Spring is Back

We had a really nice day followed by days of wicked wind, but it is nice today. I have no doubt that we will have more wind this week.


I have my chair set up and ready for some reading. I was out earlier this afternoon enjoying the sounds of birds and squirrels. 

We did Kindergarten registration and one of the families that came in was the family that took in a 14 year old Guatemalan girl I was working with a couple if years ago. I was so happy to see her and discover that she is still going to school.  It was truly a joy for me. 

Then two says later I found that my Guatemalan student that I have this year moved to Chicago.  I was sad and concerned.  Wendell is a pretty safe place. I just can't imagine that she is moving to a safe neighborhood in Chicago.  I wish I could keep in touch. I have these new immigrants move into our area and I enjoy keeping track of their progress.  I wouldn't be surprised if they move back but I will pray for their safe journey, where ever they are. 

Life certainly has its upside and downs.

Harvest Blessings

I love the end of Summer with its beautiful harvests.  The smell of soup that fills the kitchen. I spent most of yesterday making tomato soup for grilled cheese and tomato soup dinners this Winter.  I'm so grateful that my neighbor gifted me the tomatoes and fresh onions were available at the Farmers Market. This simple recipe is 100% nutrious and delicious.  I freeze the soup in 3 cup portions. It's what Wes uses to cook dinner once a week. I did think that it was a lot of work so that Wes could think he cooked dinner, more than once yesterday.  Love living in Idaho.... Harvest Blessings.... Good day...

Walks, Lake Day and I've had Enough

Image
I love my morning walks this time of year. I tend to focus on the beauty  Because we all know that when Winter comes, I'll be whining. Had a beautiful day at Redfish .. Picnic and lake time.  And to finish up this post, it's my anniversary. To be honest, this has been a really hard year. I am working very hard on not correcting the things that Wes says. He is often confused and his problem solving skills are declining.  My other problem comes when we are around people in the stake and he's always walking up to people (who are apparently Bishops) and saying, ' Hello Bishop'. I don't even have words to describe how weird I think this is.   Sometimes I feel like he has joined a club that I want no part of.  If you have any words of wisdom....I need them.  I have been thinking about my mom and these were her words of wisdom...Men are weird and they get weirder w...

Eaten in the mountains or by the sea, they were all enjoyable.  Wood River picnic area. Johnson Lake in Canada  Crab sandwiches in Bodega in California.... Challis Idaho  Redfish Lake Idaho. What a beautiful way to spend the Summer. Sandwiches and cookies, blue skies and good company.  Not ready for Fall.... Happy Summer Days.....
