Getting Ready...

We spent the first weekend of August first was spent getting ready...ready for what?

First my middle son learning how to drive a boat...Whoa...I don't think I am ready for that...but he did a really good job, I have to admit.

While on our boat ride we saw this neat looking crane...he blended in quite well. It was a cool day so we put Sammy in the car with all the windows down while taking a short boat ride to come back and find him sound a sleep like this...Silly Dog!I Love this picture of Randy...Look in his eyes or glasses you can see all of his most prized pocessions...are you ready? It's US!!!Kind of cool huh?

Zach and Ginger enjoyed a lil bit of time just hangin' out.

But the BIG reason we headed up there was to move "our Stuff" around...

The Shed and the BIG tree have to be moved...So here we go...

The tree on the left...the two in one...one has to be cut down. :(
TIMMMBBBERRRR........


But as we cut it down we discovered that the middle was rotten...then we didn't feel quite so bad after all.

Our neighbors lot...has lots of these pretty "weeds" I mean flowers.

Malissa enjoying a lil shade for the last time from this tree any way...

And before I for get...We are making room for our future home...

Did you know? Food info....important

It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners... God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body.

God's Pharmacy!

Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes. A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics. Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

I received this information in an email. It did not indicate who I should credit to. However, I found the information quite interesting

Praying for this lil Guy...

The sun set was beautiful...here are a couple pictures...That I thought turned out neat...

Even Sam likes the pretty sunset. :)

And what is this? The FIRST signs of ELECTRICITY. An Electricl box. Woo Hoo. This means at least they are thinking of starting this project. THen water is to becoming right behind the electricity. It will be nice not to have to run a generator. And in the background...YES we also have a drive way. No more wet, muddy field to drive through. As you may know...It always seems to be raining this summer.

This is how Sammy likes ridding in the car. He has also learned that if he steps on the "button" he can roll the window down him self. Now to teach him to roll it back up.

We only were here a short 15 hours this weekend, from about 7pm Saturday night till 10Am on Sunday before the rain came again, but feel like a lot has gotten accomplished.

We ended the morning trying to catch a few fish but to no prevail...The rain was coming and we packed up and headed home early...So I decided then to head to Sioux City with the kids to eat at the Olive Garden. Mmm.
