Hopefully the bad weather in Idaho is done until this fall.
This lily plant has been all white for the last three years. I guess it decided to surprise us this year.

Looking to the Future
Fifteen years down, FIFTY to go.
So things are improving on our home front. I have one more nasty, super-antibiotic to swallow and I'm DONE! CURED (hopefully) from my "bout with Sepsis" as my doctor says, or E-Coli as my specific infection is commonly termed. It has taken two long weeks, but I'm beginning to feel some strength and energy again. I even did a little yard work the other day... and then I had to come in and take a nap, but, HEY, it's an improvement. So, I am grateful. So grateful for Heavenly Father's hand in all of this, in discovering it so timely and for the healing I feel inside and out. I am so, so grateful - thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. LOVE YOU GUYS!

A WANTED MAN!!
So we're going to keep posting but just FYI we've started a blog for our (Cindy and I) family. We'd love to hear from you there too if you're really getting into blogging: nateandcindypetersonfamily.blogspot.com
So I drove down to St. George this past weekend to attend the wedding of a girl whose father I worked for through high school. On my way home I got pulled over (the officer said 89 but I was only doing 83, I know still speeding so I didn't say anything :)) and given a ticket ($107 ouch). When the officer returned to my car he asked if I was aware that there was a warrant out for my arrest. I instantly thought that my identity had been stolen and that this was going to get ugly. I told him that I had no idea and he proceeded to remind me of a ticket I was issued last June for failing to use my blinker (OK I actually swerved across four lanes of traffic so that I wouldn't miss my exit but he was kind enough to write me up for failing to signal). I knew I'd paid the ticket and told him that I had a receipt. He asked if I had it on me and when I obviously did not he told me all the things he was supposed to do (take me to jail, impound my car, etc.) but said he was going to make a note that he'd talked with me and that if I was pulled over again without having taken care of it I would be booked. I spent all day looking through my electronic receipts with no luck. My electronic bank statements only went back to the end of June 2007. I thought I was going to have to pay $206.50 to clear my warrant but I finally found a paper copy of my statement and the carbon copy of my check stub.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Keep your receipts..... or don't break the law... :)
