HOT DAYS OF SUMMER

Ken is relaxing as he sips on coffee and opens his bag of new work shirts. He is enjoying working on the project of enclosing the sun room, although it is going slower than planned as it is too hot in mid day to be out there. (We have had several days over 100 degrees with a very high heat index.) We will be able to cool and heat this room once it is finished so it will be a great addition for us. We enjoy sitting out here having coffee or something cool to drink as we take in the sites (birds, flowers, trees, etc.) and listen to the relaxing sound of the water fall.

These are outside pictures of the room in progress. He is now working on the inside trim around all the windows.

We have been busy. I have been trying to take care of the rest of the inside and outside chores while Ken is busy on our project. Mowing our 5 acres, watering flowers, keeping the fish pond in shape, and working some in the garden along with trying to keep the inside chores done is a full time job. Then there is my candle business, that gets some of my attention, too. We are enjoying our summer and thankful for our health and energy to keep going.

BUSY, BUSY FIRST TWO WEEKS OF JUNE

Falls Creek tabernacle which holds I think about 8,000. This year we had around 6,000. Our cabin was on the highest hill and every evening we walked down to the tabernacle.

This is our "standard" so we could find where we were all sitting. These pictures are a little out of order and mixed up on this post, as I was having problems getting the pictures to download.

We had lots of talent and plenty of music in our cabin, too.

Arleta and Tonya

The first week of June, I was busy helping to cook for our Falls Creek Youth Church Camp. This is our group in front of our cabin. What a great group of youth. There was much work and many blessings.

(This picture should have been the first one, but as I said, I was just lucky to get some pictures posted this time.)

In the mean time, our garden was growing and so was our grass, so one of my jobs the second week of June was to mow our 5 acres. We also were able to have green beans and new potatoes from our garden. Mmmm so good.

While I was in Falls Creek, Ken started our first project that we have been planning since we first moved into our home 2 years ago. He is playing "Bob the Contractor" and I am "Contrator's Helper" as he is enclosing our front screened in room to make it into an Oklahoma Sun Room.

Some of our group at mealtime

This is where I spent the majority of my time along with Arleta and Tonya. The kitchen was large with many cabinets, coutertops, and metal table to do our work along with 3 sinks.
