It's nice to have Chase back to being sound again. I rode both him and Sonny today. As soon as the weather cools off and Sunny get's a couple of days inside he becomes a little (big) monster. I just ran sonny on Tuesday but by Wednesday he was acting silly, the bugs were biting him and he was trying to canter. So after he was a goob again today I decided to run him and Chase again. That went well and Sonny really did some wild bucks.

I rode Chase after that. He was good but he is unsteady in the head. Probably due to my hands. He was however starting to calm his head down some.

Sean seems to finally be becoming more upbeat. This new job isn't exactly what he was looking for. He is on the minor improvements team. He didn't have a lot of direction at the start. Now they have him fixing firewalls, not exactly electrician work.. His class has him a little burned out, but it's almost over, the final exam Tuesday and thats it.

I'm glad he is a little happier. He says he wants to have friends over to his house again. He didn't for a while.

Here I am sitting on my bed, typing onto an online blog WITHOUT the use of a telephone cord! That is because I am now a DSL subscriber and off a wireless router that I installed along with the guy from tech support! I am truely a happy girl!

I have started swimming 3 days per week at the Franklin Regional Middle School. That should last until Aug 3, then the pool closes and I take a vacation from my swimming exercise. I should just face it lap swimming is fun, easy on my body and my knee likes it! I hope to find a way to continue to do it regularly. Of course a cute guy at the pool did serve to give me some motivation to get started. I met a young man named Joe there who is trying to train to get into the special opps part of the air force. He is a Christian! We talked. I hope to write to him while he's in training. However that is completely up to him because he's the one with my contact information and not vice versa. So that's kind of nice..it's not my problem. He's 27. It was nice to ask a person if they had peace with God and to get the right answer back! I would like to write to him for that reason more than an interest in a romance. A special forces guy 7 years younger than me isn't a real likely prospect. The Bible says to have friends, one must be a friend..I'm trying to implement that strategy in my life. I am trying to meet guys in good places and to have wholesome relationships with them. If something else comes of it then great..otherwise I am the richer for having a few more friends. It's possible that my heart is no longer chained to Sean....

Speaking of him he called me Tuesday while I was out swimming! I called him back but he was very tired and we agree to talk Wednesday. He told me Wed that he was feeling disconnected from good things like church and was hoping that I could help him to make that connection to something good. It made me feel good that I represent something that is so positive in his life. I shook his hand and told I am glad to be his connection to good things anytime!

Work is hard for him. It involves him doing things he isn't sure about with people he doesn't know well. He is hoping to geta permenant job there that will allow him to work with another electrician doing..electrical stuff..lol.

We had camp this week. A total of 6 kids attended Alex, and Ashely Elizeus, Tina Nyberg, Lizzy Wrobleski, Angelica Sarn, and Ryan. They had a good time but it was so hot especially Mon-Wed 90's. We kept rescheduling camp for earlier in the day just for the sake of survival. The only bad thing that happened was that Alex got dumped off of Reo. A bottom rail fell down and he startled. She only got scared..not really hurt. That may have been her first fall. Ryan made the most progress probably, but Lizzy, Tina and Angelica also made big strides. Abigail helped she did a nice job. Meghan is moving Bahati in about 3 weeks. She has been isolating herself from us up here..That will and does hurt Abigail I think. It hurts me too. I don't know if she plans to sell Bahati or not.

I posted a website for Lifeway. it needs work but at least it is up. I am waiting for comments from Dai. I am sure he will be kind in his assesment of it. I never thought that I would achieve posting a made from scratch website. So even if it get's disassembled it is still a huge success for me!

Machester didn't close, bad information.

I am home from Montana. blogging while I was there would have been nice, but without interefering in other peoples lives I didn't really have the opportunity. Not to mention, it was nice to have a general break from computers.

Overall the trip was very enjoyable. Suzanne and Mike tried to be pleasant. The children were hysterical. Daniel and Ruth are so cute and active. The new baby Andrew Thomas is an easy baby. He is cute too.

Suzanne's life is still overly active. She is like the tasmanian devil with the dust flying behind her. We took the kids to the playground a few times and I went to Walmart one day with her. The RV gives us privacy and saves on hotel bills.

Mom and I went to Yellowstone. It was a nice trip. We stayed at a cottage called Hillcrest Cottages in Gardiner, MN. It was nice with a kitchenette and air conditioning. Only 68 for the night.

Thats all for now.
