May already!

May is here in all it's beauty.. God's extravagant beauty all around us. The Columbia River is huge and beautiful. Can't wait to walk by it again. Wind has been too strong this Spring to go on our usual walks but I can feel it in the air... it's coming. Warm air that is!

How GREAT is our GOD... Sing it with me... how GREAT is our GOD. HIS LOVE IS EXTRAVAGANT! HIS MERCY IS EXTRAVAGANT! HIS GRACE IS EXTRAVAGANT.... IT GOES ON AND ON....

Well, you might ask, "What is this all about.
This is not a completely new subject... because of where our apartment is we have quite a lot of
exciting things happening almost every day.
This was when the Trash Truck Operator failed to deposit the Compacter safely on the walk.

It rolled off and traveled down the drive by itself.
We shouted at the driver as he went around the Car Ports and he heard us and saw the Compacter as he started to drive by.




This may sound comical but it nearly hit 3 cars as it rolled down the drive. Came very close to ours and then we were sure it was going to hit another
broadside but each time it turned just enough to miss all of them and stopped at the curb without going across the alley. Which by the way, it did another time when the wind dislodged it and had to be recovered by the Maintenance Employee with the help of our Manager. (She was in heels, if you can imagine it.) Good thing it was empty.

Here the driver is repositioning the Compacter so it will stay put!!!

Catching my Breath

Today is December 5th... And only now am catching up on the past few months.

Of course, the Tulip trip was the beginning of a whirlwind Spring; what fun we had and Oh, the Joy in the Lord.

This pic is an Easter project Liz did with some children at the Dessert Stream Bible Church in Richland. Have you guessed yet to what it is? We took shoe boxes and made scenes of the Resurrection Morning when our Lord arose. It's called a 'Peek Box'. Can you find the glow from the tomb and of course the angel who met the Mary's in the garden. White tissue paper covers the top of the box.
