    Six Years Ago

    . . . we got married for life!

    "Wherefore they are no more twain,
    but one flesh.
    What therefore God hath joined together,
    let not man put assunder."
    - Matthew 19:6

    "He brought me to the banqueting house,
    and his banner over me was love."
    Song of Solomon 2:4

    "My beloved is mine,
    and I am his . . . "
    Song of Solomon 2:1b







    I love being Japheth's wife!

    Thank-you, Honey, for choosing me!

    Being married makes me anitipate even more THE MARRIAGE in heaven . . . and to think that we are chosen by God! And oh, his great love for us . . .


    ". . . But chosen of God,
    and precious."
    I Peter 2:4b

    "Numbering the People"

    One very busy mom once said, "I just can't count how many times I get up with the children" Meaning not that she couldn't count that far, but that if she let herself count she would feel worse that whole day.

    Yeah, it happens that way . . . The best way to deal with it is to bounce out of bed cheerfully! I've done it both ways and the "counting" thing just gets one worked up in a bad frame of mind to start the day.

    Each time I get to choose how I will respond . . . and lets just say that I've had PLENTY of opportunites to respong right the last few weeks with Wayne teething some more and with the colds going around.

    Kitchi Trio


    It's done . . . the long awaited cd is done! I've been playing it over and over.

    The girls\ladies kinda decided at the last moment to make this cd before Delight Yoder flew to Thailand, and somehow they managed! I know Heidi (This Side of Glory) gave alot of her time amidst taking care of her growing family to get it finished in time.

    They blend so well . . .

    Email me if your interested in purchasing one . . .


























    You will be blessed!

    I'm in Love!


    . . . with my man!

















    and the father of my boys . . . and my little girl . . .

    He gives them the greatest delights! Sunday evening he set up a board walk in the living room two 2x4's between two step ladders and had them "walking the plank".

    Although the Fig Tree . . .

    How long does it or should it take for a person to recoop from a trip?

    "Although the fig tree shall not blossom,
    neither shall fruit be in the vines;
    the labour of the olive shall fail,
    and the fields shall yield no meat;
    the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
    and there shall be no herd in the stalls:"
    Or as my version goes today:
    Although the house stays a wreck,
    and I can't seem to catch up:
    Though the children are cooped in
    because of the rain . . .
    the carrots are getting peeled and spread all over the floor,
    and still we need to do some more!
    . . . I seem to need a morning siesta
    as well as afternoon
    though there's no exuse for it now;
    It's my month to clean the church
    but were's the energy to come from . . .
    "Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
    I will joy in the God of my salvation.
    The LORD God is my strength,
    and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet,
    and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.
    To the chief singer on my stringed instruments." Habakkuk 3:17-19

    Take Me Home to Minnesota

    My dear Father-in-law came up with these words in Wisconsin after a trip in East when the miles dragged on and on . . . And yes, we sang this too on our way back.
    Minnesota has been my home for six years now. It has taken a while as adjustments do . . . but for a few years now I feel a part and I feel right at home!

    Minnesota Song
    by: Robert Stauffer

    Take me home to Minnesota
    where the wind blows wild and free;
    Take me home to Minnesota
    among the lakes and the trees;
    You can have your crowded shopping malls
    and traffic jams galore;
    I’d rather sit and meditate
    beside a peaceful shore.

    Take me home to Minnesota
    where the air is pure and clean,
    Take me home to Minnesota
    on a summer night serene,
    When you look up at the stars above
    and can touch them, so it seems;
    Take me home to Minnesota,
    the land of childhood dreams.

    Take me home to Minnesota
    where there's lots of elbow room;
    Take me home to Minnesota
    and the cry of the common loon;
    I don't fear the chill of winters wind
    or the sting of the mosquito,
    For those things don't seem to matter much
    when your love for this land grows.

    When God made Minnesota,
    it turned out as it should;
    When God saw Minnesota,
    He saw that it was good;
    From fertile plains, to wooded rills,
    to its varied industry,
    God made Minnesota beautiful,
    its just the place for me!
