Shelly is My Sister - She's My Home-Girl!

Shelly lives in the vast Lake Superior region where the beauty of nature is in abundance. I appreciate you for all the things you do to show me love. There are many people who go the extra mile for others and you are one of them. Thank you for all the prayers you have prayed for everyone and for me, and thank you for being my friend! I thank you for all the "I care packages" that you and Al send me to help me. You are my favorite sister. Oh, that's right, I only have one sister!~ Happy Birthdays, Shelly!


The fact that you dedicated your life to God at age 11 and didn't want to be with a man until your one true love came into your life is something remarkable though. The fact that you were a 48 year old virgin bride is a testament to the keeping power of God's grace, and your dedication. Your life has been a witness to me and to many. Thank you for all the hours you have spent proof-reading my lenses and helping me get to Giant Squid in April of 2009. I couldn't have done it as soon without your loving support and help. I earned the Giant Squid Badges sis, but all of the Gold Stars belong to you! - I love you!  (We Love Kevin Skinner!)


Host: Susie Lehto ~ Squid Giant, Squid Angel and Shelly helped me get there!

Here's a Question for You! 

Poll Posted: 01.22.09

Shelly sent me a link to see a video after Kevin Skinner sang for the first time on America's Got Talent, and I made a lens about him that I published on the 4th of July. It became the #1 Lens on Squidoo on September 22nd of 2009. We are both very happy that Kevin won on AGT. As a gift to you Shelly, here is your very own picture of Kevin!

Happy Birthday Shelly

..... ..... .....
Its Auntie Shelly!

I Couldn't Have Asked For A Better Sister! 

A Birthday Card - Lens! 

Hey, a Squidoo lens makes a great Birthday Card!

Shelly is 14 months and 10 days older than I am. We have an older brother who's name is Randy. It was unusual for Shelly and I to like the same clothes, but there was a dress that we both liked in a catalog. We ended up ordering the same dress and sometimes we would wear our dresses to school on the same days in junior high. Sisterhood can be so touching.

Randy of course graduated from school before us and went into the Marine Corp and on to Vietnam to become a Veteran of War. Than Shelly graduated from school and moved away. I ended up dropping out of school after I turned 16, because I was really affected for some reason by not having my brother or sister there.

Leningrad Cowboys and The Red Army Choir 

The Leningrad Cowboys are a Finnish band.

The Red Army Choir was formed when the Soviet Union was still in place, and they still perform to this day in Russia. Since Shelly is Finnish and was in the Soviet Union just before the Iron Curtain fell, I want to dedicate this video module to her mission to the Soviet Union.

I want to prepare you a bit in advance! You may want to grab a drink, because this is not only totally off the wall, but it will be a performance you won't want to miss. Everyone of the music videos is worth seeing and hearing! - Holy Cow!!!

Shelly was prepared to give her all!! 

Shelly says, "I was so sick at the time, dying just wasn't an issue!"

Shelly went to the Soviet Union with a ministry group under Dave Duell's leadership, Faith Ministries Internatonal. Their main purpose was to start a church in Novosibirsk and plant nationals to run the church. Dave let the nationals know that they needed to be prepared to die a martyr's death. Shelly was prepared to be a living sacrifice so that others could know God's love, grace and tender mercy. She did nearly die when she was in the Soviet Union, because of heat stroke. Her team prayed for her as she laid on a cement slab dieing, trying to cool her body temperature down. As she said, "I was in and out of it and then suddenly just got up". God gets the glory!

Dave Duell in Kenya! 

Dave Duell is ministering the Baptisum of the Holy Spirit in Kenya in this video. After this video you will have a choice to view some other videos. One video is Dave Duell-the transvestite, a different Dave with with a different spirit.

Sometimes my videos get changed by YouTube, so if the transvestite video is showing, it's not my fault and that is not what I mean to show. You can really see the difference in the spirit of Dave and Dave the transvestite though.

This really looks like the nightly routine for these two.

My favorite thing about being a sister... 

I always have a true friend!

