Holy Hip, Thing ,and Pirates Batman.....

Grand adventures and trails by inferno always seens to come about every couple of months for us..... WHAT ??!!!! Well, let me explain.....




Holy Hip:
Mom has once again had surgery... it seems to have been a great success for her. She is even able to put weight on her leg that the surgery was done on and only restricted to no water until the staples come out in about 5 weeks. Holy Hip.... it is still holding and healing everyday but she is so little pain that she can even hold her grand kids in her lap and tickle them..... no holler in pain from the wiggling even... thank you Jesus... Lord willing this will not be short lived... She of course is worried about her knee from the impact of the accident and wonders about other illments that might surface after this big one is on the road to recovery... please continue to keep her in your prayers.








Holy Thing:
Introducting the newest and oldest member of our little family, "CLIVE". Affectionally names by me in honor of one of my hubby's fav writers Clive Clusser who has a huge collection of classics.This weekend, my very nerves, edgy, and non-city friendly driver of a husband and me went to a big city and pulling a trailer. We had found us a 1974 VW Thing...
After many hairy turn arounds, heated words, and upset bellys, we made it home in one peace. Note to self: Volunteer to drive next time or just don't go with..... argh....








Holy Pirates:
This years VBS theme is High Seas Expeditions.
I am doing the music for the program as well dedicated myself to create an elaborate but do able sancutary decoration theme. I am working on the layout now for it. My goal is to turn the entire stage area into a ship deck that seems to be inviting you into it the helm... the captions deck... Im not talking a cruise liner here but a old fashion ship that you usually see Pirates or sailors on. If we can get it to work out, I think it will be very cool. Did I mention that I have bout two weeks to get it figured out and up in about 2 days before it starts?! Frustation and exhaustion comes to mind but hopefully it will not be that bad..... Wish me luck and lose of leway for changes....

We are all doing well. The family is out of school for the summer but it is short lived for the coach/teacher. In about a week or so, he will be back up at the school running the gym for hours during the break... then comes getting ready for cross country again. Oh well... did I mention that in between there will be 4th Concert put on my our church choir, and reunions and many mini-fam vacations when fesible financially. during those down moments, we will be working on our old house. The wiring in the house is shot so we have to be very careful what we do. meanwhile we are still clearing out "junk" aka not our stuff out of the house and trying to change to decor and paint too... please pray for us to get it down will minimal "ugliness" and within our budget needs. As usually we are busy but never to busy to remember all those that are our friends and family. May you all be richly blessed this summer, stay cool and not sunburned, and have a great time together... until later times, God Bless you....

****DO YOU KNOW JESUS BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU. God knows every hair on your head (Luke 12:6-8 NIV:Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows), and he gave his only son for you John 3:16 KJV-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.) ****
