Getting ready for the 100th Celebration of Lakeview CRC

Gary was asked by members of our church if he would be interested in making a new sign for church.  The old sign was in really bad shape ---- the wood was pretty rotten.......  Yes - he could do that.  "Draw me a picture".  So they did.  After much cutting --- there are lots of letters in LAKEVIEW Christian Reformed Church --- and some agonizing on the "how to"....he got it done.   It was put in place this past Wednesday.

I suppose I should have taken a photo when the trailer and everyone was gone...but I kind of liked all the chiefs in place too.  :)  You made our blog Jean  :)  :)  The sign got it's final paint job and then we noticed this morning that the birds came in for a close shot of it too.  DRAT!!  Oh well --- the rain this evening hopefully cleaned that off.

Our lawn if finally nice and green but those yellow "flowers" are really sickening!!!  I do NOT like dandelions - at all!  Our garden is planted and this afternoon we were out looking at it -- we do not remember seeing any corn yet........then after the rain Gary went out to put Toby away and he said THE CORN IS UP.....it was NOT showing before the rain.  Makes you wonder what the rain has in it compared to the water from the ground.?!?!?!?

Tomorrow (Monday, May 26) we will be heading west.  Our plan is to drive to Salt Lake City, Utah and pick up an RV - "Cruize America".  And then we want to drive down to Bryce and Zion Canyon and hopefully The Hoover Dam, and whatever else we find to check out.  We hope to do some day hikes in Bryce.    For some reason it never feels right to leave........when we tell the kids at JDC that we won't be coming on Wednesday they say something like "for real"?!  And this time it will be for 2 Wednesdays.  However,  we are ALWAYS so thankful for Julie and Andee ---- we know that the lessons and meetings will go on without us.  The kids are always pretty much OK with it too.....it's just us----we hate to leave.

So if you think of us --- if you would --- say a little prayer for safe travel and vehicles that continue to run good....and etc.  :)  When we return we will have to go full gear on Prairie Light Youth Camp....taking place July 14-18.

I am thinking this will be a trip of MANY photos.....so prepare yourself for a trip into Canyon land. :)
