I am taking out my short, trusty pencil to get back on the responding side of my three blogging children. Memorial day had been very tiring so far. Tim and Kristen came over with Megan to help get the pool liner tucked back in. They were such helpers as I got blisters on my thumbs from pushing up and guiding liner this morning. Kristen laughed when I got in more cold water than I had planned when my feet slipped out and took a cold plunge. I wish Kayla was here, because the water was so cold and she had me go swimming last summer on some cold days. The hair dryer did help expand the vinyl and Tim and Kristen really became quite skilled. I ended up with a bruised looking toe that was bitten or something laying on the concrete and working from above in the deeper end. Kristen remembers Roger Burnham jumping in the cold water and helping John (We think) some years ago. Tinm and I grilled some chicken and pork after cooking 40 hamburgers and 32 hot dogs to start with for the Schlesinger children. Tim commented about all the smoke going the wrong direction from the charcoal grill. Grandpa and Grandma Riffel joined us for the noon meal (lunch or dinner, take your choice)just past 1:00 PM. The garbage was taken out and the buggies put back in place. I have done almost nothing and am exhausted like working a long day. I am having a 24 ounce Mountain Dew to help me do four blog responses since the first one to John and Bethany automatically deleted due to operator error. Second time here and Kristen is going to see that all is good. (I think she wants to see what i write so she can laugh at her dad.<br />Rest yup form the Israel trip and hopefully the school mentality t=returns for John. Trust all goes well on the house situation. Bye for now.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Dad VarnerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310696879821750761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599665572864382644.post-88495467885068035752009-05-25T03:51:11.183-05:002009-05-25T03:51:11.183-05:00I too was following your trip through the blog whi...I too was following your trip through the blog which was a great idea. I loved reading your and John's (and the others' too but yours were my favorite) posts and seeing pictures of you two there! (I clicked on the comment "thing" once but it needed me to sign in and I didn't take time to go through that process as I was a little lazy and also guessing you'd put something on here at some point and I could comment then. :-)<br /><br />Anyway, I so understand about the finding it difficult to put it into adequate words -- been there so many times here! <br /><br />So excited about the house! Wow! Okay, I admit it, this is the Varner in me, but I think it is great that you were content to live where you were despite it not being your heart's desire (and you made it so wonderful inside despite what you got to walk through to get inside :-). And then God gave you your heart's desire in this area. So happy for you guys.Karishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04594849577438057227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599665572864382644.post-6348722435465938382009-05-24T21:27:55.513-05:002009-05-24T21:27:55.513-05:00not sure if you remember me, bethany? we're dan a...not sure if you remember me, bethany? we're dan and karis' good friends. anyway, i loved reading about your recent blessing of a new house. it is so amazing to us how the Lord continues to bless us over and over too. i'm a little jealous of your trip to israel! =) i've always thought that would be awesome. enjoy setting up your new place!Becky Gravleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948047159859668904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599665572864382644.post-57224294639400437412009-05-24T17:44:37.193-05:002009-05-24T17:44:37.193-05:00Welcome home, John and Bethany -- to your new home...Welcome home, John and Bethany -- to your new home!!! We can't wait to hear about your trip, and we enjoyed reading and seeing the pictures that were online. We'd get really excited when we saw one or the other or both of you in the pictures! We praise the Lord for answering our prayer to keep you safe and to give you a wonderful time there.<br />Love,<br />Mom V.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310696879821750761noreply@blogger.com
