Hot Tuesday

July 31, 2007

The temperature, that is. At one point my car thermometer said 94. I did take the kids to the pool for a little while. I was able to stay comfortable reading in the dense shade of a tree, but it was warm. I said my final goodbye to my sweet Grandma....

Monday

July 30, 2007

Today started early-I always wake up early, but I had bonus time I wasn't planning on because my pal and I were going to walk but she called and wasn't feeling up to it. So, I got an hour to read Enchantment. I'm completely engrossed in the story and...

Caught up.

July 27, 2007

Okay, so I'm a week late getting to it, but I finished recording our entire family reunion. As usual this week, I've been running around a lot-doing good things and fun things, but my energy is low. I have some sort of abscess in my jaw or cheek so...

The Week Comes to an End

July 27, 2007

Thursday was the most changeable day weatherwise, and since I didn't feel like going in the boat and watertubing or skiing or wakeboarding in the 58 degree drizzle, I stayed in bed all day and read my book, The Goose Girl. Others went out on the boat...

Catching up on the week: Wednesday at Deep Creek

A Moment Alone

July 19, 2007

I went to bed early last night after blogging and being up pretty much the entire night before helping out with the kids in the absence of some of the brothers/dads. My eyes popped open at 5:45 this morning after 7.75 hours of sleep, and I've spent...

The News from Lake Deep Creek

July 18, 2007

It is a good sign that I've not updated before now because I haven't wanted to take the time away from our time together. Let me try to catch up. On Monday, Eric went and picked up the water trampoline which was an instant hit. The kids have been using...

The Reunion Begins!

July 15, 2007

Well, after a settling-in operation that was reminiscent of a military operation, all 33 of us are in our assigned rooms, and everyone is helping out with the cooking, cleaning and taking care of the precious babies. The young moms can relax a little...

Poem

July 13, 2007

My sister is working on a PhD in Audiology while raising 5 lovely children and working full time. I sometimes ask her if the light at the end of the tunnel is getting any closer. I wrote this for her. (This also goes out to Clint and Oswaldo and anyone...

Potpourri

July 11, 2007

This entry is like the Jeopardy category of the same name-a little bit of everything that hopefully comes together in a pleasing way. I've thought of all kinds of things to write over the last couple of weeks, and one of my original fears about blogging...

In The Hollow of His Hand

July 2, 2007

Yesterday, I was trying to gather the energy to go visit a friend in the hospital who had just had a baby. I was tired, but I knew I wanted to see her. I hate barging in on folks in hospitals, especially sore, tired moms trying to figure out nursing,...

The View From Here

July 1, 2007

Here is the view from the Lodge at Blue Knob State Park, Group Camp 1, where we have held Girl's Camp for approximately the last 12 years. We had some rainy days, but Saturday dawned perfect and beautiful, and this view was the last thing the girls...
