On the road again...

Before I take off again tomorrow, I thought I would post again. I've really enjoyed being home these past five days. I've accomplished a lot. I finally had a chance to unpack everything from Las Vegas and camp. I have finished all my laundry, done my ironing, mowed the lawn, shopped, celebrated Florence's birthday, attended Deb's wedding and had my hair cut way, way short. That's quite a bit, don't you think?

Here are a few pictures from the past few days.

The gardens and flowers are really looking great this summer. I guess they like the cool weather and rain.


And here is the hairdo. I really was sober and in my right mind when I asked Kathy to cut it this short. All I can say is "It will grow."

The wedding was wonderful. After they were pronounced man and wife and had their kiss, they left the front of the church to a wonderful rendition of "Froggy went a Courtin'." It was such fun.

Here we are at the reception.

All this time and I still haven't finished posting our vacation and camp pictures. So, here are a few.

The many faces of a dance/musical director. Gretchen adapted a children's story for a reading, singing, dancing program. The girls performed it the last of day camp for their parents and friends.

It was a beastly hot day, but it didn't deter these talented young women.



Dances Alone (our dear friend Barry) preparing the girls to sing.


The newlyweds. Karin and Jeremiah met last summer at camp and were married this June. Gretchen and the camp staff all felt like Cupids.

Praising the Lord at the Wednesday evening concert.

New friends were made.
These cabin assistants work so very hard, but do manage to find time for fun too.

Some of the wonderful art projects done by the girls.

If you have stayed with me this long, I salute you. Thanks so much for tuning in. Tomorrow, I'm off to Pennsylvania to spend the day with my mother-in-law. I plan to take her out for a drive and then to dinner. Then I'll spend the night with my sister-in-law and niece. Wednesday, my niece will come home with me for a few days. I'm really looking forward to all of this. Hope to have pictures and stories soon. In the meantime,
