A Few More Slices!!!!


Cabin picnic on the banks of Honey Creek

Hi All. . .Well we are down to the last 5 days or so of camp and I am hustling to get Katie's room completed so I can move on to food for our party on Saturday. My plan is to be finished today!!!
(I'll let you know how that goes!)

This past weekend we had horse show and Cabin #4 picnic. We got together with several other families to host the picnic on the banks of Honey Creek. It is always a fun time to get to know the girls and other parents a little better and the girls look forward to having food from town. This time it was Subway.

Every Sunday the girls dress in "Whites" with their Tribe scarves and usually their camp necklaces. They have a wonderful flag ceremony in the center of camp and then move down to a spot closer to the Creek for a non-denominational worship service.




Paul is plugging away on the house on the hill. This is the most recent photo I have but they are further along now - replacing the siding on the whole house and waiting on the windows to be delivered. He is keeping busy getting the backyard ready for the party - helping me hang drapes and working on the house. Poor guy! He is pretty tired when he falls in bed at night.
Got to run - have more furniture painting to do! Just 6 more days of freedom for me before I'm due back at school. This is the beginning of my 30th year! I don't know where the time has gone. Seems like it was yesterday that I couldn't wait to get out of school so I could teach, now it's almost over! There is a great article in the new AARP magazine called, "Fifty reasons to Love being 50+". There are some great quotes in there but one of my favorite reasons for loving being over 50 is " Because if Keith Richards can make it into his 60's, there's hope for all of us!"
Life is good in the Hill Country!
