Feeling blessed again...

It was so fun to have former dorm daughters and their family come and visit us last weekend.
Milena and Monika were with us our very first years in the dorm at Liel.

The past two weeks...

I do not have any pictures to post at this time but thought I would take a minute to update you on what has been happening the past two weeks.

Jesse has been taking classes at the Summer Institute at BFA and I did snacks and cooked some meals for them. It was about 20 or so people so not that big a deal. However, it kept me plenty busy.

Yesterday afternoon Jesse set up camp for the last Adventure Camp this summer. They have 18 campers and 5 staff. The camp runs through next Saturday. He would appreciate your prayers for sure!

One more day of cooking for me tomorrow...this time it is for the new and returning dorm staff. My friends, Kurt and Lori, are helping me in Jesse's place. Kurt will be BBQing the ribs and Lori will be helping me in the kitchen. We are getting ready for about 40 people.

I will try to post some pictures in the next couple of days. I have a room or two to clean where I have been cooking and then I should have a bit of free time...well time at home. There is lots to get in order here. Lawn,weeds,dust bunnies and laundry show no mercy!

A rainy Sunday...

Lots of colors and lots of umbrellas outside of church this am. I love the assortment!

♫♫ Happy Birthday, Shawna! ♥

Wishing Shawna, our dear daughter, a Happy Birthday today. She is pictured here with her nieces who love and adore her!

Please pray...

PS Simi slipped into His presence on Wednesday AM. Please pray for her family.

I wanted to post the following pictures so that you could join us in praying for 'Simi' and her family. Simi is 1 yr old and has leukemia. She is in her last days. Please pray for her mom(a former BFA student), Dad and her sisters, 3yrs and 5 yrs.

Street party...

We love living on our street! We think we have the best German neighbors ever! At least once a year we all gather together for the afternoon and evening and enjoy wonderful food and fellowship! They love it that we Americans join in the fun. Jesse is famous because of his BBQ ribs! All that was left tonight was bones!


These ladies are my best German friends. They go out of their way to make us feel at home. They love hearing about our children and grand children. I am glad I caught them at a moment when they were all sitting together!

To night Germany is playing Japan in soccer. You can't see it very well but there is a TV playing in the back ground and everyone is enjoying the game. So far Germany is winning!

I got to visit with some goats today...we do not see goats very much over here.

I got a warm greetng!

Loved the little ones...

They were sad when I left!

Trying again...

Adventure camp

I stopped by Jesse's adventure camp this am to deliver some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. They are enjoying beautiful weather and having a good time.
Learning to tie several different knots and then on to how to use a compass, etc.

A Walk in the woods...

The sun was SO bright today that these pictures did not turn out very good. I might have to go back here when it is different lighting. Love this walk and seeing the flower boxes along the railing of the bridge.

Sunday afternoon...

Off to a party somewhere...
