On the Road Again...........

The day is gone and I have done much, but not much that I can post or have pictures of.

We are leaving in the morning to drive to Southern Oregon to another Bible Camp for the weekend!! Fun times, good fellowship, I know there will be lot's of laughing, singing, good food, ahhhhh.............time to relax!!

We are taking a couple friends with us, mother and daughter. They have been doing a very good job of keeping us company while our daughter is gone. And we are meeting some friends there that live nearby in Roseburg. Between the two I know there will be lot's of laughs.

So, today was spent, doing laundry, packing, getting ads emailed for our local homeschool newsletter for Prairie Camp, Keepers at Home classes and Sewing classes (that was time consuming)......this evening I fried some chicken breasts and made chocolate chip bar cookies!!

It is a 4 hour drive and we leave about 10am, so we will stop and have a picnic....chicken, potatoe salad, watermelon and cookies!!! There are several beautiful spots along rivers where you can find a picnic table for a nice lunch.

Have a wonderful weekend and we will be back Monday.

Blessings.........

This is my favorite room, especially in the winter, it is a warm sunny spot for a cup of tea.......the blessing of warm,

cozy places!

This is one of those times, that I cannot just run out and buy a shower or wedding gift. So, off to the sewing shed to see what we have. First, I did look at this couples gift registry on line.....finding that ALL her appliances are RED!! Her KithenAid is red, her blender is red, crockpot, ricecooker.....all red!!!!! Some of the kitchen towels she chose are taupe.......so here is what I found, we will see what I come up with before the wedding.........the blessing of

having a stash!

From the garden today.........just calling for a nice, cool summer colorful green salad to take to potluck tonight. The blessing of seeing the fruits of your labor!

At camp last weekend, the Friday night speaker was a young man who lives here locally. Afterwards he and his family handed out all these awesome resources!! Most I have not read completely, some I know people do not like.......but overall, they are loaded with truth from God's word........things like this you must glean what you can from it, rather than toss out the whole idea. You know......

"don't throw the baby out with the bath water!"

The blessing of generous people!!!!
All in all, I would have to say I have had a

BLESSED DAY!!!!

A Little Peek at Heaven..........

Have you ever had those times of such awesome fellowship that you come away feeling as if you were allowed just a teeny peek of what awaits us in heaven? This was a time such as that. Who could have asked for more perfect weather.................

Wonderful, inspiring speakers....................
Special music..................
People fellowshipping everywhere................

Some of my favorite faces..................
