Happy 4th of July!
Not much is planned on this end. Jo is not “feeling” a cookout so we will be doing something else. After an early morning bike (I hope) for me (while she sleeps), we will be heading down to our church camp to visit some campers. Every week there are campers, either Ryan or I make a trip to camp to visit them. Two weeks ago Ryan was a co-dean for a Senior High Wilderness week. After a week at home, he and his family headed back to camp for a Middle School/Jr. High wilderness week. Yes…you are reading that right.
He is a glutton for punishment. He’s also a whole lot younger than me. He and Hope are younger than both of our girls! AAAAAAH!! (cue in MacCauley Caulkin in Home Alone after putting on after shave). So anyway, we are heading down to visit them.
After that I have to go to Menards in Columbus, In. We are doing renovation and remodeling to the church building and the Menards in Bloomington did not have enough wainscoting. But Columbus had enough so I will combine two birds with one stone.
Jo gets a treat out of it. She gets a meal out. Yeah…she likes to keep me company. Do you think it might be for some other reason than my charming personality? I do.
Something for me (an early morning ride). Something for the campers (me!! 🙂 ). Something for Jo and Tami (who likes to tag along when we are eating out).
Have a remarkable 4th remembering what we all need…Freedom. I’ll encourage you to visit my friend, Martha, for her excellent post. She says it better than I can.
Thanks so much, Bill, for plugging my post here!!! It’s so appreciated. 🙂
Blessings for a great Fourth!
It was my pleasure Martha. I can’t see the sense of “reinventing the wheel,” especially when someone has already done a masterful job.
Sounds like a wonderful and blessed day beyond all of our wildest imaginations.
Happy 4th, brother.
It all happened except the early morning ride. When we got home in the afternoon the heat index was in the 100s so I’ll take a rain check (speaking of which we could use some). But it was a good day. I’ll ride tomorrow early morning or around noon…Lord willing.
