Tim & Vanessa Lorentzen Family!

May 2nd - Snow!  Wind!  Sounds like North Dakota!  Yes we have had a week of ugly spring weather but we will take moisture in any form.  Hollis has one week of school left and is in a play this Thursday and Friday.  The guitar recital was last week and was really good.  He played with the ensemble and then he and the teacher played a song.  Gas prices came down for a week to $2.08 but are back up again to the $2.15 range.  Still been walking but it has not been as much fun in this weather.

May 9th - Rain (and wind) and a lot of it!  Thank you Lord!  We had a good Saturday at the Heritage Center.  A bunch of locals pickers put together a day called Heritage Music and there were workshops and jam sessions all day.  Hollis is done with school except for exams.  He was in a play and did a really good job.  I am working nights this week (and last Thursday and Friday) as the gal who works nights is on vacation.  This is a picture of Zion and I riding bike.  On Saturday night I told him we would camp out and after the rain started we still did!  In the back of the Suburban backed into the garage!

May 16th - well my 7 days of working nights is over!  That is good!  The family played at a fund raiser yesterday - did a good job.  We played for 4 hours with Jasper playing 15 minute sets while the rest of us took a break.  It was exhausting but good.  Then went up and helped Holly scrape and paint the trim on her house.  They are moving to Rapid City at the end of May and getting their house ready for sale.  Had a lot of rain last week and cool weather.  It was nicer yesterday and today is looking good.

May 23rd - More nice weather.  Getting some house and yard work done.  Starlit played in a violin recital yesterday and then we went to 3 graduation open houses up in Washburn.  Friday evening Vanessa, Jazmyn and I went to graduation in Wing.  3 graduates of which 1 was Ashley Wagner a girl that Vanessa taught violin.  Had a good time.  My good buddy Rick is moving to a different shop so the boys have been busy helping him.  I have helped some as I have time.  Jasper spent 2 days helping Holly scrape and paint on their house.  Jazmyn is really into FOOD!  What a character!

May 31st - WAW!  That would be What A Week!  Helped Rick move the shop - helped Nick and Holly move - made a trip to Rapid City and back - towed Nicks car down and had the Suburban full of things we just could not get in the U-Haul.  George came out for the weekend.  Richard & Jan's oldest daughter Lisa died (she had epilepsy and had a seizure while home alone in the bathtub) on Sunday so pray for the whole family.  She was 26.  Byron & Yvonne, Estelle and Josiah and Paige with the triplets are up for a visit.  Had supper at John & Darcy's last night with them all.  Norman came up also so Grace had all 4 of her kids together.
