Tundra Sunset

Tundra Sunset
is tropically sweet
full of desire and desire
ever drinking, never quenched
voice of God calling me
in aching tones of love.

What's New

Sara just made her first phone call. She called to see if her friends Bethany and Brianna could come over. Unfortunately, they were at the basketball game at the gym. Sara loves to write letters to her Grandmas.

Abby's sewing skills are improving and she is beginning to led Miriam in their devotions. Abby also learned how to use our camera to take a picture of her new stuffed giraffe and has mended that same giraffe.

Miriam is always up to something. This week she has improved her writing and is trying to write letters to Grandpa. She used a drawing book to draw a squirrel. She is also working on dressing herself to go outside and play in the snow.

Happy Trading

Sometimes things come together so perfectly it has to be God. We are enjoying a "new" snowgo that will be easier to maintain.

We have been using Warren's brother Dan's machine which likes to race. It has been having problems with coolant freezing in our sub zero temperatures.

Our neighbor Bert suggested that he might want to trade machines with us. Bert's machine was fan-cooled, which we prefer for reliability in cold weather. But what Bert actually wanted was his mechanic friend Doug's three cylinder machine, which was working (though it isn't quite so fast as ours).

Bert talked to Doug and Doug was interested in our machine. So Bert helped Warren haul our machine to Doug, Bert got to drive home with Doug's machine, and Warren got to drive home with Bert's machine. Now everyone has a just right machine and just in time so we were able to haul water since our plumbing was frozen also. Amen.

Created To Live And To Know

I have just finished watching Privileged Planet again. I am in awe of our Creator who is so wise.
How wonderful that the same things that support life allow for discovery of the workings of the universe. God made us to explore and learn as well as live and love!
