I spent the morning getting Chase fed, packed and organized to end up his vacation week. I took him down to Sheetz in New Stanton to meet his Aunt Kimmie and Uncle Greg for the trip home. I think he had a great time; he said the movie was his favorite thing!
When I got back home I had an hour to get MYSELF organized and ready for our Skunk Hollow Summer Event at Kathy’s. There was so much food, and fun, and ten precious family girls! Holly had accepted a challenge to write a story about Grama Crooks by our event. She did a wonderful job, capturing the spirit of Grama by incorporating the Fruits of the Spirit (as in Galatians). We all shared special memories of time spent with Grama.

Then Kath had asked us all to bring old pictures of ourselves and family to share and remember. Such wonderful memories. We all brought a special photo to pass around the room and explain the stories behind them. Lots of laughter! We spent some time talking about Danny, and some of the photos included him. I read my essay in remembrance, and although my relationship with him was very different we still had a lot of fun things to share.

Kathy dazzled the group with her beautiful, comfortable, welcoming home. Each and every one of them would have moved in next door given the chance! So perfect for ‘senior’ living – even capable, healthy young ones! It was a beautiful afternoon. Thank you, Kathy, for hosting, and to the eight travelers who came to make the day perfect! Love you all!

Karen V had already left.
Kelly had me order her a card game with my Amazon Prime order: We LOVED playing Authors growing up! She is going to use it for her homeschool literature classes in the fall.
She also told me that Logan won the Blue & Gold award at 4H camp last week – for campers who show leadership and camp spirit and service (and have already won the green and white award!) Good job Logan. And Peyton got the Health H award! So proud of my boys!
