With summer well underway, I thought I would pop on here and say hi ... just in case my annonymous message leaver checks up on me. Such a friend ... checking to see if I upload anything new!
It has been great to wake in the morning and realize I don't have to go work ... for several more weeks! There's the pool to clean, the house to clean, the boxes of stuff left over from our "flood" to go through, ... hmmmm... sounds like work to me.....
This week is Vacation Bible School ... 78 kids the first night with more on the 2nd. Our church has so much fun with the kids. The junior high and highschool get to go to "pink chicken" for their lessons and then hop a school bus for a trip to Alter-Whittaker Beach for some true summer fun. The younger ones have their lessons in the church, crafts (that's me) and snack, too. Their games are out in the parking lot and usually have something to do with water or at least getting dirty! If it rains outside, they play games inside .. hopefully with no water :-)
Crafts have been "challenging" this year; not only for the kids but for the adults as well! One of them took over an hour for me to make and I had my 8 year old granddaughter helping me! Glue does not dry quickly in humid weather.
Speaking of my 8 year old granddaughter, her birthday was last week and she celebrated all week long! First she had her "kid" party in NJ complete with cupcakes which when placed together formed a beautiful horse. Then she got to celebrate it again at the Johnson Family Reunion in Northville! (Her Grandmother Worden was a Johnson.) So our "baby" is growing up!
But not to be outdone, our REAL baby granddaughter, Isabella, turned 1 just before Erika's birthday and got to celebrate as well. She is such a doll baby! With hair that reminds of Chris' when he was little ...not able to be styled :-) She loves to talk and makes the cutest noises when she plays and reads. Reading books is a favorite. She takes small steps by herself but prefers crawling when she really wants to get somewhere. She loves the cats ... one of them even lets her!
Well, times a wasting! Guests for lunch tomorrow, so must get the dining room ready. Plans are being made for Bill's retirement party in September and more crafts to get ready for VBS.
Hopefully I'll have some summer pics to post in a week or two. Catch you then!

Thanks for updating. At least I know what is going on.

Hello Mrs. Pitcher,
This is Loreal. I happened to pop on for a few seconds (yes you heard right) of surfing the web for fun and thought I'd check your blog again! Yes, it's been forever, I know, but a lot has really changed for all of us it seems!!! Please give your husband my best, and I wish him well in his retirement. It appears from what you've written recently that even if you're not working, you're still working. Sounds about like what I've been doing lately. I have a lot I want to fill you in on but will try to email later this afternoon or evening, time and work depending. Things are crazy for me, but in a good way, and I hope to be able to catch up with you soon. I'm not sure about the pics, will have to have my girlfriend Cheryl describe them to me if she has time this week. Please give my best to your family. I hope all of you are well.
Loreal
