A fun trip

Yesterday Terry and I stopped at Cynthia's house to pick up Jude and then drove down to Servant Camp.  We stayed only a couple of hours but it was a fun trip.  We did not get to see everyone of my grand children who are there but we did get big hugs from Faustina and Audrey.  So the FIVE who are enjoying some God time this week are Henry, Liam, Faustina, Audrey and Jude who goes as a pony for 3 "day only" times.
It appears that I left Servant Camp in good hands as they are enjoying about 300 campers and it appeared that everyone was having a great time.  It was good to see so many staff that I worked with for so many years, 31 to be accurate.  Of course I did not work all that time with many, if any of the current staff BUT many of them have spent many many summer weeks at camp playing with, talking with, praying with and mentoring so many young people.  I always said that camp was a special place because it was kids in a "kids place" and not "kids in an adult place".  I know that Servant Camp is not perfect and is not for every young person BUT so many many people have met Jesus there and continue to follow Him in their life.  It certainly warms my heart.
Another day of light rain yesterday and last night.  About 0.6" of rain will make the lawn and garden happy.  I did spray for weeds about 3 hours before the rain came.  The directions said it would be good after an hour so we will see if the directions are honest or if they give false information.
I think I have too many eating out times this week.  I had breakfast out Monday and Wednesday and Terry and I will go out with the Winds tonight.
I have the baseboards for the bathroom primed and painted twice so I could install them today.  After that it is making the quarter rounds and getting them up.  After that it will be touch up time and the bath will be finished except for the door.  I need to finish the exterior wall before I hang the door.  It is a barn door kind of thing and I THINK I have enough space to hang it with an inch to spare.  I did say  I THINK.  God and good luck have been on our side so far.  We installed the vanity and then the light mounted in the mirror without a thought about the height of the light and how the door opens.  When the two were in I opened the vanity and it cleared the light by less than an inch--ouch!  A God moment or luck I do not know but it works so I am thankful.  Perhaps I should say sometimes a person can ignore good planning and things still turn out.
I am going to try a bike ride today and hope it does not rain.  One more cup of FP and I will be good to go.
