Here we are up in Grayling, MI again. Not quite as far as Mackinaw Bridge. The trees are just beginning to change colors. Should be beautiful in a couple of weeks. Sarah, Leah, Gram and I are here for the LIFT program of the SDA education department. Lifestyle improvement program for 7th and 8th graders. We are in charge of all the song services, 9 to be exact, and Sarah is leading a seminar on card making as an outreach for Bible Labs.
This program is from Sunday - Wednesday and then we are back here from Fri-Sun for the Mother Daughter retreat sponsored by Women's Ministries in MI. I am in charge of decorating and music and helping with anything else that needs doing. Whew, I am tired already.
It is 5:00 am Monday and I woke up with a bad headache, a combo of stress and hunger. No time for supper last night and just to much going on. Couple excedrin later and I am doing better. Yesterday was a horrific day.
We packed up Dan's extended length Yukon with decorations, scrapbook supplies, music, computers, sleeping bags, banners, stoller, baby bed, luggage for 4, baby food/bottles, etc., and barely had room to move. Thanks David for your help stuffing it all in. Of course we got a late start.
But, we did have time to stop at Birch Run Outlets for only 45 minutes and then eat lunch. Good thing, no food after that. Picked up some cute things for Leah at Carters and sunglasses for Sarah which we forgot.
Well, Leah decided to get the worst diaper rash she has ever had on Sunday am. Wow, hope we make it. She screams bloody murder and we are in a lodge with people next door to us. Pray we have a miraculous healing cause it is so hard on her.
Then, Sarah spent hours on power point for her presentation and was told they no longer had a projector for her. So we borrowed the schools. Of course when we were testing last night it won't work. Well, turns out Sarah forgot to take the lens cap off, so we are hoping for success this morn.
Had to get gas last night at about 10:00 pm. cause I was on empty. Yeah, $3.72 here instead of $3.37 at home. Also picked up a few treats for Gram since she was babysitting with no supper. Yes, she is still speaking to us, but barely.
Leah did go to sleep good last night which was a blessing. And through all this, not one picture. I will try to be better today. Boy, a picture of that car would have been so nice to show you.
And another blessings, they have the internet in Deer Lodge. Yeah! Well, will try to keep you more informed as the week goes by.

Oh dear, I'm weary just hearing about all you are doing! You need a vacation. We head to Hawaii tomorrow, actually get there on Wednesday after an overnight in Seattle to see family there. I'm excited. Have a great week. I'll be blogging hopefully from Hawaii so keep watching. Connie
