He has a terrible cough and I fear for his safety, but it’s very good to have him here. Summer has arrived! (Prayer his cough, though.)

Whoops, yet again
I had a bunch to do yesterday and last night and I forgot to write a post. There wasn’t anything exciting going on – just regular work stuff and getting this crazy house ready for Brad. Good thing you’re easy, Brad. Don’t get your hopes up. 🙂
Shabby chair, hidden brother
Can you see him?
Ralph is a chair hog. Poor Wally.
Busy busy busy
It has been a busy weekend around here. I got home late Friday night after working on stuff for Sunday’s conference, then back again on Saturday for more of the same. I came home for a bit before going to WalMart for supplies and found that Lloyd had been washing the windows. Not just washing the windows, but demolishing every speck of dirt on and around the windows. No kidding – they look like they’ve just been installed. He’s amazing.
Sunday morning we did a little cleaning before the VBS service, then I went to the center for the tour that we were hosting. Several of our staff are out of town or just oblivious, but the setting up of the building was left to a small few.
The tour went well, there there was some social time, which I don’t care for but I participated in anyway, then a dinner and a presentation that was very inspiring.
It was a good, busy weekend. How was yours?
80% done. Well, maybe 74%
We have finished 4 days of VBS. Friday is the last day. Then there’s a service on Sunday.
That’s all I have to say about that.
Golden Touch
Whew. This could be a long, boring story or a short boring story. Let’s see how it goes.
We are hosting an Open House on Sunday for the early childhood conference. People are coming to see our beautiful, inspirational building, and instead they are going to get to see how my room looks in the summer. I normally have artwork hanging in the windows to the hallway, but currently those windows are full of reminder to parents to bring nap stuff, call us if they will be late or absent, blah blah blah. I am not likely to take all that down for one day, but I would like to have the children’s artwork up.
I don’t do crafts. Those irritate me to no end. Instead, I have scrap paper, cardboard, and an endless supply of cheap masking tape. My kids make crazy weird stuff and I love it. When they gift a treasure to me, I thank them and ask them to stick it somewhere on the cabinet doors – with masking tape.
I have some empty cardboard frames, and after we swirled Elmer’s glue all over them and let them dry, today I spray painted them gold. We’ll stick these on the cabinets and they can change out their masterpieces to their heart’s content, and it will look a little less random than my normal world.
As I’ve always said, everything is cooler when it’s painted gold.
