hi to all

Just a note to everyone, Roger and I decided to go to Moorhead this weekend. Wanted to let everyone know in case they tried to call. I thought it easiest to just put it on the blog. Love to all Ann

Timing

-----I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their e-mail. Your response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you. Here goes:p People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. Send this to every friend that you have on-line, including the person who sent it to you.0 Replies - you may need to work on your 'people skills' 2 Replies - you are nice but probably need to be more outgoing 4 Replies - you have picked your friends well6 Replies - you are downright popular8 Replies or More - you are totally awesome (and that's probably why you're on MY list) I wonder what mine will be. GUARDIAN ANGEL Forward this message the same day you received it It may sound ridiculous, but it is right on time We believe that something is about to happen. Angels exist, only sometimes they haven't got wings and we call them friends; you are one of them. Something wonderful is about to happen to you and your friends. Tomorrow at 11:04 PM somebody will address you and tell you something you have been waiting to hear. Please do not break it. Send it to at least 7 of your friends

Angels watching over us

Just to let everyone know all the prayers sent up for Savannah must be working for us all!
Ryan was in an accident last night(Sunday 9/23), he had Liz's Victoria with him. By the grace of God they are both fine. They were taken to St. Marys and checked out, and Victoria isn't happy about her collar that she will wear for another day. I did not see the van that hit them, but was told when Roger got there, they were tipping it back up, it was on the roof. We don't know anything about how many or who was in the van. Ryans car was totaled, and I would think the van is too. Ryan's glasses were found in the southwest ditch, while the windshield was in the northwest ditch. Victoria's backpack was in the culvert. Ryan was glad to find his fishing pole on the highway in one piece! It was a true miracle that they are only sore today. Lets not forget to keep praying!!

Aloha 'ohana

by the greeting most of you realize that Ken and I went to the state of Hawaii this past week, to the island of Oahu. We flew out Sat, Sept 15, and returned Sat, Sept 22. It was a fun week, and went by quickly. We didn't have a chance to see all the tourist attractions, but we did see some of them. We went for a convention thru the clinic, so did have to spend a little time at the Convention Center. We stayed at a hotel that was right on the beach, so really enjoyed spending time on the beach and walking the beach front. And there are tons of Waikiki shopping centers, and small shops along the streets of Waikiki Beach. We went to the Foster Botanical Garden on Mon, and to Chinatown to buy apple bananas (since we heard about them on the tours at the gardens) to Diamond Head on Tues morning, spent Wed on a bus tour of the island, and Thurs went to Hanauma Bay (which is great for snorkeling, but the weather wasn't the greatest for snorkeling, so we didn't do that), but the beach was really great there, and it was interesting to learn about the marine life. Writing it down doesn't seem like much, but we were busy all the days, did lots of walking, and of course we did spend some time by the ocean, and in it. When we did the bus tours of the island, the water color was fabulous along the North Shore, and the views were awesome! We put just a couple pictures up, and maybe we will add more in the next few days. The time in Hawaii is 5 hours behind Minnesota time, so Ken and I were always tired and feeling ready for bed by 7/8 every evening, and up early. But even when we got up early and headed out, the beaches and shops were already busy. It was amazing to see how many surfers were out at 6:30 AM. And now tomorrow we are both back to work, vacation was nice, just too short.

a hui hou (meaning until meeting again or see you later)

Ann's working vacation

I had a working vacation to Laughlin, Nevada! Elaine and I left Thursday, September 13 and came home today - Sunday, the 16th. We had a great time, except I'm to stingy to gamble much. I took $60 for gambling, lost 20 within the first 15 minutes of being there, so had to play it safe with the rest - lost 20 more the next day! Spent the next 10 on a pair of clearance pants (at least had something!) So, my last $10 went into a machine, when I had it up to $27, I cashed it out, then thought maybe I shouldn't have, so put in another 4 - gone!
So much for me being a big spender!! Anyway, it was work but had a nice time - all expenses paid and away from the office and home! Hot compared to home - 112 when we stepped off the plane in Laughlin, 68 when we stepped off in Rochester.

NEW HOME UPDATE

Update – as of 12:30pm today (8-29) Erick and I “officially” joined the ranks as new home owners. Yeah!! Closing went well – although my hand really hurts from all the signatures. There must have been 80 apiece. We will be moving some items over the next two weekends and will have the movers here for all the big furniture items and such on September 12th for our official move in day. It is our hope that we will be able to have a house warming/open house event by the end of the year. Please know that each and every one of you will be welcome to visit.
