Today was Jerry Van Beeks funeral. He had a heart attack while at a restaurant in Bismarck. He drove Tom Vander Wal up to Bismarck to get groceries for the kuchen factory. I guess he did that quite often. Anyway I guess he never woke up again and was pronounced dead at St. A's. The church was almost full.


Casey was on computer this morning. This afternoon he watched a movie & then he went riding 4 wheeler for quite awile. We had a high of 46 degrees this afternoon. Wow, what a great day for riding. Especially for February.


Betty has been cleaning house, washing clothes and hanging pictures in our bedroom. She plans on painting it soon. She wants to get pictures hung & patch the old nail holes first.


Alex and Nicole just got home. Nicole also went to a funeral this afternoon. Her best friends mother passed away. She leaves behind two kids in High School. While she was at the funeral Alex helped Nicole's Dad with some projects he was working on.


As soon as Alex & Nicole got here, Casey said it was so nice out why don't we go hunting squirrels so that's what they did.


We went out for supper last night, in Linton, with Ryan, Sarah and Tyler. We went to Thatsa Pizza and More, formerly known as Hot Spot Pizza. Tyler really likes Sarah. He kept calling her his friend. As we were eating pizza, out of the blue, Tyler says I had the shits for two days and I had to get a shot in my butt and have blood drawn. We all laughed so hard. Casey had a hard time eating after that. He kept thinking about it and would start laughing again.


Brandon called this morning about the time I was suppose to leave for the funeral. He told me the tranny in his car finally went out completely except for reverse. He went to leave work yesterday and didn't make it out of the parking lot so he put it in reverse and parked it on the lot. The guy he works with gave him a ride back to Bismarck.

Well I better give Brandon a call back as I cut him short this morning so I could ride with Mom & Dad to the funeral.
Love,
The Dyks

We'd like to encourage everybody to look up & read the following Scripture!!
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Timing is important. All the experiences listed in these verses are appropiate at certain times. The secret to peace with God is to discover, accept, and appreciate God's perfect timing. The danger is to doubt or resent God's timing. This can lead to despair, rebellion, or moving ahead without his advice.
