Back Home

We’re home from Siloam. And laundry is washed, dried, folded and put away. Can I get an hallelujah for that? Camp laundry is the worst because it contains, clothes, towels, sheets and blankets for all of us.

Busy Summer

It seems like its been forever since I’ve been on here. I’ve been busy but not busy enough not to blog. I think I have a case of writer’s block! We’ve been swimming, swimming and swimming.

Siloam Bound!

Tomorrow we leave for church camp.Did you notice there was not an exclamation point at the end of that sentence?I don’t like camp. I don’t like the smell of the room. I don’t like having to share showers and toilets with strangers, or people outside of my family. I don’t like being hot and sticky.Continue reading “Siloam Bound!”
