Just when I thought I was on a blogging roll, I get behind again! A friend emailed today and the subject was what's wrong! I assured her blogging was on my agenda and nothing is wrong!
A few highlights since I last blogged:
VBS registration in 2 different locations on the Sat before VBS
A spent part of a day and night experiencing wheat harvest which is a huge part of the lives of the people in this area (more detailed post on that later)
Many hours spent decorating for VBS
Getting ready each day for VBS each night. We had a great VBS. I taught 4th-6th grades, A did the preacher thing, and Ell helped teach 1st-3rd. VBS is SO much work but beyond rewarding! Post soon with pics. I was too busy to take pics during the week and Sallie started throwing up as we were getting dressed for family night so she and I had to stay home. Ell took as many as she could while trying to help A with the girls. I will get a copy of the pics the director has and post some of them.
A and a couple of guys from church hauled hay while Ell drove the truck for them. Brave man to allow her to drive his truck! They said she was driving a little fast so she kept them hopping! HA! She has been practicing more since we moved here and she is driving much better. The first time we let her drive she scared us really bad and Lizzie still will not ride with her. We will let her drive a lot to and from the church and someone has to walk with Lizzie because she screams about riding with Ell! Makes Ell mad!!!
A killed a snake in the carport! Knew it was bound to happen... It was a bull snake so non-poisonous but I don't like any snake! About 4 feet long! SO glad he was here and saw it!
Ell picked me a good bit of peaches the day she was the hay hauling driver so that gave me a job but I sure will enjoy having those peaches to use later!
Made blackberry jelly
The wheat harvest has really gotten to us. Elleigh and Sallie have been really sick.
Discovered true country livin' is hard work! Yes, I grew up in the country but I think I forgot and I was not an adult with a husband and 4 kids!
Got Ell all ready and took her to camp yesterday. This is the week she serves as Acteen Staffer at GA camp. We miss her and can't wait to hear about her week when she gets home Friday night!
Still working on house stuff in the midst of everything else. I knew it would be much harder to accomplish tasks around here once we moved in and I was right! Really hard to do house projects while living in it.
Tickets for our Africa trip were purchased. There will be 6 of us going. I am excited but I admit nervous and extremely anxious about being away from the girls for that long. I am also very clostrophobic (sp?) so the thought of being in a plane that long makes me cringe BUT I know God will take care of all my fears. Prayers please!
I am sure there are some things I am missing but that is all I can remember!
