We had a great time at my little reunion two weeks ago. We used to be just four young girls – 30 years later we’re 4 ladies, 4 husbands and 24 (soon to be 25) children! It was hard to know whether to reminisce or catch up from the last umpteen years. We hadn’t all been together at one time for about 20 years. Thank God for friends!
As soon as we got home, we dove right into VBS. It went quite well, I’d say. There were anywhere from 31 – 41 kids. It was exhausting though, and it’s good to be done for anther year.
Overheard at Sheldon’s late at night:
Sheldon (nagging Alicia about chewing her fingernails): “I read that chewing your fingenails reduces life expectancy the same as smoking a pack a day.”
Sara: “But it’s cheaper!”
I howled with laughter, but it was pretty late. Not sure if it’s funny now…
The ratio of sunshine: rain has finally tipped more in favor of the sunshine! Yay! It’s an absolutely gorgeous day (and I need to go to the basement and sew!) (That was yesterday. Today it rained most of the day again.)
My dress for Rachel’s wedding is about 65% done. Maybe more. Tomorrow I’m going to sew the bodice and skirt together and then wait for my friend Phyllis to put in the invisible zipper. (I never learned to do those things. I always had Mom do it.) It’s looking really pretty.
It’s only 9 days until we hit the road for Indiana and Rachel and Dave’s big day. Mercy! It’s gonna be a marathon until then!
I’m convinced Hannah has/had another (the fourth?) ear infection. This happened two weeks ago and again this week. She was fussy about drinking her bottle and would usually only take a 3 – 5 oz. at a time. So, I started in on the onion/garlic/olive oil treatment and also did vinegar for good measure. I started yesterday and today I could already tell a big difference. She’s taking 7-8 oz. at a time. Two weeks ago I did the same treatment and it seemed to work then too. Craziness!
I’m trying to start exercising again. It’s so hard to get back into the routine – especially when I’m still so tired that I rarely get up early. I miss my early morning walks…
That's all for tonight. It's way past my bed-time!

Sara can be hilarious. I wish I could think up witty repartees as fast as she does.
Thanks for supper last night. =)
I wonder where Sheldon heard that? Or did he just make it up? If it's true I have even more fodder for my fire with Andrea...
I'm happy about your dress...are you gonna post pictures? Please?
again, my brain has nothing witty to say...just that i was here and was glad to read the news. :) i guess we'll be traveling at the same time, eh?
I'd love to see pictures of the dress! Ear infection cure sounds great.
iris, i believe sheldon read it on the web. he said to google "nail-biting health hazards".
yes rhonda, i'll be thinking of and praying for you while we're traveling.
Wow, you're busy!!! Thinking of you! By the time you get back from Rachel's wedding... we'll be living in madsen again! Yay!
Hi Jenni,
I have been here! Good read! Busy summer! Here's another thing that works for ear infections, put alittle peroxide in her ear for like 30 seconds or till it foams for alittle and then get out whatever runs out. that too works. I have done that to my kids!
HEY! Maybe consider updating before Caleb gets married, Logan joins the circus, Jojo learns morse code, and Hannnah learns to sew.
