Gone fishin.... gone fishin......




The best ever rendition of that song I have heard is the one I have with Satchmo and Bing Crosby.... love it!

Okay, so maybe not *really* gone fishin! I am going to be gone all next week until Saturday the 14th at our church's "Young Women's Camp".

I am in charge of the 13-14 year olds, and will be in their cabin- 16 of them and just lil old me!! :)) Ha-ha, I should be truly bald when I return...

But seriously, the spirit is so strong at camp, I always return rejuvenated. Just what I need right now~

The theme for this year is: "The Spirit of Aloha" and I have been designing the decorations for the bathrooms, I was all prepared for the 3 they told me about, when on Sunday they said there was actually 6!! So I have been busting my bum digging up more decorations, it will be fun!

I haven't been able to visit everyone lately, but I wanted you to know I am thinking about all of you, and will be missing you while I am gone! No electronics allowed! *gasp*

I thought I'd leave you with some pictures I was fooling around with today while I was supposed to be packing! Enjoy, and over the week posts I made a long time ago will surface magically! I hope you enjoy!

It has been hot, hot, hot here! Yesterday it was 106 here, really unheard of for us in the mountains. Still no cria yet, I just know she is going to have it while I am gone! Fingers crossed for a healthy, silver girl!! When it gets this hot, I can't even function. No air conditioning, no water right now at the house.... long story, but our pump is failing, and we are broke right now.... oh well. We have bottled water, and every morning we get enough water to keep the trees alive, barely. I was able to spray the pacas the last two days to help them stay cool, so prayers work!
See you when I get back!

Oh, girl, no water and no air! You need to go to camp! To get away! Arrrrgggghhh. Will be thinking about your baby-yet-to-be and wishing a safe arrival!
Peace, girl, and hopefully, running water!

Hello Rachelle. Just wanted to know I really enjoyed your gentle blog. I'll be back to read more of your previous posts. Thank you for a pleasant break.
And I'm hoping for rain for you.

Dear Singleton,
Wll, still no water :^/
But we are getting along fine, as it should be.
I dream of running water, clear, cool and reliable! LOL!!

Dear Shrink,
Well, I fell in love at camp- with 16 new beautiful, glorious, righteous young women!
It was certainly a wonder, and I know with a surety that the best were indeed saved for last when I see young women like these!
