Today we celebrated Danny's birthday. He is truly a blessing even at the age of 13 as we found out today. Dad and Mom sure love you Danny, and daily thank God for you.
Good Moisture
Larry just took this photo looking east out of the window just behind the computer monitor. God is quite an artist, we just get to record it in various forms.
COFFEE IS ON
Lori Wilken of Wilkens Angus always claims to have the coffee pot on and invites all to stop in for "a good cup of coffee". We have enjoyed some of that coffee. But if you can't quite make it to Faith, South Dakota to get a good shot of "cowboy coffee"... we generally have the pot on as well. And the welcome mat is always out. Check out Gary and Lori Wilken's bull sale coming up in a couple of weeks. And whether you are at the Wilken's Ranch or the Lonetree... make sure you take some time for quality fellowship.
Can Hardly Wait
The prospects of The Ol' Swimming Hole filling up look much improved as the snow continues to fall. The Reinhold kids can hardly wait, as seen in this fun picture from this afternoon. Weather report... Snow falling at the rate of an inch an hour and temperature at 15 degrees. (Must be the Scandinavian bloodlines)
FOREVER IS AS FAR AS I'LL GO
In May of 1991 God was making it quite obvious that Robin Paulton would be "that special someone" In December 1991 we were married and that is why I get to be part of that special Fourth of July family gathering at Jack and Ellen Paulton's place. As I was writing this, a special song came through our playlist. One of the few country songs in the list. Alabama sang a song back then that we had sung at our wedding reception. It is still true today. LBR
FOREVER IS AS FAR AS I'LL GO
I'll admit I could feel it
The first time that we touched.
The look in your eyes
Said you felt as much
But I'm not a man
Who falls so easily
It's best that you know
Where you stand with me
I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.
When there's age around my eyes
And gray in your hair
And it only takes a touch to recall
The love we've shared
I won't take for granted
That you know my love is true
Each night in your arms
I will whisper to you.
I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.
