....Speaking of Lord of the Rings Triology, I just finished watching them back to back on Sat. and was rather comatose by the end. That left me thinking - just were would Middle Earth be if Strider had hit dirt instead of water when the Woag knocked him over the clif?? Who would tosh Gimlee to the hordes of Orcs on the bridge? What would have happened to Eowin - would she have walked the dead forest forever??? Gasp!!!
And aren't you glad Mr Ledger didn't depart us in the middle of something? What a waste. Dork, stupid, idiot...... . Who else could get Matt Damon to squeal like a little girl ..........I will miss him greatly. I truely am sadden by this senseless death :(
But so as not to daudle in melancholy I really do think its time for a new Pierce Brosnan film. Especially something dashing :)

It's been a bit, but lots of things swimming inside my head (no not literally....this time!)
As promised - photos from the trip! Excuse the low quality of some of the photos - they were from a phone.

waiting for pictures
YES, I know I still haven't posted pictures from the trip - I haven't picked them up yet. So to appease you, here is one of Kate at our church tail gate party this past Sunday...another artist emerges! (oh no........) Kate is the one in the hat, that would be Leala facing the camera.

A very smart blog from Kate
Hey Ladies,
Well Im going off on a tangent here, because this is something I feel very strongly about!
Alright so first off lets get the reason behind this little chat: I was sitting in study hall and the two girls on both sides of me agreed the shorter the skirt the better. And I got to thinking about that. Like why do we show ourselves off like that? Well duh to attract guys! Right? Then I got a bit ticked. Why do guys get called 'Hott' when all they do is wear jeans and a t-shirt but a chick to be considered Hott has to put on loads of make up, and dress showing great amounts of flesh??THAT AINT RIGHT!
Then I thought what would happen if our 'dress codes' were switched!! And what if a guy's hottness was determined on the amount of makeup and flesh showing? Think about Brad Pitt in a mini skirt and a v necked tank with tons of eye shadow on! It just wouldn't look right! So why does it look right on a girl? Why cant girls be judged on the masculinity and smarts that we have?
Listen to the song "I'll make a Man Out Of You!" Sing it to yourself the next time you look at a skirt.
Now im not saying we shouldn't wear skirts and make up! But lets go Modest and say if a 'guy doesn't look right wearing that then we shouldnt either!' Or rather, "If you were going on a date with Jesus would you wear it?"
Just another rant,

We're Back
This will be short as I am feeling a bit "yuky". (I like technical terms like that.) We are back from our most excellent adventure. We had camera trouble after the first day - so I am unsure of what we will be able to post. I have a few saved on my phone, but am finding that the Pixel-ness of them is rather irritating. C'est la vie.
On a whole other venue, I have found the "clinical" name for what I suffer with. It is called "destructive thinking". I personally thought it should be called "can I badger myself any further??" Self-doubt, persecution complex, spiraling into I haven't got a clue on anything...... Well then. Now that I know what I have been doing to myself for years is real and that others suffer from it also (so I am not just being dumb). I can work thru it better. My goal is to no longer wake up in the middle of the night and beat myself up over money, past relationships, future expenses, work, etc... I look forward to mornings when I can jump out of bed and not feel that apprehension that usually attacks me before my eyes are open. So why am I babbling on about this. In case someone else out there has the same issue. Read this blog for a tongue in cheek description. Peace. Seriously.

Summer
A long break it has been from posting......this summer certainly is flying by. Between the 2 midnight shifts and then leaving the next day with an hour of sleep to catch up to the MS TRAM bike tour at Wadena.....this week has just zoomed by. Hoping to catch on my sleep at some point this week......warning to the wise -- the trains that zoom thru Wadena (all night long) use their whistles very liberally!!
The MS Tram is a 290 mile bike run over 5 days that raises money for Multiple Sclerosis. This year over $1 MILLION was raised by 1200 riders. Youngest independant rider was 8 yrs old and the oldest was 88. There were kids riding on tandems that were 3 years old! And the volunteers that support these amazing people were a fun group to work with. This is a benefit that I would be happy and proud to help with again! As first aid I saw very minor medical things which gave me ample time to converse with riders. The farthest someone had traveled to do this, was from outside Manchester, England. Most folks were just good ol Minnesnowtans.
Kate has been gone basically for the last 5 weeks to church camp as a 1st year counselor. She reports that she doesn't want to leave! but then again she is a bit homesick at times. This upcoming week will be her last of the summer. I imagine next weekend will be tough as she will be leaving all of her new friends.
Well, more later as I am falling to sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzz..................................