If we have one true friend in our life, we are never alone!

I've been blessed to have a sister that has been a spiritual mentor to me.

In the fall of 1988 Shelly administered the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to me.

I know that I always have someone to pray with!

Shelly prays for me!

Birthdays Are Great!

But Sisters Are Better!

Just Sisters! Shelly Defended Me... 

Brings Memories of Shelly and I Growing Up

In grade school a boy ask me to play marbles with him and he won all of my marbles from me. Shelly seen me crying in the playground and asked what happened. She went and asked the boy to play marbles with her and she won all of his marbles and mine back. She gave me back my marbles!

A Bunny for your Birthday Shelly! 

When Randy, Shelly and I were growing up we had a white rabbit that Shelly named Samantha. Our Dad let Uncle Eddie bring over a buck to visit Samantha for about a week. Later on we had a bunch of baby bunnies! There's just something about a bunny.

I remember that Shelly was really mad at Samantha one time because she ate all of her babies. Shelly really took it hard when Samantha died of old age I suppose.

Shelly, here's a bunny for your birthday. Happy Birthday Shelly!

Shelly, I Knew You Would Like "Army Wives Pet Peeves"

This lens made me think in a different way and I enjoyed the light that was shed here. I have blessed that lens for an hour. I believe its worth being at the top, its unique.

    Happy day after Thanksgiving. Glad that Randy and Karen liked the necklace I designed just for you. A one of a kind that I prayed would help you feel better, and it did and it does. :)

    Hope that you have a blessed time while Mom visits there. Safe travels when you bring her home. ~ Turkey dinner turned out great, the dressing fabulous. Got some nice hugs from Jesse, Jaime, and Bert...so that was nice and they loved dinner. ~~~ Love you!

    Hey--I remember having your dressing many years ago and it is delicious--and I'm usually not much of a dressing fan. It sounds like the guys really appreciated your culinary skills and the effort you put out for them.
    Mom arrived with Randy this evening before I got home from work and we all enjoyed the Shamrock pizza I picked up on the way home. We had Greek salad with it and chocolate pie for dessert.
    Our weather has been amazing--no snow at all on the ground and we have some standing water in ditches from recent rains.
    Yes, the necklace you made me was a hit--apparently R&K had never seen it before, perhaps I have worn the other 2 you've made for me around them. Of course Randy would like it because of the pink shell beads--it's his favorite color.
    I'm a little jealous that you have Thanksgiving left overs--that's something you don't get to enjoy when you go to a restaurant.
    Blessings on your head!

    Thought I should let you know that Christmas is on December 25th this year and my birthday is on December 5th as usual--speaking of that, Al's niece and her husband are doing a hay ride on December 5th. Bill drives a tractor around their acres--I think this is the 3rd year that they are doing it.

    Its been nuts for me this week on Squidoo, because I realized that most of my lensrolls were missing; except for everyone else's lenses that I lensrolled. Sometimes ther were 35 other lenses recommended before any of mine. So! I have been deleting lenses that aren't mine, and lensrolling my own to lenses again. That is what has been keeping me busy!!! ... and then some. Now, how does that happen? ~ I just know that I lost a lot of back links for awhile. That didn't help me out at all with the health and ranks of lenses. More to do!

    Oh my! I've wondered why you were being so quiet--the problem is, of course, the cosmic continuum. That's just crazy! It keeps you on your squid-toes for sure!
    We'll be getting an early start tomorrow to bring Mom back to Kabetogama, so I guess that means early to bed if it's early to rise.

    Just so you know Sue, Thanksgiving is the day after tomorrow! I have chuckled many times about you being rady for the occasion a week early. Perhaps that week got lost in the cosmic continuum which could be a side effect of excessive time spent on Squidoo--it is kind of a black hole. We may never know how many weeks have been lost that way.

    I do believe you just hit on much truth there. it is very time consuming to build and maintain web-pages. They are never dine, and can always be updated and made better. ~ I'm so ready to eat a big dinner tomorrow with my guest. ~ I took most of yesterday off to visit.
