After my week at camp,  I was exhausted and just lost track of time. Didn’t mean to take a break but that’s what I ended up doing. The week went very well. I love those students and leaders so much. Now I am fully rested and ready to catch-up on reading and everything else. How have you been? Have I missed any big news?

Right Now:

In a minute I’ll be at student ministry. Gotta grab one more cup of coffee.

Reading:

I finished It All Comes Down To This by Therese Anne Fowler but totally forgot the ending so had to read the last few pages again. I need to write the review but this one will be tricky to write.

I am about halfway through with Beartown. Yes! I am finally reading it. I wasn’t too jazzed about it because I am not into hockey but it’s not at all what I expected. I should be done with it this weekend.

Watching:

We started a Korean show called Sweet Home. It’s very weird and borders on hokey. The CGI is not the greatest. It’s a pandemic where people turn into horrible monsters but many different types of monsters. Right now at three episodes in I am not sure where the story can go. It seems like a lot of carnage with no way out of it.

Grateful for:

• Great books on my “to be read” shelf. I am at no shortage of good books this summer.
• DIY hair color. I became a pro at it during the pandemic when my stylist closed up shop without warning. It’s easy, cheap and makes me look ten years younger.

Have a wonderful Sunday! My daughter is still home and has a friend visiting this week. I did buy her plane ticket back so she will be back in Missouri 8/6. Also, I go back to work two days a week beginning 8/9!

Well, not quite. I leave with the high schoolers tomorrow for a week. We are going to CIY (Christ in Youth) camp at Biola University. It’s not Hume Lake like in the past but I am excited for a new experience. And I am excited to not be trudging up and down a hill every time I need to go to the cabin. The knee is holding its own but that would for sure do it in. Wish me luck, pray, you know the drill.

They finished the CSI Vegas shoot across the street but on the final day, it looks like the neighboring house caught on fire. So now they are rectifying that issue and then we get to look forward to street resurfacing which is badly needed.

Right Now:

I am headed to student ministry. Even though it is Father’s Day, we are still meeting. We celebrated Father’s Day yesterday, after our dental appointments. LOL. You don’t realize how fast six months fly by until your cleaning appointment comes up again and because we have to get The Girl’s health stuff taken care of while here, all three of us had appointments. Long morning.

Later, maybe a nap and some lazy TV watching.

Reading:

I should be able to finish It All Comes Down To This by Therese Anne Fowler today or tomorrow. Not sure what’s next.

Watching:

We started a Korean show called Hellbound. It’s interesting. An angel of death tells you when you will die, down to the minute and then these “executors” in the form of monstrous creatures are sent to take you out. Most of these people have committed serious crimes but it’s hinting at the idea that not all of them are what you and I would consider serious crimes. Are their various levels of sin? Again, interesting.

Grateful for:

• Appetizers. I hosted book club this past Wednesday and it’s reminded me that sometimes appetizers make the perfect meal. Paired with a good bottle of wine? Even better.
• My nightly good night call from Root Beer the cat. My son video calls me and it’s always Root Beer on the screen. Darn, I miss that cat.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
