In the Nursery we had a total of 4 workers: Me, Charise, Justus, and Mrs. Bidwell (Mrs. Yates' Mom) and 13 children! Wow what a task! There was a total of 43 people for the Adult Mystery Event! Wow that's alot of people. It all went really well!

Help!

I am going to publish a card for the family of Nancy Tonne... and I need your comments to say to the family. She passed away this past Saturday and I think some heart felt comments would help the family through the grieving process.

NANCY L. TONNE, 67, of Fairmont

Services for Nancy L. Tonne, 67, of Fairmont will be at 10:00 A.M., Wednesday, October 29, 2008, at Calvary Baptist Church in Granada with interment in Lakeside Cemetery in Fairmont.

She was a lifelong resident of Fairmont. Nancy worked at various places including, Telex in Blue Earth, Aerospace in Fairmont, and at the Fairmont Salvation Army Thrift Store.

Pillbury is Closing!

I was reading on the Pillsbury website that they will be closing on December 31, 2008! It's a very sad situation for those who go there and those with the ties to the school.

Special Announcement

The Pillsbury Baptist Bible College Board of Trustees has announced that the college will cease academic activities on December 31, 2008. National economic conditions combined with deficits caused by declining enrollment have exhausted Pillsbury’s financial reserves, leaving the college without funds to complete the school year.

Pillsbury is committed to help current students complete their educational goals. Several sister institutions are working with the college to facilitate the transfer of credits and academic programs for those who choose to transfer.

Pillsbury will invite college representatives from sister schools to the campus to inform students of the academic and financial assistance programs they are making available to Pillsbury students affected by the closure.

The Registrar’s Office and Financial Aid Office will assist current students transferring to other colleges. Transcripts and academic records will be maintained for perpetuity at a sister college. The campus will be sold and the proceeds used to meet obligations to creditors as well as assist faculty, staff and students with the transition.

Pictures with friends!

Jason trying to tell Kaden to look at the camera!!

The second try is always good!

The first try with Julie didn't work out so well....

so we tried a second time and that didn't work out too well either....

so as they say

the third times the charm!

I tried to get one with Jennifer and Jason had to get his hand in their too!!!

Then we tried again and Jordan decided to stick out his tongue in the picture. Thanks Jordan!

This one with Jessica is kinda goofed up because I caught her when she was talking to Pastor. That's why it looks like it was a quick shot. It still looks good!

And then I got one with Mrs. Rabe and she looks just as beautiful in every picture that I take of her! I got her to not cover her face as I see in alot of pictures!

It was so great to see everyone again. I don't have any pictures with Julia because I had no idea where she was at the time. Sorry Julia! I also wanted to see Macy but that didn't work out for either of us. Thanks for coming guys!

Dr Update!

I went to the dr today and found out that I do have JME which is a version of epilepsy that you can grow into after puberty, and I have to take medication to control it! Please pray that I will be able to afford all of this treatments and medications. They are all very expensive!

Fun at Church!

Here are some great pictures that we took at church last night during the King's Kids classes.


Group pictures!

Jessica with her puppet's mom

Worn out from acting all night!

Fun picture time!

Health Issues

Recently every month since May or so I have been having seizures and I have no idea what is the reason behind them, I am hoping that the Drs find out why I have been having these. Please pray for me for the answers why!

WOW!

A rarity!

Routine Traffic Stop

I am sitting here at home and all of a sudden I see flashing lights.
I look outside to see a routine traffic stop.
Then just by knowledge of watching "Cops" on tv growing up, the Policeman calls for backup.
Backup arrives and he literally gets out of the car and proceeds to walk to the stopped vehicle.
Unknowingly the backup officer didn't, I repeat, didn't put his car into park!
He got laughed at by a couple of people outside.

The only thing you could find in Fairmont, MN!

In memory of Grandpa Swenson!

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.

All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part.

God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.

Our Trip to Mille Lacs Lake!

I never even got a bite, we were using icky leeches and terrible open faced poles. You can tell that I don't like those things. It was really fun. Except when there was a rain storm with LOTS and LOTS of lightning.

Mom's "Dinner" fish: Walleye! Her fish was 14 inches or so. A keeper!

Dad's fish: Walleye! His fish was 23 1/2 inches long. Too long to keep! If it was a 1/2 inch longer he could have kept it due to Mille Lacs Lake Laws.

This Walleye was the landmark of Garrison, Mn!

Just a Quick Poll!

Just a Quick Poll:

Happy Birthday, Mom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

So Sorry!

So sorry that its been so long, we had our internet down. I just thought that I would mention that you can find Jessica and Darren's wedding pictures here. You would also need a password. Andrews. Click on Andrews Wedding.

Happy Wedding Day, Jessica & Darren!

Happy 11th Birthday, Kirby!

This year he doesn't get alot of hamburgers because he is getting to fat! (so no hamburgers today!)

Grandma's Health

I don't know all of what you know, but last Wednesday morning about 1:30 AM, she had a slight heart attack. She was in the Fairmont Hospital for about 2 days and then they transferred her to St. Mary's in Rochester. On Saturday, they did a test to see if the heart had any blockage. Everything came out fine, no blockage. She had a MRI of the heart to see what caused the heart attack yesterday. She can come home soon as they find a place here in town to have her stay (like a care facility) until her strength comes back up. She is doing better with her flu, but now she just needs to rest and get her strength up so she can come back to church, she misses everyone dearly. Right now she just asks for prayer for her health and her strength.
