EMPTY NESTERS FOR A WEEK

The house feels so empty! Our older daughter 

is in WA state for a month and our younger

daughter left this morning for a week in 

Juneau at our church's camp. She was excited, 

nervous and scared all at the same time. The 

youth group caught the big ferry and will be 

met by another group up in Juneau, then 

drive to the camp.

They will be spending tonight on the ferry,

arrive in Juneau at 6:30 am and the week is

packed with events and fun. Everything from

paint ball to jet skis will be available. For

a kid that doesn't like to miss her sleep, she

is going to be one tired puppy when she gets

back here at 5:30 am next Saturday!

Here they are at the ferry terminal getting instructions

from Pastor Tim (grey shirt, camo shorts). Poor guy--

I counted 15 boys and 4 girls...makes me tired thinking

about how long that night will be on the ferry tonight

for him and he has a newborn at home that hasn't

been sleeping very well lately.

This is kind of a cool boat that went by this morning.

Doesn't everybody have their own helicopter that they

take everywhere with them?

Kitchen progress...well, there hasn't been a whole lot

due to the amount of customer work that needs to be

done. Everything is now sheetrocked and mudded,

waiting for a second coat of mud.

Mudding the master bedroom and talking to Mom

in Poland at the same time. She is a gardener and

quite upset that their weather has fallen apart with

drenching rain and storms.

I made a big batch of cookies for the local librarians and

for the vet that took care of my daughter's rabbit when

she got sick last week. What better way to say thanks

than an overdose of sugar right?
