My projects are less ambitious, but along the same lines.

.
I know.
What was that all about?
And then when Clint and I went into the backyard to relax (me on my patio, with my wonderful flowering baskets, and Clint on the trampoline) he noticed that we needed some pruning done.
So he attacked the California lilac that was blocking access to the hose and denying light to enter the kitchen window. And then he cut back the boxwood, and while he was at it, he gave the grapevine a trim too.
I ran out of recepticles to put all the cuttings in, so that's on my list of things to do 5 hours before I leave for Creation.
(And today? Well, tonight? My C and D drives are full on my laptop, so at 1:30 am I am transferring photo files to my external hard drive. And burning music CD's to listen to on the drive down. And making triple batches of spaghetti sauce, ham n cauliflower soup, chocolate chip cookies, seasoned meat for tacos... and cleaning my bathroom, and putting photos in photo albums, and ... well. I predict I will be very tired once we finally arrive at the festival site 24 hours from now.)
Despite the frantic cleaning and so on, I did take manage to enjoy the sunset on Saturday night at Cresent Beach:
Thank you for summer. Thank you for this season of sunshine, rest, holidays, family-time... Thank you for the colours of summer. Thank you for the warmth of summer. You are awesome.



And God? For those who aren't joining us this year? All our older kids? Please keep them in Your care while we're away. Be real to them. Let them experience You in ways that wow and amaze them. Shower Your love on them, and give them "God moments" that remind them who they are in You. Give them opportunities to share their faith, grow in knowledge and rest in Your care. Protect them from the enemy and give them strength to withstand temptations.


1. Drew is looking forward to Creation. "It's gonna be off the chain!" I'm thankful that there will be an assortment of kids HIS age this year and he is excited about spending time with them all.
2. Garage is clean. Fridge is clean. My bathroom is clean.
3. I burned 345 calories in 30 minutes at Curves today and exceeded my target of 185 reps by 50%... Woot.
Shalom,

This is one of my favorite yearly traditions: Jane goes to Creationfest, I read about it on her blog.
