6/30/2009 6:32:06 AM OH NO NOT AGAIN! Here’s another image of my injury. This time it’s on my face. I’m thinking rather than an insect bite, I’ve got a staff infection. I know, I know, it’s not called staff, rather steph (or something like that) My spell checker is going bananas. I looked up on webmd to educate myself on what I’ve got, and it’s not pretty. I have an appointment to see the Dr. this AM. Here’s a photo attached to this blog.

6/28/2009 6:38:13 AM DEAR GOD: Thank you for sending Jesus on the cross for me. Today I plan to walk to my other church, faith community. They meet at the Y. I collect CD’s from the service. Dear God .. I pray for our country daily. I pray that our current BO administration will come to the realization that they’re heading in the wrong direction. I am looking for some other political party to join. The Republicans have disappointed me. Perhaps the Constitution Party is more to my liking. I need to do some more homework on that. Is there a common sense party out there I can join? How about starting a tea party? I’ve been doing some domain searches on the web and there’s all kinds of opportunities out there. I’m very content with our domain name though. Why buy any more? I’m getting old my Lord. Yesterday I proceed to turn on the stove burner and turned on the wrong one. The kitchen was engulfed in smoke as a pan with grease in it reacted to the heat. My prayer Lord is to help me ...

6/27/2009 5:09:14 AM JACKO & ELIVIS I don’t know about you, but I’m getting overdosed on Michael Jackson’s death. I’d like to know more about my dream girl, Farrah Faucett. She died a day or two earlier. Somewhere I used to have her famous poster. Sally would NOT let me put her poster in our bedroom… OH WELL. I’ll make my weakly-weekly video blog too and mention this death. NOTE TO SELF! This past week has been very eventful in my not so uneventful life.

6/26/2009 7:14:02 AM DEAR GOD: It is well with my soul. I am currently listening to Lori Line playing on the piano that song. My mind goes back years ago to my father, Adolph G. Holter. This was my DAD’s favorite song, among many others. We were at Mount Carmel one year at a chapel service and they played this song. I remember my father looking back at me and smiling. He knew and I knew that it is well my soul. Can I have this song played at my funeral? That’s about it for my daily blog. myron@myownfaith2.com

My interview with "BIG-M" went very well. Notice in the background our official picture of Sally & myself. Mark has agreed to be our carergiver someday and we appreciate it very much. Love you son YOUR DAD

6/25/2009 7:07:08 AM COMPLETE STREETS: Yesterday Sally & I attended a complete street meeting at Landon Middle School. It was interesting. The gentleman presenting the power point shared with us the benefits of having bike trails and walking areas next to the roads. He made a lot of sense. Jim Ogle of WIBW TV was the moderator. The YMCA is in support of this program. Sally works at the SW YMCA. A lot of the employees were in attendance. DR. GOERI NG, (eye Doctor) My Optometrist also looked over my eyes. He found a brain behind those eyeballs. J All things work for good to those who love the Lord. Read my previous blog about my attack from an angry killer bee in our backyard. UFFDA !!! Myron@myownfaith2.com 6/25/2009 7:28:22 AM I have decided that Sally and I are incompatible in the kitchen. Details later.

6/24/2009 5:22:23 AM INSECT BITES & 3-LEGGED STOOL: Yesterday was a very eventful day in my uneventful life. I was working in my back yard and suddenly an irate insect decided it did not want me around! I swatted at it and failed to kill it. Please don’t tell PETA. In the process of my self-defense, I knocked off my glasses and the lens popped out Sally calls in the meantime and I tell her what happened to me. She tells me to put some baking soda mix on my sting. I do so. I then run over to Dr. Goering to have my lens replaced. While there, I decide to have my eyes examined. It’s been over two years. I stop by to see our senior retirement adviser, Roger Shumaker to merely say hello. Roger asks me about the ELP program on Financial Peace University. I did not know the person he asked about. Later on last night I was a public speaker at our city. I am NOT a public speaker. I wanted to share with the city my 3-legged stool success formula. We conferees only get 4 minutes. ...

6/20/2009 8:01:42 AM HAPPY FATHER’S DAY: Tomorrow is Father’s Day. I’ll probably do what I do every day.. And that’s to do whatever I FREELY decide to do. While the video is uploading, I’ll write a little bit about my father, Adolph G. Holter. DAD was born in Bruce SD Jan 07,1907. He died May ??, 1977 , I think. I wrote a little bit about DAD in a previous blog. 6/20/2009 8:25:37 AM Just finished watching my favorite TV program, Red/Green on PBS. The video about my DAD is finished also. The Internet is a powerful tool of communication. Unfortunately, there are a lot of BAD people out there. Our website is a GOOD website. John, please give a hug to our only grandchild from me. Print out my bucket list and reply accordingly. Happy Father’s DAY all you Dad’s out there. myron@myownfaith2.com 6/21/2009 7:28:03 AM FATHER’S DAY THOUGHTS: Today is the real Father’s Day. I’ve written about my father, Adolph, in my previous writings. Today, I’d like to write a little about my father-in-l...

