Ordination Service
Thursday was our district's ordination service. Pastor Joe Wells was ordained. We first met him in Michigan when he served at our church during his internship for Bethany Bible College. He's getting married August 26!
Ann Truesdell was commissioned as a special worker with children. She is a member of our congregation here! We are very proud of her and her accomplishments! She has an incredible testimony!
Almonzo Wilder Farm
Ken, the kids and I went to the Almonzo Wilder Farm with Ken's mom in Burke, NY. It's the homestead that he described to Laura as she wrote "Farmer Boy." It's a pretty neat place! Full of history! And beauty!
The tree is the only one on the property that is original from the days when Almonzo and his family lived there. The house is also the only original building. The out buildings have been reconstructed from drawings Almonzo gave Laura, due to them being burned when lightening struck.

My special day draws to a close....
It's been a good birthday! Yesterday being Ken's day off, he took me to town! Kenny gave me movie tickets and Ken and I saw "Cars." What an incredible movie! It's a must see! Racing fans will get SOOO much of the little details!
We had dinner at Pizza Hut Italian Bistro. On our way home we stopped at our new favorite ice cream place in Natural Bridge, NY.
This morning the My kids gave me cards. Nathan seems to find the ones that are crazy and fit his personality! My Mother's Day card from him wouldn't open! Today's card opened backwards!
Cressalyn gave me some new kitchen storage containers. She knows exactly what I need! I had gotten a new can opener last night for under the cabinet and she was relieved she decided against one!
Kenny got home he gave me one of my favorite candies...Peppermint Patties!
I received emails, e-cards, snail mail cards, and phone calls! My niece, Whitney, even called while I was at the grocery store to play "Happy Birthday" for me on the piano! Sorry, Whit! Thanks for the thought!
One of my brothers emailed me a beautiful letter. The other brother called and sang to me. It's funny, he has called me every year for many years...on June 14! This year he actually remember to call me on the 17th! What a guy!
All in all it's been a wonderful day! I have great family, great friends, and lots of love! I think I'm gonna like 37!
(I spoke to someone 3 times today...and yet they didn't even mention my birthday. Yep, they know when it is.)

Today we saw....
Ken and I saw this.
Then we saw this! And almost took it out!
No, not this exact one, but a relative! The thing appeared in front of the truck and we both hollered! Ken swerved to the right and just missed the backend of the deer by centimeters! It was so close!!!

This could have been a very bad happening. Kenny fell asleep on the way to work this morning. He hit one of the only 2 guardrails on 58! Just before this spot is granite rock.
The drop beyond this guardrail is very large. He's a very lucky boy.

Tracy
Ok, so when I spoke with Tracy this evening I was informed that I had neglected to share details of my visit with her!! Tracy pulled herself out of bed, not feeling well at all, and drove herself to our party last Friday just to see us! I neglected to recognize her efforts and share a picture of her. So, I am now correcting my ommission! I told Tracy that none of the pictures I took of her turned out well enough to share. They really don't do her justice! You be the judge!

Whirlwind Trip to Michigan!
Ryan and Katie, 2 very special friends, asked Ken to marry them on June 3, 2006. So we drove back for the wedding. 
While in town we stayed with some friends, Kevin & Lucille. We had all Friday to spend with errands and visiting with friends. That night a simple dinner out with a handful of friends turned into a huge party! It was so wonderful to see everyone! There wasn't enough time to see all those we longed to visit with, but we are so glad that we had what time we DID have! 
Alex and Andres!
Ryan and Amber!
Kevin & Rob got a little out of control after midnight!
Friends are friends forever if the Lord is Lord of them!
