What I have Learned from Camp

It is amazing that you are never too old to learn anything! Yep! Forty-seven years old and I have learned so much this week. And to think, all I had to do was send children to church camp to learn!!!!

So, here are a few things I have learned so far::

1. I can wash ALL the dishes by hand and not spend forever at the sink doing it!
     (dish washer has not been used since Sunday night)
2. A double roll of toilet paper can last ALMOST three days!
3. We're really not very hungry! (snacks are almost non-existent)
4. Who's fighting????
5. A gallon of tea is WAY too much!
6. Mmmm...what is sugar?
7. Coffee creamer last a LONG time!
8. A gallon of milk can last for more than one day! (we are on day three!)
9.  We can eat at Denny's and not take out a loan!
10. Laundry does not multiply like rabbits!
11. I can STAMP, I can STAMP, I can STAMP!
12.  My house is so much cooler! (I'm talking about the temp!)

Now, those are all really negatives! I miss my little crew! I'd change the T.P. roll eight times a day and run the dishwasher four times and break up 100 fights to have them all back home. But until then I will enjoy the moment!!  It will all end Friday afternoon at one o'clock!

Son #5 is going to spend the night with a friend tonight and go to camp to visit tomorrow! I will only have two at home!!!! What will I do? That will leave me only an eight year old son and a six year old daughter at home! THAT IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED!!! JUST TWO!!! I may have to go out and "hire" some children!  Forget it, we are going to Wendy's for supper!!!! (it is so cheap when you drink water and Hubby works late!) {so nobody gets the wrong idea, I will still feed Hubby!}

My Mother's Gentle Love

My Mother's Gentle Love by Ron Hamilton Who puts a band-aid on my knee? Who holds me close so tenderly? Who always sees the best in me? There’s no one like mother. Who always wipes my tears away? Who tells me I’ll be great some day? Who cares in such a gentle way? There’s no one like mother. My mother’s gentle love, my mother’s gentle love Has taught me of God’s tender care, and turned my eyes above. I’ll bless her all my days for all her gentle ways. Oh, how I thank my Lord above for my mother’s gentle love. Today is my mother's viewing, and tomorrow is her funeral. The song above so much describes my mom. She loved her four children so very much! Before she had children, she was a nurse for "special care" babies~~"old" term for NICU. Once she started having children she gave up her career to stay at home and raise her own babies. Thanks, Mom! Thank you, Daddy, for allowing Mom to stay at home and raise us four children! My mother and her mo

Life....

Busy. That seems to describe life in our home. Just day to day busy. Nothing really noteworthy. Life moves on. Let me think, since I last posted.... well, let me back up to about a month before my last post. Daughter #6 got married in October of 2022...today Son #7 got married. So, I have gained another son and another daughter! Our youngest graduated from high school in May and our oldest grandchild graduated the following day! From our oldest child to our youngest, we have 33 years of education. (I'm tired just thinking about it!!) Still only 13 grandchildren. Hubby is still in education. I keep things going on the home front. I help out the families where and when needed. I still make cards for the card ministry that I have been doing for 19 years. I still crochet. That about sums up life at this point. Have a wonderful day!

Remembering Mom

Eleven years ago, today, my mom entered the gates of heaven. My heart still breaks, hurts, and grieves. But I know I will see her one day. It seems like it has been a lifetime. My youngest was only 6 1/2, now she is 17 1/2, a senior in high school and trying to choose between two colleges. My oldest was 26 with young children and now is 37 and his crew is growing up too quickly! My oldest grandchild was 6 and now is 17 and a senior in high school. My youngest grandchild was only 6 weeks old and now is eleven. Eight of my thirteen grandchildren have been born since that day. Mom Mom's Viewing My children, taken about 6 weeks before Mom died. I miss you, Mom!
