Hi friends! I've missed you all but have been reading posts. I've gotten a few messages checking to make sure all is well here, so thought I'd put up a little post to share what's been happening.
First, we had a little getaway with Alaina and Ruby. We had a marvelous time and I'll share pics of that later.
The next week was VBS. Our theme was Psalm 23 and it was set in Ireland. We did lots and lots of work on the decor and here's a few pics.
There were cute little sheep all over!
Nothing else was quiet though - and that's good. The kids had fun and heard the greatest story ever. We adults had fun too!
And - this is the reason for the continued break. I've been working on a family history book. I have photos going way back, lots of documents and then these.... These are all letters my Dad wrote to my mom when he was in the army. I have all the photos and documents put into a book which will be printed. I had originally thought I would scan the letters to put in, but after nearly 70 years, they don't have the quality to scan. So, I am typing them up and it takes a lot of time! I decided that unless I really buckled down and got to it, I would never finish.
I'm making progress, but the blog break continues! Thanks to those who checked in with me.
One more thing! Happy 4th to my friends in the USA. I'm thankful for my country. It may not be perfect but I'm so glad to live here.
Hope to see you all soon!
Oh goodness! I also have a bunch of letters my parents wrote to each other during the war... He was Navy.

I do miss those VBS days, smiles. Happy 4th of July, Mari. smiles
ReplyDeleteYour vacation Bible school decor is the best I've ever seen, Mari! I so enjoyed helping out with ours when our oldest granddaughter was little and they were living near us. Great memories! And that's a daunting task to transcribe those letters. More power to you! I know your children and grandchildren will be grateful that you did. Happy Fourth!
ReplyDeleteWOW! YOU HAVE been busy! That project with the letters, etc., sounds like a big one, but how wonderful to be able to have those precious letters and to put them into a book is such a great idea! And I LOVE the VBS decor, theme, etc. That looks like it was a lot of work, but I know the kids loved it! And I saw some of your photos on facebook of your trip with the girls. Looks like you had a wonderful time! So many blessings!!!! Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have been a busy beaver. Those sheep are adorable and so was that paper chain tree. What talent. Happy 250th birthday to America! Janice
