Sweltering ....


We are just ROASTING in Portland!!! I'm so thankful that today was only in the 90's! Can you believe we've been moving in this heat - in the most IN-efficient manner possible - ever since we signed papers last Friday? We couldn't get movers until next Tuesday AND had trouble getting boxes, so we've been packing random boxes, driving them the 10 miles to our new place, unpacking/emptying out those boxes to re-use.

I'm praising God for lots of things in this move, but ESPECIALLY the fact that our new domicile has air conditioning! YEAH!! A/C is rarely needed in Oregon but it is SUCH a treat this week.

Great movie!


My 10 yo daughter and I caught the 10pm showing on opening day. We had several errands to do first, including buying her a "wand" -- I took her to The Knitting Bee and a pair of gorgeous wood needles were our wands for the evening.

Time for true confession: I'm gonna have to see it again ... I've been so busy at summer camp, I actually fell asleep a couple of times!! Sad, but true. My embarrassing truth is NOT a reflection of the quality of the movie!

Feeling Better

Madam Pomfrey has worked her magic again and I'm feeling so much better. I'm not able to participate fully in all camp activities yet, but am alive! =)
