The Castle Keepers Talk About “The Gift of Friendship”
This month was my time to teach the Castle Keepers class. (If you’re wondering what that is – read here.) For some time I have had it on my heart (before Castle Keepers began) to talk to the girls about Friendship. So that’s what we did. The class was called: The Gift of Friendship Several weeks before the class, I had everyone answer questions. Some, I told them, would be kept private and were for my planning purposes only.

Back from His Wilderness Adventure – My Son is Home!
Guess who’s back??? Yep, Seth is back… for a short while before he leaves on another work adventure. We got to look at his pictures – all 358 of them and it’s going to be hard narrowing them down for this post since there were so many magnificent scenery shots. He celebrated his 23rd birthday just before he left Canada for Arizona. Another mom made his day special by baking and decorating him a cake. Thanks, Sis. Vickie. Seth was all the way in Toad River, BC, 2,500 miles away from home. To get to the area that he and his cousin would be guiding in, they trailed in with…

Well it’s come and gone – Hunting Camp 2013. It was one of the smaller camps we’ve had – only about 42 people – but all the faithfuls/diehards came once again. 🙂
