A Day At Work For Steve

This is a view of the mountain that Steve's crew just logged.

This is the tower and the shovel

If you look UP the hill, you can see another tower that will finsih logging

whats on the ground. You log uphill, so you always have a tower on top

of a mountain.

You can see the down trees on the left side of the pic.

We were offloading the brush from the tree job, John told Steven it was fine to add to the brush pile.

These are the coils that Steve is always talking about packing up the hills. .

they are freakin' heavy!! Holy cow!!

This is a block that he also carries! ahhh!

That top row of trees in the background is where he has to carriy these things to tomorrow! AHHHHH 10 coils and a few blocks. . .

Poor old man!

TIMBER. . .Again.

When Luell and I got done at Wren's, she dropped me off up the hill to take pics of Steve cutting down the neighbor's problem tree. Both houses you see here, belong to little old ladies, and they were afraid that this tree had seen its last BIG storm, and didnt want it to crash on them this winter when the winds start blowing!! SO they call their favorite tree man! Ha!

He had this much done before I got there. . limbed it up that high so far. . Terry was helping with the clean up and packing. . .taking down the tree is the "easy" part, the cleaning up the tons of mess is tough!

I think I would wet myself if I was up the with the wind whipping like that!

Top coming off!!

Now its taking the tree down in chunks to avoid breaking anything with the tree coming down whole.

THUD!

Thud again!! HA

See the fallout?? Ha

Terry working. . .

Free wood for this winter as a bonus. .

And there ya go!!

My Friend Wren

Today was Steven's BD, so Luell and I took him out to lunch at McD's, I know,we're big spenders!! HA, after we had eaten, Luell had a couple of errands to run, so I went with her and Steven headed home to get ready to do a tree job. Nice way to spend your BD, eh??

Wren's shop is called The Wren's Nest, and while Luell was purchasing a gift, I snapped a couple of shots for you to see how cool her store is. She is an FTD floral shop, so if you ever want to send me flowers, there ya go!! HA
Her candles are soy wax, I think, and smee heavenly!! OMH!

Wren and Luell!

She sells jewerly and "stuff" too.

This Week. . .In Photo. .

This was Sunday afternoon, GM Ida came to see Taylor
This was Monday morning. . it had rained a bit. . .and the dumb PO was
flooded again!! AH! I had to park way over there on the left, haul my trays and BIG BAGS
of magazines thur the rain to avoid getting my KNEES wet in the
flood!!


Elders came by on Thursday night to say HI, they were on splits with the fellas
from Coos Bay I think.

LOVE IT!!!! This is a photo we took to give to Glenn Beck! We are gong to see him next Sat. in Seattle! Sue and Steve couldnt come tonight cuz Sue hurt her back, but THEY are going with Steven and I to see Beck!! HA!

We talked about the corruption in Washington, and health care and taxes, we talked about

the similarities in Washington today with those in Zarahemla. . the secret combinations. .

we talked about the 9/12 rally and the wonderful feeling we got to see others of the same mind

cheering us on!! We talked about the Constitution and how to help our country get back to its roots the founding fathers gave us. . .which came from GOD!!

We are scheduling another night soon!! It was so much fun!!

We were celebrating Steve's BD too. . its today!!

Happy Birthday Steve!!

Taylor Spends the Night

Sat after the rally, we got to see Taylor! So see came over and we watched the BYU game! Thrilling for a 6 yr old, I know! But she read to me, and we took pics too!



After the game was over, we went to get ice cream!

and she had a dance with McBurgler. . then home to watch a movie with papa and I "Hansel and Gretel" mercy, what a dorky movie!!

She got to stay the night, and this was at breakfast Sunday morning! oh my!

GM Ida came over to braid Tay's hair, good job, eh?

9/12 Update From Washington DC

Up to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama's spending in 'tea-party' demonstration

Holy Cow, this makes our 60 look like 60! HA. . but we all make the difference.

I heard a great quote in church today from Sister Nola

"Stuff doesn't happen because you CARE,

stuff happens because you ACT"

No truer words for whats going on with our country today!!

STAND UP AND GET BUSY