6/19/2009 5:15:26 PM FATHER’S DAY MEMORIES: My father was Adolph Gustav Holter. He was a wonderful DAD. Dad was also my hero. My father passed away at the young age of 70. He was going to paint the barn. My 5 year old nephew came upon him at the foot of the ladder. He approached my mother and MOM went to him in a lifeless condition. My brother Wesley called me at work. I immediately had to sit in the break room for a few minutes to collect my thoughts. I called Sally and we were on our way to Bruce SD later the next day. MOM was doing well. DAD is buried at St. Petri Cemetery NE of Bruce SD. I want to buy a tombstone and have it placed right next to my parents. Please visit our web and click on my bucket list for more details. That’s about it. Myron@myownfaith2.com

6/19/2009 5:30:04 AM FATHER’S DAY: OH NO! ANOTHER FATHER’S DAY! When I think of Father’s day this Sunday, I think of my father Adolph Holter, (01/17/1907-1977) .. I think. Dad died while painting the barn on our farm NE of Bruce SD. Somewhere on the web is probably my father’s obituary. Scroll to 2009. I am the father of John & Mark. Mark I’m sure will honor me. John will choose to ignore me again. OH WELL There is a lot to do. Yesterday Sally & I attended choir practice at Grace Episcopal Church here in Topeka KS. 6/19/2009 6:02:59 AM My laptop froze up and I had to reboot. But no biggie, I have the knowledge and the tools to recover. Where was I? Yesterday Sally & I practiced choir practice for the upcoming 4th of July honoring those who gave their lives for our FREEDOMS. I am getting more and more of our freedoms after watching the news. Iran is in turmoil. Businesses are losing their freedoms to our government. Big government is taking over our lives. I do NOT ...

6/18/2009 6:54:01 AM IT’S ANOTHER DAY: Sometimes you just want to stay in bed. Yesterday I had a visit with our Doctor, Dr. Chester Davis. We have had our Dr. for over 35 + years. He wants to see me in 2 months. He wanted to look at my spider bite. It’s healing well. The good Dr. also put me on Plavix. My Cardiologist wanted me to do a cranial carotid artery scan . I awaken daily with headachy and dizziness. Perhaps Plavix will help? Our home is being taken over by ants. I poured some beer over their trails. At least I want them to die happy. J Our fridge runs constantly too. It keeps freezing up. What to do? It would be nice if my weekly lunch with my sons included our #1 son estranged from me. .. OH WELL. I have reached out to John, but he refuses to reach back. Kim called me the other day to chew me out again. John and Kim do not want to be jejune. ( A Bill O-Reilly word) I drove to their home to deliver Bert’s obit. We’re going to practice for the July 4th singi...

6/16/2009 5:41:02 AM TODO LIST: There is so much to do. Sometimes I wish I had a 40 hour week job again just to not feel guilty about so much free time. .. NAAAHHH J I need to do a lot of things. Being retired gives me the opportunity to get stuff done. I love being retired. But the bills do not go away. The month of June is a wash budget wise. We spent a lot of $$$ with food, lodging, etc. Sally wrote an email to the folks and I was able to post it to our blog. She’s a better writer than me. I just write. Yesterday was Bert’s memorial service. The service was very nice. I was able to get Elly Brigg’s VCR ready for her upcoming visiting grandchildren also. Later Fred wanted to show me his children’s train he just built. I told him of my plans to build a casket for me. We laughed about that. He’s going to try to find me some specks from some magazine somewhere. Guess I get some more coffee. Our BO president wants to destroy our country. Our little group called www.caiitopek...

6/15/2009 6:48:09 AM BACK TO WORK. WAIT !! I don’t have a job! Our friend from church, Bert Stratmann died, the funeral is today at our church. Bert was a lifetime member of OSLC and also loved to play golf. We were at their home many times for the nineteenth hole social times. The visitation is at 11:00 AM today. The Stratmann’s used to live right around the corner from us also. Their daughter used to baby sit our children. Their son honorably serves in the 190th USAFNG at Forbes. There is so much to do being retired and all. Hope you all enjoyed my interview with my mother too. Guess I’d better get at it. But first I need to make some more coffee. myron@myownfaith2.com

Hi all, Thanks much to Cork & Bette, Wes and Janet, Julie and John and Scott and Barb for letting us stay a night with you while we were on vacation. We had a great time. We left on Thursday, June 4th, and spent the night in Omaha with Cork and Bette. We had a good visit and enjoyed our overnight stay with them and the boys. Hi Michael and Jackson. Hope you are doing fine. From Omaha on Friday, June 5th, we headed up to SD and stayed in Julie and John's house for a couple nights. Myron picked up his mom on Sunday morning and he brought her to church. We had a good visit and enjoyed staying in SD for a couple nights. Sunday afternoon, June 7th, we headed out for Wes and Janet's and got there about 5:00 p.m. or so. It was very cold up there, about 46 degrees. Ooh boy. We needed a jacket. We had a nice visit and I had to take a couple of photos of the lake, of course. Janet has a neat hummingbird feeder off her deck and there were some that flew by. I tried to ...

6/14/2009 8:13:39 PM CECELIA MILDRED (BERGH) HOLTER Hello everybody: Sally & I had the privilege to video my mother at Greenleaf assisted living in Brookings SD. The video speaks for itself. Enjoy the video and reply if you’d like. myron@myownfaith2.com

VACATION: Sally and I are getting ready for vacation. I will write in my journal through this address. 6/3/2009 7:43:59 AM Vacation planning can be stressful. Here I am writing, wondering about all the things that need to be done BEFORE we leave our home. But I like our vacation plans. We’re heading for Omaha NE to see Sally’s brother tomorrow. Then it’s off to Bruce SD to see my mother. Then it’s where ever Sally’s VAN takes us. So I guess I’ll close down this laptop and only write to this file. Until till then .. it’s just myron@myownfaith2.com signing off ..
