Muscular Dystrophy Association

Today all the Fire Dept. volunteers did the "fill the boot" fundraiser for children with Muscular Dystrophy. So me and Gideon and Bridger headed out to be one of those people holding a boot for people to put money into. We were dancing a long the street and smiling at a lot of people. It was a lot of fun and the boys did really good. I had Bridger on my back for most of the day...Yes I am sore tonight and Gideon spent most of his time right next to me playing in the construction piles of dirt and rocks along the road. :) They made a lot of money and people were very generous.
Then they had the huckleberry festival's parade that goes through the town of Donnelly, Yes it is a short parade but fun enough to enjoy. Bridger mommy and Gideon all got to ride in a fire truck and throw candy and wave at people. I got the party going with the loud speaker....Yeah that was fun. A guy I work with , Jason, I think he was embarrassed. Oh well. It was a good time :) I really enjoy the volunteers at the fire dept. Very down to earth and good nice people. Some would say a little rough, I would just say they are fun to be around.
Joseph worked down in new meadows finishing up a job that took about a month to do because of weather and equipment breaking. He is really glad to be done there.
Well Our transmission went out in our truck so we just got it re-built with a heavy duty trany in it. I hope it is a lot better than it was. I hope we can pick it up soon too.
I have had to use Dan and Lisa's car a lot lately, (My in laws) and Dad Jones I think I know why your sciatic nerve got so bad there for a while. I think it is your car. Ever since I have started driving it around my leg has killed me from my low back all the way down to my knee and then it makes me almost collapse coming out of the car but as soon as I walk it off I am fine and it only hurts when I am in your car. Just a thought. So I am really looking forward to having the truck back but grateful that I have had a car to use for the past short while.
It hasn't been the warmest August that I remember. It has been pretty chilly around here lately. I went huckleberry picking this week and got about 8 cups of berries. Yum Yum!!
Our friends have officially moved but I took their family pictures by their place before they left, It was with my video camera so not the best resolution but hey it works :) Scott and Eva and their kids, Anniston and Luke.
