257<h1><a name="dogs">Dog Days of Summer</a></h1>
258
259<p>This post is just for dog lovers. If they are like me, they like to see cute pictures of other people&#8217;s dogs as much as their own, so here are a few photos of the dogs I&#8217;ve spent time with this summer. </p>
260
261<p>Starting with the cutest of them all of course:</p>
262
263<p>
263<img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0074.jpg" alt="bella1" title="" /></p>
264
265<p>Our friends&#8217; dog named Jorja (Shih Tzu):</p>
266
267<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0191.jpg" alt="jorga" title="" /></p>
268
269<p>One of Bella&#8217;s playmates that live in the apartment complex is Joe (Cocker Spaniel):</p>
270
271<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0237.jpg" alt="joe" title="" /></p>
272
273<p>This is Sam and Annie. Bella hasn&#8217;t been able to play with them yet, but I like playing with them when I am visiting my friend (Dachshunds):</p>
274
275<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0327.jpg" alt="samannie" title="" /></p>
276
277<p>David and I had the pleasure of taking care of a friend&#8217;s dogs for a few weeks: Orion, Hera and Letto (Pit bulls):</p>
278
279<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0385.jpg" alt="three" title="" /></p>
280

318<h1><a name="bethanne">Things we have been up to this Summer (Part 2)</a></h1>
319
320<p>The biggest part of my summer has been taken up by loving on, and building a friendship with a gal in our new Bible study. </p>
321
322<p>Beth Anne was pregnant and having a really rough time of it. Gall stones on top of other issues. She was in a lot of pain, and on a lot of pain meds take the pain away.  The doctors wanted to wait with an operation until after the baby was born. Beth  needed someone to stay with her while her hubby was in class, so she wouldn&#8217;t have to worry about falling asleep while watching her 4 year old.</p>
323
324<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0767.jpg" alt="Aydens truck" title="" /></p>
325
326<p>Ayden is a typical 4 year old bundle of energy! His favorite thing to do is play outside, so we would go out as much as possible. </p>
327
328<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0772.jpg" alt="Bed cuddles" title="" /></p>
329
330<p>When I wasn&#8217;t playing outside with Ayden I was usually in bed with Beth and our two dogs. That was my favorite part, just talking with Beth. It was very relaxing. </p>
331
332<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0788.jpg" alt="beth hospital" title="" /></p>
333
334<p>After weeks of just managing pain, living in bed, and eating a very strict diet, the pain was unbearable, and I took Beth to the hospital to get things checked out, again. What an afternoon that was! Beth learned a LOT. The biggest thing she learned is that half of the pain she was feeling wasn&#8217;t the gall stones, but were contractions! This was a turning point for Beth. The next time I visited her after this hospital visit, she was night and day different. From being in bed and grumpy about pain, she was up and making supper for her family and smiling! It was great to see! </p>
335
336<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0881.jpg" alt="baby michiah" title="" /></p>
337
338<p>Unfortunately, she had to wait through another couple weeks of contractions before baby Michah decided to show up. But show up he did! </p>
339
340<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0882.jpg" alt="ayden water" title="" /></p>
341
342<p>Ayden loves his brother! (and is still a 4 year old bundle of boy energy!)</p>
343
344<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0886.jpg" alt="Beth" title="" /> </p>
345
346<p>And Beth is better and smiling. Although she has had a rough couple of weeks since the delivery. Thankfully her dad was here to help out. She had surgery and the road to recovery had a few complications, but she is back to smiling again today. And I look forward to becoming great friends with the &#8220;new&#8221; Beth Anne! :) (Love You Beth!)</p>

363<h1><a name="summerpart1">Things we have been up to this Summer (Part 1)</a></h1>
364
365<p>I had a fantastic time at the Spoon Carver&#8217;s Gathering, and I think David did too. I was one of the demonstrators this year, and had a lot of fun being a bit more involved. Usually I get pretty shy and like to do a lot of watching, but it was kind of hard to stay behind the scenes when people come up and ask me questions about what I&#8217;m going to be talking about, etc. It was good for me :) </p>
366
367<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0480.jpg" alt="Demonstration" title="" /></p>
368
369<p>(David took photos of me during the demonstration.)</p>
370
371<p>I throughly enjoy looking at other people&#8217;s spoons. Every time I get home from a Gathering, I pour over my photos and wish I had taken more so I could get more details of the spoons. Here are a few of my favorites.</p>

