Well, we finished up the last full day of cooking….and I have to say, the grilled chicken was a BIG HIT! Thanks Jerry!

Donece made a homemade peach cobbler that was so good “it’d make you wanna slap yo mama!”

I’m just say’n…

Nancy, Mrs. Everlee, Donece and Jerry Hicks, and myself are THANKFUL that today went as well as it did….we won’t talk about the RUSH at Taco time….

God was good…all week long. Tomorrow the sweet little munchkins will all go home…. (smile–sigh– take some more Aleve)

I have NEVER hurt this bad all over….EVER. EVEN after working in the field all day…planting tomatoes. ALL DAY. ACRES of TOMATOES… I’m just say’n….

This was a challenge. I honestly laid in the bed early this morning–somewhere between 4 and 5 and thought…”can I do this for 5 more weeks???

I told Jeff yesterday…after a major crying jag in the shower…I wasn’t sure if I could hold up. I am leaving for “She Speaks” in July..and after working Monday through Wednesday of THAT week, I wonder if I will have enough sense to get on the right airplane on Thursday morning….

I guess if I don’t show back up Sunday evening…then Jeff will know that I didn’t have enough sense….

If I don’t —maybe I will wind up somewhere very cool…like Alaska???

All of us are suffering from the extreme heat in the kitchen and the air conditioner being OUT.  Swollen legs, hands and faces…and no, it has nothing to do with the peach cobbler.

If I don’t get back online this weekend…(maybe I will, but just in case), HAPPY FATHER’S Day to all you great Dad’s out there! I personally think I am MARRIED to the BEST DAD any children ever had!

I love you Jeff!! You are a WONDERFUL husband to me…and super daddy to our girls…and I think there are 7 little kids who would say you are a pretty neat “Papa” too….

AND I am excited to hear him preach on Sunday at Red Hill Methodist Church! Yay!!!

Y’all. I am really too tired to tell you too much about these photos…or the sweet kids…or the dedicated counselors…or the HARD WORKING KITCHEN STAFF….

Donece and Jerry head up the team…Jerry ran the grill today and grilled up some mighty fine hamburgers! Nancy and I helped out where we could and there there was…Mrs. Everlee, a fixture…I don’t know if they could “do camp” without her.

Pastor Donald, Pastor Mel–Cynthia–and Aaron’s whole gang are here–not to mention…many folks I just can’t mention—because my brain and body is too tired…and 6 o’clock will come early.

I will try to upload pics–I have several that will take some for me—but finding the time to upload will the the trial…because I have promised a certain amazing kids pastor some homemade banana pudding….And of course, Cynthia…after all, she did give me a duck…(remember? I shared the story at the Grace AG Missions Dinner–and I shared it on Laced With Grace last week… (click on the link if you’ve not read the story).

Anyway, PRAY for us–we need strength…and TODAY IS JUST DAY NUMBER 1!!!! of 6 weeks!!!

Thank you to all who pitched in…thank you to all the kids who waited patiently on a HOT off the grill hamburger!

Thank you to GOD for blessing us with a great first day!  I will have some pictures of the Kidz Ministry Team before the week is over! I promise!
