IT'S JUNE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! AND THERE'S SNOW!!! Yup...4 inches of heavy wet stuff by the time we got home...and the chokecherry tree***will it EVER be the same again??? It did stop in the late evening, but today we are to have up to an inch of precip in the form of rain. I'm thinking today won't be a mowing day, even when I can see the grass***which isn't at the moment! So...I'm cleaning house, which really needs it...and sorting thru things for a yard sale/thrift store drop.

SUMMER IS HERE!!!
Monday ~ June 9, 2008
...well, maybe not weatherwise since Bozeman/Belgrade is suppose to get snow tomorrow. We came down last Thursday to get in on the yard sale action...and are headed home tomorrow with just 1/4 of what we brought to sell. Really hoping WE are in the mood to have one ourselves...gotta remember, someone else's treasure is sitting in our garage/house!
One bunny left...tricky little thing...backs right out of the traps, but I've destroyed their burrows and she hasn't tried to dig anymore...so far... Tulips are another matter...we're safe...the neighbor's flowers aren't...
Our pastor's last Sunday was May 4th so now our members are in the process of calling another Shepherd...had to change our worship time to 1pm on Sunday since that's the 'fastest' our vacancy pastor can get to St. Peter's...EVEN THO he DOES have a motorcycle...
I SO miss going to Alaska!!! The drive...the friends...the relatives...BUT God has different plans for us this year, some we'll know about right away, some we may not know for a while. SO...we're planning another trip around July 4th here...and also July 17 for Summerfest in Livingston. Am having a booth, selling wall-hangings, matted photos, handmade cards and wood carvings. The carvings are made by a good friend...one of the couple who went to AK with us last year. Here's a good idea...everyone have an EKG and follow thru with other tests if needed. This guy is in awesome shape...rides bike every day for MILES...is always doing something physical...and they found an aortic aneurism 6 weeks ago *BY ACCIDENT*!!! He is now recovering from surgery to repair that. The doctor said that 99% are found by accident...so...have a baseline EKG and STAY IN SHAPE!
Hoping to fit some camping time in this summer...even by myself if need be. The camper is on...and I'm ready to go! Comes in handy, too, for the kid/grandkid visits...

SAD ~ BANNER ~ BUNNIES
April 26, 2008 ~ Saturday
We are sad. Our oldest son and his wife lost their little still-to-be-born baby yesterday, but we know he is in Jesus' arms, whole and happy now, waiting to meet the rest of us. Knowing Jesus=comfort and peace.
Just finished an Athelas banner this week for a retreat using pabric...a fabric material that goes thru an inkjet printer and photos are copied onto the pabric, hence the p for photo instead of an f.
Bunnies...one young one and the two moms and if no little ones show up by the end of next week they will all find a new home...will miss their antics tho...

UUMMM...MORE BUNNIES
April 20, 2008 ~ Sunday
OK...so this morning there was a rabbit that looks just like one of the moms (Oreo)...AND another little black bunny. The look-a-like is probably 4-6 months old and, I'm thinking, a male, so...we trapped him post-haste and sent him on his way to a new home. Now for the little ones...and the moms at the end of the week.
Cold again...14 above this morning. I remember...like, last weekend...when we had summer. It was nice.
Our church is loosing it's Shepherd...May 4th is Pastor's last Sunday, so then we will be in the process of calling a new pastor, whether it be a candidate or one already in the field, God only knows. AND, thank God He does and has already prepared His choice for St. Peter, even if he and we don't know who it is yet. So...this spring and summer, at least, will be busy with meetings & cleaning/repairing the parsonage...which will be interesting because St. Peter's members are known for being gone frequently during the summer months. We're not going to Alaska this year so will be 'around', but will be gone several weekends anyway. All will work out in God's time.
AND...THE RABBITS ARE STILL AHEAD...

BUNNY COUNT/SUN COUNT
April 13, 2008 ~ Sunday
SUN ~ SUN ~ SUN!!! Yesterday was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L and it looks good for today, too...flower beds here I come! But, only after Lutherans for Life silent auction and spaghetti feed today. We must try to protect those little lives...whether they be unborn or old in years...all are God's creation and joy!
Bunny count...one young one and 2 moms...and as soon as we know if there are tiny ones under the deck and shed they, too, will find a new home. We'll miss seeing their antics...running, hopping and spinning in mid-air, but...our 'under the deck' will be presentable again...

ALASKA PHONE, SS, BUNNIES
April 10, 2008 ~ Thursday
...the day to reup minutes on our Cell One Alaska phone so we can keep our number...so added $20 more for a total of $110 AND THEN WAS TOLD THAT AT&T HAS BOUGHT CELL ONE OUT, but ***it would be easy to switch and roll over our minutes by just GOING TO AN AT&T STORE BECAUSE IT CAN'T BE DONE OVER THE PHONE***!!! OK...guess what? NO AT&T stores in MT and didn't find where the closest one is because we aren't leaving MT this summer. Called their number and was told that our phone would be able to transfer, but, no, the minutes COULD NOT be rolled-over. Called Cell One back and they said again that the minutes would be ok...called AT&T, a very nice lady, who understood where I was coming from, called AT&T for me, talked to them, then I talked to the guy for 45 minutes and were 'just about there' when he said I needed a new phone...FCC rules that you can't transfer phones between companies...so told him I wanted the least expensive ($9.95), gave him our address, etc. and then he said, "I'm sorry, but the system doesn't recognize your address. Is there another address I could send it to?" APPARENTLY, MONTANA DOES NOT EXSIST IN THE AT&T NETWORK ALTHO OUR ALASKA PHONE DOES WORK HERE!!! I told him to***forget it and hung up***!!! I AM NOT recommending AT&T to anyone and will tell them why!!!
On the up-side for the day...called the state for an interview on food stamps for Kelly...a very very nice lady who said they should never have been stopped while waiting for a hearing on obtaining SSI and SSDI, so will pick up an application again for Kelly. AND, we are hoping it does not take 12 MONTHS for that hearing!
Rabbits and bunnies...12 bunnies have now found a new home (out in the woods where they'll be happy and scamper around without a care in the world because there is new grass growing for eating)...so now for the other 3 little ones and the two moms and dads. A little bit worried tho since we think there are new ones under the deck/shed. WILL IT NEVER END!