374
375<p>(Photo by Ron, MVAS Director) These are by Jarrod. I am pleased to say that I bought two bowls and a plate from him this year, and David and I love them. If you want to read more about them, check out <a href="http://jarofwood.com/spoon-carvers-blog/">Jar of Wood</a>.</p>

399<p>Harley Refsal was another of the demonstrators. He spent time talking about the history of the Scandinavian spoon. I love hearing about the back ground of wood spoons. It gives carving more depth. </p>

402
403<p>This photo is actually from last years Gathering, I didn&#8217;t get as good of a photo this year, and if I am correct, David took this one. Jarrod was another demonstrator again this year, and demonstrated bowl carving. I really enjoy his work. </p>

406
407<p>One of my favorite parts of the Gathering, besides coming home remotivated and excited about carving, is the relaxed atmosphere and fellowship of people with similar interests. If you are a spoon carver, come join us next year! First weekend in June. Milan, Minnesota. </p>

426<p>A Massive Catch-Up</p>
427
428<p>It&#8217;s not for lack of activity that I haven&#8217;t been updating our web site. It&#8217;s been a crazy spring for us. Here is a little bit of why:</p>
429
430<p>Less than two weeks after I arrived home from Grammie&#8217;s Funeral, David and I drove to:</p>
431
432<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_8449.jpg" alt="Mississippi" title="" /></p>
433
434<p>To join my family to work with Christian Reformed World Relief Committee&#8217;s (CRWRC) Disaster Response Services (DRS). My parents help DRS twice a year  or more, and love it and wanted us to join them for a week. We worked for a week getting a new house ready for a woman and her children. </p>
435
436<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_8513.jpg" alt="houses" title="" /></p>
437
438<p>David spent the whole week figuring out the electrical stuff for the house. </p>
439
440<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/DSC00237.jpg" alt="david" title="" /></p>
441
442<p>I helped paint.</p>
443
444<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_5844.jpg" alt="painting" title="" /></p>
445
446<p>We defiantly enjoyed the warm weather!</p>
447
448<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_5874.jpg" alt="water" title="" /></p>
449
450<p>Loved visiting Jon and Eryn, even though it was brief.</p>
451
452<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_6782.jpg" alt="Joneryn" title="" /></p>
453
454<p>And got a fly by Visit with Lynda!!!!</p>
455
456<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_6764.jpg" alt="lynda" title="" /></p>
457
458<p>After we returned home, I should have been quick to share photos and all that, but quite frankly, I was tired, and pregnant. So I didn&#8217;t do a whole lot of anything. </p>
459
460<p>Unfortunately we had another miscarriage. Not just a miscarriage, but a long, drawn-out affair that might have included twins. We didn&#8217;t talk about it much, because I didn&#8217;t want the attention and sympathy. But God! Is good and I am healing emotionally too. </p>
461
462<p>I turned my new energy into usefulness and cleaned out our guest room.</p>
463
464<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0141.jpg" alt="guestroom" title="" /></p>
465
466<p>And spring brought me into gardening. I found out that our stair landing gets an extra 2-3 hours of sun, so I&#8217;ve planted tomatoes down there as well a few other things. </p>
467
468<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0401.jpg" alt="garden" title="" /></p>
469
470<p>I also spent a month and a half finishing up old spoons and making a new batch. </p>
471
472<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0257.jpg" alt="spoons" title="" /></p>
473
474<p>We spent a week and a half taking care of a friends dogs. That was an adventure, but I love them!</p>
475
476<p><img src="http://thehjellejar.com/Library/Pictures/IMG_0385.jpg" alt="dogs" title="" /></p>
477
478<p>And this past weekend was the Annual Spoon Carver&#8217;s Gathering. It was a blast! </p>
479
