Getting Caught Up...

I've gotten a bit behind on my posting of pictures and stories and I offer my profound apologies to my family and friends that like to keep tabs on my activity. Here are a few pictures to give you a taste of what has been happening with me and my family, but many more pictures will be found on my flickr account and then you can look at specific pictures by selecting one of the sets along the right side of the screen.

Sunday Afternoon in Aurora

On Sunday I brought my friend, Sonja Johnson, to Aurora to spend the day. We went to church and she met a lot of my church family. I think they hit it off really well; she just fit right in.

In the afternoon we went to the Wadell farm because Sonja wanted to ride horses. I don't know about you, but I think she may have been having second thoughts in this picture. However, she did really well for not having much riding experience.



When we walked over to the lot where the horses were we found them caked in mud, literally. It took us a while to brush the dirt off of them before they could be saddled. I think I inhaled about 2 pounds of dirt from brushing them; the wind was blowing a good portion of it right back into my face.


Delmer was getting the horses all ready for us. He walked alongside Sonja for a while to make sure she could handle the horse then set us loose for a while -- as we walked around the yard. "He's a pretty good teacher," according to Sonja.
