Summer Flying By

by Jean Lockwood

With all the switchover to a different server, the availability for me to write and you to read has been almost nothing. Hopefully all is well now.
Summer is already half over, and it feels like it has just begun.
Dan and I took the family camping a couple of weeks ago, and it was a blast. Of course a camper would have been better than a tent to sleep in, but the king sized air mattress we have helped with that part of it.
We have moved our church, and changed the name. God is moving us in ways that surprise me, and doing it suddenly. Things have happened so fast, and we are having our Grand Opening this week, Thursday thru Saturday evenings. I am expecting many good things to happen (and planning on baking cookies for whoever comes….wanna join us??).
This week will be full of writing (for me), working (at church)_ and fun (with kids).
Yesterday was my birthday, so I am older now. (really middle aged!!)
Hopefully summer will slow slightly so I can take a breath.
Tuesday is my oldest son’s 22nd birthday, and Saturday is mine and Dan’s 28th anniversary. How time flies.
Summer; full of fun, busyness and surprises.
