Monday March 30 Nice healthy pigs at the unit!! That's a praise!! Denny worked all day at the computer, leaving the office only to eat with the Jensens at noon. Plus he got some afternoon exercise while he and Phillip moved the rest of the furniture up to the garage. The basement is empty...The garage is full...The cats are locked out...(Well, it's my job to keep the cats out so they don't scratch the furniture-or worse.)The Penzey moving truck is scheduled to be loaded April 10 and Phillip will drive it to Parkersburg on the 11th. Until then the family will be living in Alan and Laurie's home in Ames. Phillip's folks are in India for 3 weeks. Phillip will commute from Ames to Parkersburg starting April 1. Nice Bible study group of gals tonight. Laura, Lynn, Missy, Steph, Emily, Danielle, & me. Thank you,Lord for so many blessings!!

Sunday March 29 Last day for donuts...on a regular basis... I can still do it when Evan (or other grand kids) come to visit. Pastor said technically the service today wasn't a commissioning because Missy and Phillip aren't members of Arthur E Free ...But it was a commissioning service (basically because we are behind them with our love and prayers as they go into full time ministry at Parkersburg. Praying that God, who is able, will do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to His power that is at work...to Him be glory for ever and ever.) The music was great. Phillip's grandparents from Rohlf, Betty and Phillip Brinkman, came to the service.

Saturday March 28 Denny had planned to get some book work done...but more fun to help Missy get some pictures printed for framing and play with E&A. I did plant some seeds for this summer, but some were from 2006 and so I don't suppose they will grow. Just felt good to get in the dirt. Actually Friday I jumped the gun and put some of my dalhia plants outside. I forgot about taking them in until after the families from Bible study left and the plants had frozen...I think they will come back. Sure hope so...It looks like Anabel likes to eat them.

Friday March 27 Worked at the unit til 3. It was Neil Lerrson's 3rd day learning the ropes. He will be taking Phillip's spot the days we need him, especially the 3 days we wean 1000 pigs, move 133 sows , and spray 6 farrowing rooms. At 5:30 nine families from Bible study came for a potluck. 15 adults and 9 kids. It was really fun to have them all here.
