Gracie and her Barrettes

 Cute Smile

Many Barrettes

This kid suddenly wants to put every barrettes she has in her hair at once. I just let her to see what she comes up with. What a cutie.

Grateful Statement: Today I am so grateful for my Savior and what He has done for me. I am blessed to know Him.

Total Eclipse

 Hailey Picture of the Eclipse

What a Group

Cute Couple

Hailey messaged me to see if she and Tanner could come to my house for the eclipse. I said Yes, Yes, Yes. Then Amie called me to see if she and the rest of the family could come too. I said Yes, Yes, Yes. We had people sleeping everywhere. It was so much fun. Amie and Tanner made breakfast for us and then we went out to the backyard for the Eclipse. I got to meet Hannah's beau's father Brian. He slept in the back of his truck in the driveway. I love times like these. 

I must say when the eclipse happened it got so cold and it looked like a smokey fire. So awesome. It just made me know that it is all created perfect.

The crew left to go home and it took them 8 hours. I guess I-15 was a parking lot. But Amie said it was so worth it.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful that the universe was created by a perfect being and it is a perfect creation. The sun is so important. Blessed to be able to witness what it would be like without the sun to keep us warm.

Janna and AJ packed up Harley's truck and went with her to Moscow, Idaho to University of Idaho into the Vet program. She will do wonderful and learn lots. They moved her into her apartment on the second floor.

Look at all the Stuff

Gracie loves to mow the lawn with Papa. Tommy puts her headphones on her and away they go. She loves riding on the mower and Papa is always willing to let her.

Barn Burning

 Burning Barn

 Harley Anne

The neighbor was burning his weeds, which worried me because the fire from the weeds was out of control. It went around his barn and he finally got it out. My neighbor came to get Gracie's sandbox we were selling. Janna looked over to the neighbors and the flames were coming out of his barn roof. Her and Harley took off running to see if they could help. He had a trailer parked next to the barn that had propane tanks on it. Thank goodness it didn't blow up. The fire dept. finally showed up after it was totally engulfed in flames. They finally got it put out. All his wife's stuff was in the barn. I guess she is a little upset. I wonder why.

The entire neighborhood was on my front lawn watching the chaos. 

Janna had to go to the ER because she had inhaled lots of smoke. She was given breathing treatments to help her breathing.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful that this fire didn't spread and that Janna was okay. I feel watched over by my Heavenly Father.

Xrays

Lovely Shorts

Tommy and I went to the Doctor to have his hip Xrayed to see about having his hip replaced. The doctor said it was bone on bone. So he will have his hip replaced. I hope it all works out well. I would love to see him be able to walk without pain.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for this hubby of mine. I am so blessed to have spent 51 years with him.
