We all survived Vacation Bible School in pretty good shape. It went well we had about 85 kids that attended and about 140 people at the program on Thursday Night.
Bekah was supposed to be home all this week, but wound up working in the camp office this week. She did get home for the week end. Boy was it good to see her. She has the rest of this week and next week then she’s pretty much home for the summer.
Elizabeth finished her class up for the summer and has a couple of weeks to work as much as she can before starting in again.
Next week Linda and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We plan to celebrate by buying a new TV for the bedroom (the old one went out a couple of months ago). Are we an old married couple or what?

Summer Update
I haven't done very well keeping up on this blog, but maybe I'll do better from here on out. Our summer has been a busy one and is fast slipping away. We just started Vacation Bible School today. Linda is again directing it and I'm helping out as needed. We had about 80 kids there today. We have a band from Youth Encounter, Captive Free in to do the music and that is a big help. We have lots of youth and adults from the congregation helping out as well. It should be a good week.
Last week we baby-sat our two year old great niece, Sara Grace. It was interesting and a little bit challenging having a two year old around again. Boy has it been a while. All in all we got a long pretty well though she was not always a happy camper. Sara is very verbal and vocal for a two year old. Linda and Elizabeth went to the mall with her and he told one of Elizabeth's friends Hi, my name is Sara Grace. I'm two. I live with these people now, because they won't take me home. My mommy will be so mad.
Rebekah has been a counselor (I guess her official title is Jr. Cabin Leader) at a Lutheran Camp near Junction City. She gets home for the occasional week end and we have been up there to see her , mom and my sister's crew a couple of times. She really enjoys working with the kids and has a real servants heart. Last week she even got pressed into service as the camp cook.
Elizabeth is taking a class, Tertiary Care, this summer. She works three 12 hr shifts Monday - Wednesday as a part of the class then usually gets in at least a couple of 8 hr sifts as a nurse tech. She is very busy, complains about not having a life, but is doing well.
In addition to getting ready for VBS Linda has been taking some computer classes offered by the school district. She will be teaching 7th grade next year and helping with the implementation of a new computer project.
If things weren’t busy enough Linda, Mike and Elizabeth also helped out with the Churches firework stand again this year. It gets bigger every year. This year we sold $259,000.00 worth of fireworks and when it is all said and done should make about $42,000.00 for the church and missions.
We’ll that’s about it I guess. Take care.
