BROOKLYN IS FOUR YEARS OLD

Today Brooklyn is four years old. She is so excited and we understand that she chose Red Robin for her birthday meal.

Brooklyn is such a sweetie and has the most winsome smile you can imagine. She reminds us so much of her mommy.

We love you Brooklyn and hope you have a wonderful birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HALFWAY TO MY GOAL

April is done and one-third of the year is passed and I am halfway (504 miles) to the 1000 mile goal. Rog thinks I am a little excessive but I just like to stay on top of things and keep moving. I am grateful that God has given me the health and strength to do it and I look forward to completing the goal. One thing for sure, there is no competition in our family:)

JOHNNY IS CELEBRATING

Today is Johnny's 37th birthday. We are grateful for the good husband and father that Johnny is and pray that God will give him much wisdom in raising his family.

Johnny keeps busy with his job, church activities, and track meets right now. He also is quite a faithful fan of Nebraska football.

We love you Johnny and pray that God will give you a great day and bless you with many more years.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

MOM'S ENTERTAINMENT

We have a strange squirrel that just loves sunflower seeds. This squirrel spends hours trying different ways to get to our hanging bird feeder. This supplies endless entertainment for Mom outside her patio door. He is so desperate that he even comes and begs for food. He surely is somewhat bruised from his acrobatic falls. Sometimes he even succeeds in eating from the bird feeder.

TREASURES ON THE STREET

We do walking and running for exercise and it is amazing all the treasures we find on the street. Rog calls it our entertainment while we exercise.

We also pick up aluminum cans while we exercise and today was the day to turn in all that we had collected over the past 6 months and we had 7 bags full of smashed cans. They weighed in at 122 lbs. They paid a premium today because they were helping the girl scouts.

ONWARD TO ONE THOUSAND

This is my calendar for the month of March. We have challenged our family to walk or run 1000 mile in the year 2011. Some have chosen a 500 or 250 mile goal which is a commendable goal as well.

We have had some sickness in the past week so that has slowed us down but we will continue until the end of the year the Lord willing.

My total is 357 miles at the end of March.
