The Jespersen Family: Some of Summer 2020

2020 Has been an interesting year for everyone. Personally I have been suffering through some mental conditions and that's why the memories that I had been creating for my family through this blog took a hit for a few years. Because I've been sick for a few years. No worries, I'm back at this so that means things are on the up. Quick update about 2020 - Election Year with Donald Trump and Joe Biden as the only options to choose. There has been a global Covid-19 Flu Pandemic that has society walking around in masks and quarantining as much as possible to try to help slow the spread. There have been many deaths globally. Starting with China and Italy with the biggest surge at the beginning and seeing devastating numbers increase at such an alarming rate. It sent the world into a -sort of- controlled hysteria. There has been much civil unrest with many situations. There were riots due to many reasons. Political to racial. We have chosen to unplug media as much as possible because we see a huge, negative, influence happening and hate is pretty loud right now. We can make a difference. By choosing to see the good in the world, all while recognizing what is going on around us. Choose Love. Be kind. Here's a little tip for you - if you feel overcome with hatred mentally and physically, that is not the Holy Spirit dwelling within. There are no good vibes, it is not righteous anger. It is hate. Check out where you are spiritually. There is a place for righteous anger. And this will feel completely different. You will not hate. You will teach with righteous anger. And the others will not feel hate, they will feel your genuine core belief. Just my 2 cents. Anywho, here are some pictures of making life as pleasant as possible, by seeing the beauty around, by knowing that life is a gift. It's not a burden and it's not a promise. Make it the best that You can with the abilities that You have. You are unique and there are no comparisons. Be unique.

We love seeing all the Bambis running around

I have tons of sunset pictures, well, because as you can see
each sunset is as beautiful as the next.

We were so lucky to spend several months with the
handsome, fun, sly, cuddly, hunter of a kitten, Lynx.
(which first was thought a girl and was named Princess, then
Prince until we realized He was Lynx.)

A beautiful, tumultuous sky over the Mississippi

Baby assassin bug - strange looking creature

I was taking pictures of this cow and it looked at me like this
and then started peeing!

I found out the most wonderful news this Mother's Day...
I'm going to be an Auntie again! Peter and Becky have been
blessed with another gift from Grandma Betty! The best kind!
