Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week: 

 We thank you for the turning of the seasons

and the long days and the short nights,

for blessing us with summertime,

with sunlight and heat, and with sand and surf.

 

Grant that we may use well our summer respite

for rest and recreation and recollection

and protect us and all those we love this summer.

Wow, Everybody, Seth is awake.  Sez, Seth, "That old guy is finished & I am out of here, yippee!"  

Rosemary's Blessing

May you find truth in the week’s smallest grace

And hope in the week’s heaviest cross.

May you learn to walk a little bit slower

And to grow each day in hope and trust,

And may the God of new beginnings

Grant you a week of love and peace.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

Lord

Enlighten what’s dark in me,

Strengthen what’s weak in me,

Mend what’s broken in me,

Bind what’s bruised in me,

Heal what’s sick in me,

And lastly,

Revive whatever peace and love

Has died in me.

Amen.

Beginning their new life, Valerie and Victor Godinez, married Saturday evening.  Victor is Luciano's "little" brother.  Both brothers are doing really well.

 

 

Special Announcement: We are moving

After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood.  Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines.  Sigler will be more economical.  September 6 we begin our new adventure.

Check the map:    View this photo

Do not plan on riding your bike through the towns.  Between overnight towns, there are 5-6, always jam-packed with bikers walking.  Pictured, Fonda, just west of Fort Dodge and a few of the 15 thousand riders.

Have a Good Week, J.S

(214-783-0443)

 

 

Almost every little village had a water station, usually toward the end of the town.  A very popular stop by almost every biker. Look at that Iowa sky.

We passed a rainy night in Storm Lake, appropriately.  A second storm passed overhead at 7:00 A.M., heading west to east really swiftly.  By 8:45 we could head out following the storm, but not in rain.  The day turned beautiful and we arrived dry in the beautiful over night town of Fort Dodge, the former home of Kent & Diane.

 

 

 

 

 

Rosemary's Blessing: 
  

May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
Slow to make enemies,
Quick to make friends,
But rich or poor, quick or slow,
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
