Where have I been?

Posted in Ramblings
Oh where, oh where has our little friend gone? Oh where, oh where has she been?

It's not everyday that I sing to my blogging friends!  You should be impressed!

I checked and the last time I posted was April!! YIKES!!

I am so sorry everyone!!  I  have been sooooooooo busy with life that it all just got away with me. 

I  hope to be more faithful to get on here more often.

So much has taken place since April!!

Without boring you with all the details I will list out the important events in our lives since my last entry.

May 09  Left to see my Marine son graduate the School of Infantry.

June 09-August 09 Re-established life in a cold Michigan.  Came home to 10 acres of cut grass, 1 acre of VERY TALL GRASS......ABOUT 4 FEET TALL!  Had to bush-hog 4 times and rake and pick up soggy loads of cut grass.  It took us about three 8 hour days.  We looked like scarecrows when we were done....grass coming out of every known and unknown place!!!

Began all of our entertainment in the preschools and libraries around the state.  Lots of smiles and miles added to our line-up.

Saw our Marine son 2 times and loved every minute of it!

Had a surprise 50th birthday for my husband.  Did the tire tracks in the 10 acre yard give it away?  Yes.....but he pretended not to notice:(. 

Here are some pics.



Took him to Ohio for some paragliding.  He has always wanted to do this....he has had dreams of flying since he was a child.  His dreams came true this weekend. 

Our fellowship collected the money and sent us on our way!  It was incredible!

 

That's Capt. Kurt on the right giving Steve instructions.  That's Sherri, Kurt's wife, on the left also giving instructions.



Starting take-off



Almost up above the trees!



And he will soar as with wings like eagles.



Look  honey, no hands!



He wanted to FEEL the power behind the motor....had to brace himself on the van.






OHHHHHH!!! UUUGGGHHH!!!! I stayed up late last night putting ALLL kinds of pictures on here and then hit the wrong button and LOST IT ALL!! INCLUDING MY MIND!!!!


I am posting this for now and then when time permits will post ALL those other pics and stories to go along with them.  UUUGGGHHH!!!!

Hi Sandy,
I was just thinking about you the other day! Glad to her your are alive and well - and back home, although I'm sure leaving FL was hard too, in a way.

Sounds like you have been busy indeed. That was a nice 50th birthday gift for your hubby.

Don't ya just hate when you lose posts like that?! Me too!

Sandi,
Do you have any Messianic music you could recommend to me? I'm looking for something that has the Psalms of David for words. I've been searching and searching and then I thought of you and thought you might save me a lot of time if you could give me a good lead.
Thank you
