This time of year is usually so slow and he has been blessed with the time to draw closer to God and catch up on the million things there are to do around the Gimlin house!
Shari and James braved one of North Idaho's worst snow storms for the year to go steelhead fishing. She had been planning the trip for weeks and was not going to let a "little" snow stop her. Is that the Taurus coming out? She reported it took her 6 hours to get to the fishing hole and a lot of prayers. ( No she did not get a fish.) |

Ariel and Micah along with Shari and her family are gearing up for 4-H. We started our own club named the Prairie Dogs and had our first meeting. Interestingly, the name was not authored by us, but by the mom of one of our other members.
Maddie's projects are sheep and photography. Sara's projects are goats and rabbits. James will raise a pig and also do photography and rabbits. I don’t know who is more excited about being in 4-H, Shari and Ariel or the kids! Message

Micah recently began honing his thespian skills. He was asked to participate and was given a scholarship for a workshop in the Huckleberry Children’s Theatre. Our local playhouse is starting a Children’s Theatre where the kids learn all aspects of the theatre and put on productions. This workshop performed the Emperors New Clothes. It was a lot of fun and Micah played the part of Sir Ian of Inventory. He had about 8 lines on his own and another 9 with his partner Sir Ivan. They also sang 3 songs as a cast. Curtiss helped as usher during the weekend performance. He looked so handsome in his suit! Ariel helped backstage in the Green room shushing the kids and getting them on stage much to Micah’s embarrassment. Micah is looking forward to taking another workshop this summer. He said it is too hard to do acting and schoolwork at the same time. Mom agrees. These kids were at the theatre from 4 to 8 everyday and from 9 to 3 on the Friday, Saturday and Monday before the performance. They only had two weeks to get the show up and running! Everyone who saw it was very impressed.
A little boy tells his teach that he found a cat. “ Was it dead or alive? ”, the teacher asks. “Dead”, said the little boy. How do you know? ”, asked the teacher. The little boy answered, “ Well, I pissed in its ear and it didn’t move”. “You did what?” exclaimed the shocked teacher. The little boy then explained, “ I leaned over and went pssst in its ear and it didn’t move”.

joined 297 other area teens at Riverview Bible Camp for a weekend retreat called
X Games. The speaker was Clayton King from North Carolina. The focus for
his message and the retreat was about extreme witnessing. She had a fun
time and learned more about her role as a young Christian.
