Marriage, Children, Gardens, Sales and Fun Times!

Next Monday my husband

and I will celebrate

30 years of marriage!!

That is him on the right.

So, this week our last

baby at home is away.

She is visiting with

friends in Portland,

we miss her when she

is gone, we suddenly

have an empty nest! :(

But this week we decided to

make the best

of it.....we cannot

afford to do anything big

for our anniversary,

maybe we will go

out for a special dinner

but not even sure

if that is going to happen.

So, we have

been making every evening

special while we are alone.

We are both home working

all day, but at night

we make sure we

sit down to a meal

together on the porch

or somewhere cool and

refreshing and

special. It has been

nice to take that time

in the evening

to spend together.

So sorry, again, that I have

not posted for awhile.

I am a bit overwhelmed right

now. I have two weeks until

my first tea on

the porch and a week and

a half until the

sale I am in, I am

planting pots for the

tables at the camp

we have coming up

at our friends, I also

need to get a couple

freezer meals done for

them to feed the people

who come the week before

to help get ready for camp,

AND my husband leaves

for an out of town

job...need to have

some meals for him to take.

Yep, I'm tired and crazy.

So, every morning until

it is too hot I

have worked in my garden

just trying to catch up on

weeds and then spread bark

in the paths.

My garden needs to

look nice for the

tea ladies...my husband has

helped me finish a lovely

spot with an awning on

the front porch,

I will get pictures later.

Then every afternoon I come

in and try to make things

to sell, not getting very

far with that one. :(

(This is a tea towel bag I made for sale)

A fun thing we have coming up

is a camp we attend

not far from home just

a few miles from us.

Last year we had a

couple guys who did awesome

dramatizations. One was a

German soldier testimony the

other presented the gospel

in a drama, he works with

Michael and Debi Pearl's kids

back where they are from,

Tennesee, maybe. :/

It is an awesome time of

great speakers, great

food and fellowship and

some awesome fun

for younger people.

My husband made these

game tables for

camp last year, this

year they had him make

two shorter ones for

the kiddos...they are

really cute!!

We are looking

forward to camp.

So, for the next couple of

weeks I may not

post as often as I like,

but I will try.

I need to get pics of

my garden and porch!

Hope you are enjoying

your summer so far...

I think I will be able to

enjoy mine in a

couple weeks. :D
