We’ve been home for several weeks and are now preparing to depart for our longest trip this summer. We’re heading to North Idaho July 22 and will be gone for approximately 3 1/2 weeks.
Dave is not happy with the small Bambi Airstream but I will try to keeps him chipper on this trip. We are visiting family and also attending a Stearns family reunion where he will be the patriarch. I want him to really enjoy himself as the reunion in Boise was scheduled around our travels.
Update from the weaving week - it was a great motivator for me and I look forward to spending many days pursuing this hobby, both tapestry and rigid heddle weaving. I have signed up for enough online classes to keep me busy for a year or more. The two wall hangings I completed while in North Carolina are hung in my home. Now I am tackling the tapestry I started months ago and also working on my little Hackett loom.
Other interests such as the piano, the fiddle, the camera and the prayer bead making are all on my agenda for this coming year. I am hesitating to join anything other than the book club twice a month at the senior center and the Bible study meeting Thursdays for one hour. Always in the background are hours required for my master gardening certification.
Am I slowing down now that the octogenarian decade is beginning? Maybe I am deciding that having many obligations on my calendar takes energy away from what really is meaningful ~ seeking God’s leading and worshipping the Savior.
Due soon is a post about the book mobile - our Saturday morning commitment and an experience in joyful giving.
I hope to have pics to share from our Idaho trip too.
Stay comfy!
