Things are strange this week!

Our parents from Florida left on Saturday. They were only here two weeks, but we enjoyed having them so much that we really are missing them now. Our cat "Petes" is going through withdrawals too. We had a great time with them and wish they could have stayed longer.
Then Sunday I took the kids over to Riverside Bible Camp for the week. I pray that they are having a blast. Like typical kids as soon as we were there they were hungry. Thankfully, I had taken along a picnic and so I could feed the bottom-less pits. As soon as they were done they let me know I could leave. For the first time, my son was "too cool" for a hug from Mom. He really is growing and changing.
I have spent the week working on stuff that needed to get done a long time ago, but I never had time. If it were not for the help of the 8 month old, huge, big footed clutzy "puppy", I probably could have done lots more. He is SUCH a help. Right now he has a yeast infection in his ear and I have to wash it out with this junk. He of course hates it and that means I have to fight with him on the floor. Suddenly he is all legs and it feels like he has 10 of them.
Tomorrow is our 16th anniversary. Of course Will has to work, so we are going out today. We are going to go and see the "Pirates". Of course it was almost 17 years ago that he told me that "he had no time to place and no space for a woman in his life"....to which I replied "who wants you?" I don't think that we ever could have imagined where we would be today back then. I still love him more today than I did then.
I started working full fledge on Cranfest as of this week. We are at 70 days and counting. I don't know why I love it so much. We have tried to analyze it over and over. All we can come up with is that I (we) love it because we get a chance to make SO MANY people happy. Imagine making a difference in over 100,000 people's lives. Of course add in the chance for me to use my brain for something besides homework and housework and I'm happy. I also enjoy the fact that we keep it a family festival and are very, very careful about what is offered. There is no pornography, no drinking (only in a beer tent way off the beaten path and even it's contained), there is no "gross" music, no lewd tshirts, no merchandise that is unacceptable. We make sure that a person can bring their children and they will not see things that they shouldn't. I like that. Our children see too much in their young lives already we try to keep them from seeing it at our fest.
Will works 6 out of 7 days this week. Poor man. I'm trying to spoil him when he gets home.
Mom and Dad just got home last night from Tennessee. I hope they had a great time with my brother and his family. I pick up the kids Friday and then Jacob goes back for a second weekof camp on Sunday again. Two more family reunions the next weekend. Camping at Green Lake in the beginning of August and then it's time to get ready for school. Summer sure goes by quickly.
Well time for housework......life must go on.
God Bless.
