Just a Daisy in the Meadow

What constitutes a simple life . . . for you?

“I have been crucified with Christ:

It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; . . .” – Galations 2:20a

Refreshing scenery . . . cool breezes 

Wet sand between our toes . . .

Sweet change . . . trading the misery of car seat for truly a "breath of fresh air"

My one and only . . .

Old Mister Toad made his appearance to say hello while we were at the cabin.

And not to be outdone, so did Mister Creepy Spider . . . I REALY DID NOT APPRECIATE this turn of events . . . we still had one more night there . . . and we had pulled out mattresses of the bunks to sleep in front of the fireplace that night . . .

In his trapping for groundhogs, Skyer caught this little guy.  The consensous was to let him go . . . Goodbye Little Guy!

“All God’s critters got a place in the choir, some sing low, some sing higher, some sing out loud on the telephone wire and some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got now . . .” Ever hear that song?

Sail on . . .

Joy showed us how to make a daisy chain . . .

Loraine’s favorite pastime, picking flowers . . .

Another card coming up . . .   Like it???

I was thrilled with the sight of the mountains again . . . God kept this verse ringing in my mind . . .

“As the mountains are round about Jerusalem

So the Lord is round about His people,

From henceforth even forever.” Psalm 125:2

“I will go before you,

And make the crooked places straight;

I will break in peices the gates of bronze

And cut the bars of iron.

I will give you the treasures of darkness a

And hidden riches of secret places.

That you may know that I the Lord,

Who call you by your name,

Am the God of Israel . . .

I have called you by your name;

I have named you,

Though you have not known Me . . .

I make peace and create calamity, I the Lord do all these things . . .”

Rachel, cousin by marriage, and Carrie, true cousin by blood discussing the all important topic of child training

Roland’s girl, Cheyanne . . . they hit it off quite well . . . friends from the get-go . . . that is after she became accustomed to the noise around Grandma’s now :_) They had seen us a bit Sat. the day we arrived and monday morning rolls around and Patrisha asked Cheyanne if she wanted to go over to Grandma’s for the day and play with her cousins. “No (sigh)” says Cheyanne. “Well, why not?” her mom asked. “It’s so noisy over there” Cheyanne sighs again . . .Yeah, we are quite the crew . . . I think we wore Grandma out!!!

One of Dad’s sources of income  is repairing the unloaders of Harvestores with Uncle Danny.  Sometimes he works for Brandon there on the farm, sometimes it’s sawing wood for a customer . . . you just don’t know who will call up and need help . . . and if nobody does then it’s getting wood ready for his next project(building their house) or messing around making something in his new shop . . . keeps life interesting . . .
