Matt Loves Animals
When Matt is around animals he is a different guy. Still my sweet son, but the animals touch his heart and he opens up. It's like he becomes one with them, feeling and communicating there needs for them. This is truly amazing when he rarely communicates his own needs!!
Poultry Barn at Will County Fair
Friendly folks . .
This guy was loud (think attempting to take on another cock in a different cage), but also a true ham!!
Lots of winners here!!
He actually wanted me to take a second photo . .

2nd Premium on My Baby Gown!!
This is a project I started years ago. It's been neglected in my craft bin waiting for me to make time for myself. This last winter I began to dig through my bin and resolved to finish all my old projects.
It's good therapy to clear out the old making room for the new!!
1st Premium on My Crazy Quilt!!
Wow!! This was my very first crazy quilt!! I am so excited/hyper/wound up!!!

I thought you would be interested in the following: http://reut.rs/2bMnsfE If you would like to receive news articles delivered to your email address, please subscribe at http://www.reuters.com/newsmails.
As I read through this article about a tragedy that hit a primarily unpopulated area yet still caused countless deaths and destroyed so many homes, I had to stop and think again about all the EQs we are way overdue for here in the USA. Living in Chicagoland, I am aware daily that the New Madrid fault line is long overdue for a major EQ and that the last major EQ was felt as far away as Boston, Massachusetts! That being said, it is a good time to thank God it hasn't hit here yet, and to begin getting better prepared.
If a 9.0 EQ hit near you today would your home survive? What about your workplace? Your kid's school? Your parent's house?
If an EQ broke dams and levy's north of you would the ensuing flood affect your family?
Would you be prepared to help in this disaster?
Would you be a victim?
Would you be able to protect your family and possessions from looting and riots?
How does your area handle power outages? Civil disagreements? Intense weather?
A lot to think about.

My week has been long, as in last week never ended but simply merged with this week . . . completely without my permission!! And last week (and the one before) were mega stressful . . . so, I have been overwhelmed, but trying to hang onto a song I love: "Thy Will be Done" https://youtu.be/PAmh3yvmzXs
I know the tough times we are going through right now are preparation for what's coming next. I know He has amazing things for Matt and I, but we have to be stronger and 110% more self-sufficient.
These growing pains we are going through now are taking us to the next level in His Divine Plan for our small lives. This growth is absolutely necessary.
Thy Will alone, Lord!!

As I read this verse I am reminded that I am not to be too attached to where I am now as this is not what He has planned for my future. I need to step back (been doing a lot of that lately), take a deep breath and remember I am a Child of God!! Stop looking at the mess swirling around me and look ahead to where He has planned to lead me next.
Now that's a happy thought!!

Water Crisis
https://www.rt.com/usa/356768-east-chicago-lead-contamination/
IMHO (in my humble opinion), after watching all that went on and what was and wasn't done to protect the Flint residents, and now watching it happen yet again, it is my belief that every American citizen should have their water privately tested then post those results publicly online. The same for soil tests.
Even though it appears (to me) that these crisis are hitting those in poverty, we all need to understand that water supply areas do cross economic boundaries. For example, one water supply line could easily service impoverished and wealthy neighborhoods. Soil contamination works the same way. Contaminated soil has no rules as to where it should/shouldn't blow. A strong wind comes up and that parched summer earth is blown into every nearby neighborhood.
Honestly it doesn't look like local or national governments care enough to do testing we can trust then openly release those findings to us. It's 100% up to American citizens at this point.
If we want our kids safe and healthy we have to get facts, publicize it then go en mass to all city, county and state board meetings until action is taken.
Together we can change this!!
10,000 Step Challenge ~ 195%
