LD Puppy Raiser Updates...

Maija - German Shepherd - in training doing Great! She returned to Leaderdog in July. It was pouring down rain when she was being tested. Her giant ears went back and she looked at me like you want me to go out in that storm?
We must admit she wiggled her way into our hearts and no other dog will match her abilities and love of her handlers.

Pup #3 - arriving Saturday, 9-19! Her name? Not sure yet... Sidney? Raney? Danika? We do know she is a yellow lab and her mom is black and dad is yellow.

OK - we will hopefully share our new pups picture and antics soon.......

Realize, Relax, Remember......

Reminscing is so relaxing these days. I guess it just goes to show us that keeping memories fresh in our minds helps us to realize we learned many lessons that we can apply even as we 'grow older' [kicking and screaming / moaning and groaning]....
Miles between family members is also challenging. Dad Joyner has been facing a few major health issues since February. Spending time with family up in Bear Lake is pricesless. God is working in many people in their little Grace Community Church.
Justin & Tiffany in NY seems so far away. But... when we arrive at their home, it feels like an extention of ours in MI. They have great friends and share in lifes happenings in many ways.
Wednesdays are 'Trey' days at our house. We try to clear the calendar and just hang out with our grandson. Unfortunately for me work sometimes gets scheduled on that day. The little guy is crawling now. Wow is he fast! His dad, Chris restructured their bathroom and Trey loves bathing and splashing. He also gets a gleem in his eyes when his mom approaches. I think he Loves her Ton's!
Aunt Franny is busy redecorating her house for Fall. That girl has an eye for color.

We enjoyed an adventure in Eagle River, MI (in UP) at Gitchee Gumee Bible Camp.

Sure wish I had taken my flip video. Maybe a slide show will get inserted someday.

Slowing down and relaxing in God's word in the mornings sure makes for a day with a punch of love and wisdom from my Father. When I think oh man I don't have time... He makes the time and it is oh so worth it.



There is a great sermon on http://www.hillcrestjamestown.com/sites/default/files/sermons/Fake%20People%20Real%20Problems.mp3

Someone most of us know and love was God's messenger.....

Enjoy each day. Savor making memories. Know what you believe.... love to All!
