Paul D. Webb, publishes the lead feature article in Southern Idaho Living, a prestigious and positive magazine about living in the state. The article is a human profile of a woman that meticulously carves and paints Idaho wildlife for a living. Read the full article and see the pictures online at www.southernidaholiving.com. She did an awesome job!
In other sad news, the Sisters ranks were drastically diminished this week due to coyotes. The number of Paula's chickens, which have been laying eggs in the old dishwasher that was converted to a nesting place, were ravaged to only one with a coyote seen slinking off in the distance.
Dan & Jill enjoyed an Idaho re-charge on Saturday as they took the red Yamaha Phazers out to Blackfoot Reservoir and rode for miles and miles on the ice with no other person in sight! The sun was out and they parked in the middle of the lake and just listened to quiet. (Dan..send pictures!)
Frank and family have been sick...multiple people with strep and sort of just plain miserable. Melissa was the only one well as of Sunday night. Keep them in your prayers.
Saturday night, I put up a motion sensor light in the breezeway at Dad & Mom's. What was to be a 15 minute job ended up taking a couple of hours but..par for the course. As I finished and was putting the ladder in the garage, I noticed the cat nestled down on one of the shelves and the dog laying on the floor in front of the car. I just assumed that's where they stayed for the night and so closed the garage door. Next morning when we went to take the car out for church, it looked like a bomb had gone off in the garage. Boxes and pots were strewn around, the door was chewed on and the motion sensors for the garage door had been ripped off, cords hanging and shards of microchip and plastic all over. Apparently, the dog was NOT supposed to sleep in the garage and didn't want to as she wanted to get to her puppies! Still waiting for the final mortality count on puppies but it might have been a good thing in the long run....
Ok...now for the highlight. It was Fast Sunday and as a little boy finished bearing his testimony, up went Kai Daniel to bear his. He put the microphone right to his lips and said, "I'd like to say my article of faith. 'We believe that man will not be punished for his own sins.....uhm...aahh....the article of faith, 'We believe that man will be punished for his own sins......and not for Aunt Greshen.'" And he sat down. I immediately had my head down, was biting both cheeks and had my hands over my mouth to keep from laughing out loud and I think Mom and Dad were doing the same. Very cute! Apparently, Maniah has been tutoring the twins on their articles of faith and when they couldn't say transgression, she said, "It's like Aunt Greshen!" Anyway, we laughed about it the rest of the day and Kent said, "I guess we know what we're going to work on in family home evening!"
