Vacation Bible School.  Enough said for any of you who have worked in VBS.  The first night we had 18, yes, 18 preschoolers rotating around to the different classes.  I wanted to pull my hair out. (But only the gray ones.)  Once again I was reminded why I am no longer a public school teacher. LOL!  But on Tuesday the class was divided which made things much easier.  I was in charge of music.  If any of you have done the hand motions to the  "Game Day Central" VBS you know what a work out it was.  Add "Father Abraham" to the mix five times each night and you know I didn't need to walk each morning.

The Saturday after VBS was my dad's retirement party.  Dear Husband and I drove to a not so nearby town to celebrate with him.  Thirty years with the United States Postal Service is something to be proud of.  It made me proud to hear all the nice things said about him.

Sunday was church as usual, then DD16 headed to Mission camp for the week to serve as a counselor in training. On Monday we took DD12 and four other girls from church to the same camp.  (I don't have pictures because I sent my camera with DD12.)  I know they are having a blast.  It is awfully quiet around here and I miss them.

 Today I've been trying to catch up on some things around the house.  I don't know how much progress I've made, but at least I can no longer grow watermelons on the entertainment center in the living room.  The dust had dust.

On Friday DS19 is headed to an undisclosed (not to me but to you for security reasons) part of the world on a mission trip.  Pray for his safety and my peace of mind.

Hope everyone is having a great week.
