Christ acceptance and Geyser fun: June 14th & 16th, 1985
Diary entry...David was four years old. We lived at the Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch upstairs in Orth Lodge. Billings, Montana
June 14th: Today was another hot day, though we had a morning rain shower, it still reached 96 degrees. We went to church and they had a baptismal service. After church we had a potluck, then went grocery shopping. After we arrived home we all took a nap even though with the AC on, our upstairs apartment was still 80 degrees!
Tonight David accepted Jesus into his heart. We had a long talk and he prayed to Jesus and let him know he loved and believed in him. He is so full of questions. Rachel mentioned that if David ever died, Jesus would save him. David also came out of his room and said he disobeyed Daddy and zipped the sleeping bag up against Dad's wishes (how sweet).
June 16th: We left for a trip to Yellowstone Park to meet up with most of the Forneys for a small vacation together... David was 4; Rachel 2; and Michael a baby.

Goodbye to Howie
My sweet friend Debbie said good-bye to her 14 year old Boxer, Howie. I have put in a small portion of an email she sent me. Howie was more than a pet to her, he was her helpmate.
Howie is gone. It was the most emotionally painful moment of my life.....ever. I cried when I had Sugar Ray put down and I cried for Max... but I never fell apart like I did when Howie laid in my arms and slipped away.
I loved that dog more then I love myself.... he was everything to me and then some. I know I have Jada and Steeler...but I feel totally lost without Howie. I depended on him to let me know when the lupus was flaring. I depended on him to help me off the couch (when he was able.. I would use him as support). He told me when I needed to rest...he made me laugh out loud and smile in my sleep. He irritated me when he would follow me from room to room right on my heels or stood in front of me just staring...and now I wish more then anything he was here doing those things that drove me nuts. I would give anything to have him here with me.
He went easily. The vet gave him a shot to relax him which just about knocked him out.. he laid in my lap and I hugged him tight though the final shot.. and I laid with him and said goodbye. He was my dog Linda. He was my dog.

Didn't We Have Fun?
We had a special Sunday morning. Davy and I met Jim and Rachel at Rolling Hills Community Church (where they got married). We enjoyed an uplifting service and good message from Pastor Dale. Afterwards, we headed out to Chevy's for Mexican food.
