We had a very lazy morning. I think the kids are still trying to recover from Bible school. The way I talk, it sounds like they went through boot camp last week. Not quite, but it was a marathon for sure. Anyway, the boy got up at 8 and the girls got up at 9:20. Can you believe that? I can't either. He and I watched a good portion of "The Right Stuff". Never too early to introduce children to the beginnings of the space program as depicted by Hollywood. He was a fan of John Glenn and Chuck Yeager...or Ed Harris and Sam Shepherd, not sure which. After getting ready and breakfasting, the hub and I decided to go on a little adventure. We both grew up in camping families, first in tents and then in pop up Starcraft campers. Some of my best memories involve that camper and the neatest camping spots ever. Or popping the camper up on our carport and having slumber parties in it in the summertime. Strange but fun. We looked at some pop ups and then the salesman took us to look at their next level campers...which led us to looking in a Winnebago...which led us to look in a motor coach, just for kicks. The kids were most in love with the Winnie which contained bunk beds with their own personal flatscreen TV and two or three additional flatscreens. They tried their best not to hear the fact that it also cost 3/4 of what our house costs. It was a bit of a sad fall when they realized that the Winnie was not to be a member of our family unless, of course, we win the powerball or a large inheritance from an unknown affluent relative. So cue the sad trombone sound...kids, no Winnie for us.
This afternoon we went to celebrate the life of a dear family friend. It was a lovely and very fitting tribute to a lovely life, well lived. The number of people who came to celebrate on a sunny Saturday afternoon was a testimony to how loved Sandra was. There is a large void in our church family, but a wonderful addition to our Heavenly one. I can only hope my life will be half as fruitful as hers. God bless you, Sandra. You are missed and loved.
