This week is destined to be as busy as the month that is essentially over. Our church met at a park for services today and had a picnic lunch afterwards. I was so blessed that it was shady and we enjoyed a breeze now and then. After eating too much pork barbecue, we had our second service. It's normally in the evening but we did everything at the same time since we had rented the pavilion. Holly was excited to be able to help in the makeshift nursery. They had a mosquito net tent far enough away so the little children could play to their hearts' content.

A good part of this week will be spent preparing for summer camp for Holly and myself. I am going as one of the counselors. It is rumored there is no A/C in the cabins. Pray for a cool front to come through! I realize that it will be the middle of July but I believe in miracles. On Saturday, we will be found at a local festival. Our church will be giving out water, face painting and other activities. I have never been to this festival before but I am envisioning extreme heat and a complete lack of shade. I hoping to be one of those passing out the water, dipping my hands into the ice cold cooler to find temporary relief.

Other projects for the week include the never ending organizing of this tiny apartment and working on homeschool plans for the fall. I have almost everything I need for Holly. I have a running start for Gabriel and Hannah but I am still looking for World History and World Literature. Anyone have any good ideas?
