New Adventure

Well, I did it I sign up for a dance class, yes I did! I've loved to dance have since I was little girl when I would dance with my Daddy. I grow up around people who love to dance, I watch my aunts and uncles dance, Mom & Dad too! I remember being at Grandma Ballard's and watching American Bandstand with my Aunts Karen and Sharon and dancing around the living room. Was great fun!!!!!

As a little girl I dream of being a great dancer, just being graceful and moving with the beat of the music was my dream, being one with music. Dancing lessons weren't in our budget as I was growing up so I just listen to the music and move along with it. Watched my family dance and watch movies and copied the moves.

When Carrie was little she wanted to be in dance so we put her in dance through the park system the Mpls. She had great fun, (I hope she did) have the cutes picture of her in her costume for the recital. She and our neighbors daughter Jody dance together, they did it for couple of years then they didn't offer it anymore. Wonder if Carrie remember any of the tab dance steps?

Well, like I said I signed up with a studio in North Branch, about 20 minutes from home for Tap dance and Hip Hop. First session begins 9/15/09 order tab shoes so here I go into an new adventure of making a childhood dream come true.

They have other types of dance classes too, but can't seem to get Virgil interest in going with me. Maybe some day. Will keep the updates coming on how it goes. I think we all should try to make our dreams and density come true if we can, as they say nothing ventured nothing gain.

God Bless all,

Swallow of Long Lake

As you can see by the picture above that we have swallows who seem to love our new pontoon. Seems after we put the boat in the water (or I should say after Virgil put the boat in the water I was in Nicaragua then in Ca when this event happen), thinking he would be using it, but like weather here in MN it turn cold in May and so the boat set on the lift and didn't move. Well with out our permission a swallow couple built a nest under the platform to the boat. With me being gone all that time and him working the boat didn't move. So what's a bird to think Wow great place for new home to bring up babies.

The things is I love to watch birds and all the wildlife here on the lake, so we left the nest and just used the boat and they seem okay with us taking it out and the nest stay they welcome us back each time we when out. The problem we now seem to have is the pontoon has be come the place to be if your a swallow. The numbers began to grow from just the 8 in the nest to 10,12,15 and this morning when I got up there seem be so many more.

When I told Virgil about all the birds I told him it reminder me of the Alford Hitchcock movie the Birds, the screen where the lady is setting on the bench with the jungle gym and the school behind her with only a few birds setting on the jungle gym, then more and more keep coming and when she looked back the whole things was cover. Well, with that I'm off the to get a plastic owl to put on the boat. Virgil and I had talked about getting an plastic owl to put on the boat, but never did. BUT that now will change.

I got one and it now sets on the boat, will need to move it around every few days but that I can do. So we will see what happens, I really don't mind the ones that are nest under the boat but they just need to not have friends over.

While I'm blogging here is update on Virgil, he is back to work full time he's in his 2nd week so far so good. He still has lots of aches and pain but its just been 4 weeks today since the accident and the healing will take some time still use pain meds now and again. He is still have problems with the left shoulder, will need to make a follow up appointment with his VA Doctor to have her check it out. His birthday is Friday the 7th so glad he is here to celebrate it! Carrie will be coming out for the weekend, for her Dads birthday and to spend time at the lake. Mike and Sam (the dog) will not be coming with they are having a boys weekend with his pals up north. Carrie is bring one of her friends out so looking forward to meeting her. Should be great weekend they keep tell us weather is going to be warmer sure hope so. I'm really missing the summer weather and the sunshine.

Well need to go and get some dinner started. God bless who come to read my chatter! Deborah :)

August 1st

Well here we are in the last month of summer and its still not here! Another cool day with more clouds than sun. Was up early watch the wildlife on the lake, the birds and squirrels were up early. Virgil slept in this morning so we had late breakfast which he fixed, (he does eggs better than I do).

I love this morning when we just take time to talk, we talked about family and what is going on with everyone. We talked about work and his plans (will go in this morning for few hours). We talked about our future plans, when building is sold, we sell business and then are completely retired. Where to live what to keep, to stay here for more west? Sell both houses, keep lake home, some many questions so many plans, If this happens we can do this, if that happens we will do that.

He said he is still on track with his 5 year plan for us and the business, we just have to hang tough through the slow down of the economic. I have full confidence that God will see us though it all, he is our supply. There is no resection in Heaven! I want to live in His Kingdom economic. I thank him for his meeting our needs in all things. He is a Good God all the time!!

Now to change the subject, I finally got a few picture of the birdbath being used, by birds and squirrel as well. May all who read these thought be bless and have a great weekend where ever you are. God bless you, Deborah :)
