Pacific Coast Rest-Stop

[Shann]

Ah thank you guys, It means a lot. I'm on day 2 and still crying. Not a good start. I did hang out some clothes Chris washed for me which was sweet because I love to hang out the clothes but since my knee keeps popping out, it isn't safe for me to go up and down the stairs. I got all kinds of seeds and plants for my garden but need a place to put it. A lot of the ground here is really rocky so it;s not going to be easy to find some places.

Amy, I'm sure the church lady understands after you explained your situation.

Pup, make sure you recycle your old tv and monitor - Best Buy and Staples has a recycle program http://www.deq.state.or.us/lq/ecycle/index.htm

Hey where has everyone been? I feel like we have been losing each other more and more and it's sad. I know life is all about changes but you all have touched my heart in such special and individual ways that I can't imagine where my life would be without you all in it. I know it can be weary (challenge word ) to listen to me when I have my dark moments, especially since every one of us has fairly significant aches and pains (be it emotional or spiritual or financial) that don't even hold a flame to my troubles. But you still are there rallying behind me and praying. A person couldn't ask for better best friends who she has never even met.

Hi Shann, Pup may be out of the loop because he is waiting on Internet to be installed in his new flat. Kara has just touched down in the U.S. Amy is up to her neck in editing and writing. No idea about the rest though I think Jay is around.
I would appreciate prayer as I prepare to speak to a gathering of Moravian believers on Saturday at noon my time. That is 10 hours ahead of Pacific time. Speaking on John 10 interweaving our Latvian story. Thanks.

Yes, Jay is around! Hi Shann! I got fitted for my tux for sis's wedding!

[Shann]

Oh cool Jay. When is the wedding? Are you a groomsman? M is getting married in October, so I'm curious to find out different things and ideas people are doing now. Instead of a big wedding cake, M is having cupcakes in a variety of flavor and are going to have a little cake for the wedding topper and to cut. Also since Quinten will hopefully be a student pastor by then he is going to help officiate at the wedding. Their minister is going to handle the legal stuff, but it's exciting that Q will be a part of it. Of course, Lyd is maid of honor.

Hey has anyone heard from Ivy? I wonder if she graduated from college this spring. I know that she entered as a second year student. Lydia will be able to do that as well. She's taken enough college credits in HS that she could almost get her Associates degree now. Hopefully that will save her some money. Plus she won't have to take a super heavy class load right off either. Seeing how she has to maintain a decent GPA it will be nice to have that time to transition.

Has Barb left to go see her niece yet? I know she was having a baby soon but I can't remember when she told me. Babies are exciting. I think I'm ready to be a grandma. Oh what fun it will be.

Sis's wedding is June 9 and giving her away since my dad passed away.

[Kalnozoli Kate]

Jay, that is awesome what a memory that will be for all the family.
Shann you wil be a wonderful gram. Weddings and babies, in their own time,waaaahooooooo!

Yes, Shann, I am still here, I just can't get on unless I am at work. With the move done I am STILL waiting on the Internet and phone to be hooked up... sometime next week.

I can go to the Coffee shop downtown and get online with their WiFi network, but with everything going this passed two weeks, going anywhere was not a good thing. And carrying my netbook bag with me just to get online... especially when I don't allow myself to have coffee in the day time, as I do TRY to get some rest.

In short... I wont be on much for another week, but I am praying for all of you.

Gee I'm crushed that you didn't do the math for Eastern time. Yh Amy and I have both been busy proofing and editing though she is doing books and I'm doing challenge articles. For like 4 days straight I did four a day. Then on Sunday an idea sneaked into my head during Church and I actually wrote it and rewrote it and submitted it a good 12 hours before the deadline. I usually do it just an hour or two before the deadline!

Dear Jesus Bless Kate as she prepares to speak. Give her the right words to say. Ease any nervousness or fears she might have. Bless those who will be listening with open ears and open hearts. Thank you for giving Kate the opportunity to spread your word. Thank you for her sweet heart and the way she cares for those she comes into contact with. in your name Amen

Now I must show my ignorance. I can't remember if we have 3 or 4 time zones. So is three or four hours difference between the coasts? I have been out of the states for over 13 years, ya know.

Shann, thank you for your prayers and encouragement. Thank you so much.

Amy, congrats on your challenge EC

Hey everyone! I like to pop in and say hello and then disappear again don't I? Well what is new with me, I joined the gym. I've got 100lbs to lose so it will be a long journey. Umm soon I won't be babysitting anymore and in just a few short weeks my sister's twin boys will be here! Eric and Jacob!!! I am taking nearly very chance I got to study the books on the world of floristary that I have so that I am ready for NaNoWriMo. Hmm I am getting more involved at my church...I think within the next month or so I will be made leader. So things or good.

[JoyAnn]

I missed the first few challenges but, I know the topic sooner so I will think about and then work on it Saturday. So look for my sprinkle in the Beginners entries. I wanna see if anyone can actually tell which is mine...so I won't tell anyone secretly. And I say this like as if it already finished...though I have no idea what it is going to be about...other than that it will be on the topic of risk lol.

[JoyAnn]

Man it has been so long since I have written I can't wait to get writing again.
