Relay for Life

The Runners:)

Tonight was the Relay for Life in Roberts County. Our friends helped organize a 5K and 2K run for the event. I was one of seven runners that participated in the 5K. Courtney ran the 2K, while Eric and Kelsey were our cheerleaders! It is a great event and I know many counties participate throughout the summer to raise money for the American Cancer Society. It really made me pause and think about all of the people I know and have known that continue to battle or have lost their lives to cancer. The luminaries are a powerful testimony to the many people affected by cancer.


Although I didn't run very fast, I did complete the race-which was an awesome feeling! I hope I can improve my time next Friday at the Race Days 5K in Jackson!





Have a good weekend everyone:)

Picture Perfect

My niece ,Sarah, is an amazing photographer. I borrowed this photo of Kelsey from her Facebook page. I am planning on getting it enlarged and framed. I have two other pieces of Sarah's work framed in my dining room. Sarah, we love you very much! You have a wonderful gift. Thanks for sharing it with us:)

Then on Saturday we caravanned to Ashby with the Shakopee Smith's. The girls had a great time riding the jet ski and tubing on the lake. A big THANK YOU to Dan and Laurie for hosting this event every year----we always have a great time:) Happy 4th of July everyone!!

Classic Grandpa!
Hello from Rapid City! I am here attending a weekend workshop on "Reclaiming

Youth." I am very excited because Temple Grandin is one of the presenters! Courtney and I watched the HBO show about her life. Temple is a person with Autism who has gone on to be very successful. Courtney told me to get my picture taken with her, so I'll see what I can do;)

Today my Grandpa Bart would have celebrated his 100th birthday. He passed away eight years ago, and I miss him very much. He told great stories and was always fun to be around. Whenever I smell or see cigars, I think of Grandpa!

Have a great weekend everyone:)

Happy Father's Day 'Saint' Eric:)

We had a nice Father's Day....went to church, played golf and then drove to Fergus Falls for Dan's baseball game. It was nice to see Dan, Laurie, Warren, Ann, Andrew, and Sarah:) Dan played a great game and had an *awesome* bunt, but unfortunately his team lost. We hope his hand/fingers are ok, as he hustled after a ball and injured himself!

The girls and I went to the library today, and they have a softball game at 5:00 today as well!

Have a great week everyone:)
