Ohio". He was gone both Saturday and Sunday. Maggie had a weekend basketball tourney at Eastern Greene. It was all day Saturday and Sunday. We won the whole tourney.... that was fun! I did get to have lunch at Moms, Kathy and Clark are home, and my Uncle Kenny and his friend Eva Jean are here from Florida. They will all be here for the 4th of July celebrations, and our "Catfish Festival"! Maggie had friends stay over last night and we are all taking it easy today.

As most of you know, we have had our house on the market since February. We have a nice young couple interested, and have completed negotiations and will sign paperwork this week. We will be starting our new home in Montgomery the middle of August. Lots of sorting and packing to do, it is amazing how much you can accumulate in 2o years with 3 children collecting STUFF! Our new house should be ready to move in to mid-November.

The photo is one that was taken several years ago during, (as the kids call it) CATFISHTABLE WEEK. Hope that everyone has a great week and is making fun family plans for the 4th!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Good Morning! My computer has been down since yesterday morning, and I am so happy to have it back working. We have had some fun family celebrations and milestones to share. Mom and Dad celebrated their 49th Wedding Anniversary! We gathered at Los Brovos to celebrate Courtneys 9th Birthday! Her birthday is actually on Friday the 27th (same as Jordan). Happy 16th Birthday Hillary Graber, Maggie helped her celebrate at Washington on Sunday evening.

Aunt Kathy will be coming in for her visit this Sunday!

WEEKEND WRAP UP

Tony and I dropped Maggie off Friday morning in Montgomery to catch the bus for her team camp at Purdue. We headed on to Custer, Wisconsin for the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair. It was an interesting weekend. Lots of electric cars, and lots of alternative energy sources... wind powered, solar powered, bio-fuels, a little bit of everything. The most interesting thing to me was the group of people that had gathered. Lots of peace, and treehugger t-shirts for sale. Tony gathered lots of good and useful information to use for magazine articles. The little town that we stayed in was sitting on "Tomorrow River" and had great fish fry specials... the fish was great! It was nice just to get away together. Maggie had a great time at camp. We are all tired and glad to be home, ready to dig into another week!

THOUGHTS FOR THURSDAY......

This has been a great week so far....

-Maggie has a basketball game tonight.

-We got the hay all baled yesterday.

-Maggie has basketball camp this weekend at Purdue.





Thought for the day:

The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we
can!
-Robert Cushing

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

THE OTHER DAY WHEN NOAH WAS VISITING HE THREW "THE MOST ADORABLE" LITTLE FIT TO HOLD THE SPOON BY HIS SELF ..... HE WON! WHAT A MESS!

TUESDAY MORNING

CELEBRATIONS!



Yesterday was a busy, busy day and I was having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. I did get to watch Noah yesterday... and he was doing just great. Erin had a doctors appointment in Bloomington, and everything checked out good with the baby on the way. Maggie had drivers training and basketball practice in the evening. The guys were here mowing the hay fields, and it looks great to have it mowed! We will be baling it on Wednesday. Yesterday was also my baby sister Lana's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANA! We will always call her little Lana.... must be cool to be the baby of the family! Here is a photo of Aunt Lana with baby Addison (Dana's baby girl).

The weekend was great... lots of fathers day and birthday celebrations. This was the last chance we were going to have to get together in a while. We celebrated Aunt Susie, Jason, and Jordan's birthdays.

We picked Maggie up last night around 2:00. It is great to have her back home! She told us stories until around 4:00, when Tony had to leave for work. We got a few hours of sleep and she had to be back at Montgomery for a area youth group volleyball tourney at 7:00 this morning. I dropped her off and came back home for some sleep! I read through her journal and she has a lot of neat stories, I will try to share some later. Her host family had 4 boys! Here are a few photos of her trip. I will try to share more later!

FUN FHOTO FRIDAY - BLOOPERS

OOPS! SHE GOT TICKLED AND WALKED AWAY RIGHT AS I WAS SNAPPING THE PHOTO!


Most of you know that this was Maggie's week for the mission trip to Mexico. Last night she was finally able to call home. She called around 10:00. She said that they just passed over to El Paso. It was so good to hear her voice, she sounded wonderful. She said that they were not allowed to go to market, as was planned, because there was too much drug fighting in that area. She said never, ever build your house out of stucco, because it is just way to messy! She said the days were long and hot and she has never felt so sorry for people as she did these people. She said, " Mama I have never cried so much in all my life... we all did... even the boys!" I can't wait to get her home and hear all the stories. I am just so very thankful that she is back in the United States and will be home tonight. Thank you for all the prayers!

DO NOT WORRY!

I am going to share the scripture that I have read every night this week for encouragement:
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Matthew 6:27

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34

Hope that you all have a wonderful weekend! We will be celebrating Maggie's homecoming, Jordan , Aunt Susan, and cousin Jason's birthdays, and Fathers day!
