Our Messy Corner

We have an office but here is where L prefers to work... at the kitchen table. And it's almost always messy...no wonder P4 is grimacing!

Actually, it's been me doing most of the grimacing and so getting close to our 11th anniversary, I finally realized something. This will probably always be where L will do his office work and we need a solution. I don't know why I've continued holding out the hope that he'd use the office instead. I guess it takes me awhile......

So IKEA has come to the rescue! I love it. The cabinet is L's. The cleaned up corner is mine to enjoy.


We've had eleven good years and looking forward to the years to come.

Lemonade Stand

R6 got a brainwave a few days ago. He was going to make a lemonade stand with or without us! So L helped him with the stand for his wagon and he picked out the paint and set to work in one of my old t-shirts.

He's very funny - trying to sell lemonade in the country is a bit of an endeavor - not exactly a lot of traffic out our way. I have a feeling that Grandma, Grandpa, L and I will be tired of lemonade by the end of summer (and paying for it LOL). We did take it to the park with us the other day and he was pretty pleased about making some sales there. I admit - I'm impressed with his iniative and determination.

A Great Weekend...

We went to Westbank Bible Camp for Family Camp this past weekend and it was great with horseback riding, swimming, zipline, wall-climbing, archery and a hay ride at sunset. The meals were excellent - I must have put on at least a couple of extra pounds! And the staff were great with the kids - it makes for such a great family weekend.

One highlight for me was reconnecting with a gal who lived on my hall in my freshmen year of college. We hadn't been in touch since then and so it was a real treat. And then she tells me she is a computer buff with her own blog.....well!

It was also fun to get to know the director's daughter who just had her first baby. She's also married to a quiet farmer type of guy and we had a good laugh at ourselves - crazy farm women!

And I've just gotta brag about archery. I took both R6 and P4 for that activity and was glad to give it a try too. It turns out I was a pretty good shot for an old gal. I knocked over the cans set up several times. I tried the climbing wall and I was more than happy to let L beat me to the top....actually I didn't make it to the top but I had fun anyway.
