On the solid rock...

Well, another first this week. Ryan and I went on a climbing trip with the LTD class, monday and tuesday. Poor Ryan was just chomping at the bit to get up on the bluff and climb, but couldn't because of his shoulder. I, on the other hand, stood back, fully intending NOT to get up there...well...the picture says it all!! I must say there is quite a parable between the solid rock that I was climbing and the one I was praying to while I was doing this!! :) But, did I ever have fun!! YEAH GOD!!

It's ASH-E-LEY!!

So...this past weekend we had a visitor!! Our friend Ashley...or as Maia and Zoe call her "Ash-e-ley"...came and spent the weekend with us. For those of you who don't know Ashley, she is one of our youth group "kids", who is now a second year student at UW-Eau Claire...Go Blue-Golds!! We had a lovely weekend. It was so good to get caught up and to show her this place that we love so much. Saturday, we spent part of the day walking around and taking LOTS of pictures...here are just a few!

Someone's in the kitchen with Heather....

Well today I found myself in familiar territory!! We had the "Golden Agers" retreat today...about 100 retired folkes who come in for the day to hear a message, sing some hymns, and EAT!! I was blessed enough to work in the camp kitchen and help prepare breakfast and dinner...to work at 6:30a.m....but I was done at 2:00!! It was great to put in a good morning's work...especially in an area I am familiar with!! And as you can see by the picture, I had plenty of good company!! Those are our great friends Herbie and Lisa...newly married for just over a week!!
