Good volleyball game last evening. M is a fantastic server.

Fun flag football game. L did great! quite the run for a touchdown.

Slept like a log.

Hope to finish up my homework for the Bible study class next Tuesday. It’s going to be an interesting class. The plan is to meet K for coffee.

If we could touch on how to parent the disrespectful child (one day this week). If you haven’t pointers, that would be great.

Is one source. It may, however, be too foofoo. Personally, the 10 commandments are a good starting place. As well as starting young on modeling respectful language and recognition of authority. One can not display what they have not been taught or experienced.

Pray for the repose of souls for those lost in the terrorist attack 09.11.2001. May they rest in peace.

The girl and her husband return home today. I hope they enjoyed their time here as much as we enjoyed them being here. We’ll see them again in a few weeks down there.

Fall is almost upon us (23rd). I look forward to winding down the business while enjoying the rich colors and cooler weather of Autumn 🍂

I’m looking forward to the Lutifisk Supper, to eating lefsa, and seeing family at the end of the month.

It is time to reflect on life. To clean out the closets and drawers of the things in the past that should have been tossed out ages ago.

Morning Offering given… it can be something as easy as… thank you, Lord, for allowing me to wake. I am yours to do with as you see fit guide me, and teach me, through the day

Village silent. Late night filled with fun at the Fall Fest. Who won the tractor pull? Car show is today.

Coffee good, welcomed in the chill of the morning.

2nd day of garage sale.

100 yr old rustic vintage coffee table, rustic bench too.

Tires

Free working refrig…you haul

Tools

Books, books, books

The builder of the “Little Free Libraries” is moving in October. I have several new libraries. They usually run anywhere from 100-500, depending on size. The ones I have here are 25-75. New in the box. Also, 2 lfl benches. Stop in or give me a shout.

I’m still reading the spiritual direction book. There is a plethora of information there I will need to ponder. It’s funny how we grow up and think some things are set in stone. Most are not set in stone. We do it that way cause mom did is a fairly honest answer.

S-i-L…Kyle…the above statement does not include how to fold towels or sheets. Nor does it include the proper placement of TP in the holder or the proper position of the lid on the T. That is set in stone.

For those who don’t know me… I am a sassy, opinionated 68 yr old mother to 11 with 22 gchildren (some living, some not). Some married, some not. Some with children, some without. We are Irish, Dutch, English, Scotch, Norwegian, Swede, Kenyon, Cherokee, Blackfoot Sioux, & Mexican… we are proud of our heritage… we are AMERICAN.

We are CATHOLIC. Some practicing, some not, and some fallen away. But once you are, you are, and there is responsibility regardless of whether you recognize that or not. I can not save my children. All I can do is pray for them and remind them they made a promise to God at confirmation. The rest is up to God.

Scripture reminds us that following Christ will not be easy. Our way will be strewn with obstacles and hardships. It tells us to be prepared and to rely on God for all we will need to get through it. Scriptures tell us not to be afraid that we are not alone. It tells us to do what is right even if you stand alone to do that.

Know you are prayed for.
