Happy Birthday to ME!

Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Me.

Now many of you are wondering why I am singing that song because you know that my birthday is in December NOT July!

31 years ago today I asked Jesus to forgive my sins and to make me His! Praise God He did! Not because of anything that I have done but ALL because of His grace and mercy.

I wanted to take the time to public ally acknowledge the wonderful gift of life He gave to me! These past 31 years have been grace filled! Not pain free but definitely lead by Him and covered by Him! He is my source of truth, peace, love, comfort, joy, salvation, forgiveness, patience. I cannot thank Him enough.

If you do not know God personally, I would love to share Him with you! Your life will NEVER be the same!

Fanno Lodge Tidbits!

The official name of our home is Fanno Lodge. We will hopefully have our first house guests at the end of August when Arthur's parents come to visit! We are looking forward to their visit.

We have had a full month in July settling into the lodge here and enjoying ourselves. The screen porch is a favorite hang out early in the morning and late at night. Dacia Grace has her kitchen out there and enjoys cooking "tea" for anyone who comes over to visit. She is becoming quite the hostess!

The air conditioner has come in quite handy this month as Portland has been experiencing......HUMIDITY! What is up with that? I thought I left that behind in the Midwest when I moved out here to the Pacific Northwest! Thank you for our air conditioner Jesus is a consistent prayer of ours lately!

Recently we heard of a young man who went to visit a psychologist. The psychologist met the man at the door because he was quite disruptive in the waiting room......"Tee pee! Wigwam! Tee pee! Wigwam"! the young man continually yelled. The psychologist put his arm around the young man and drew him back into the inner office, "It's okay! You are just two tents!".................Okay I know, a groaner but I just had to share.

Someone commented recently that there are no new pictures on our blog. My apologies regarding that....I have to download them off the camera and with the move, I have been a little busy. Soon, I promise!

Come On Everyone, Sing Along!

Dacia Grace loves to sing! When we are in the car, she wants the radio on or a cd so that she can sing and listen to music. Lately one of her favorite songs is the theme song for The Mickey Mouse Club.

Yesterday while traveling across town to a BBQ, she wanted to sing Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck with Mommy and Daddy. "Come on everyone, sing along!" she yelled right before going into a wonderful rendition of M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! Mommy and Daddy certainly had a good laugh!

So....Come On Everyone, Sing Along.....
