Seven Sunny Days

We had another week of amazing weather. We enjoy hearing the hoot of the Barred Owl, the call of the Sandhill Cranes and seeing the Northern Cardinal dart about. Signs of spring are appearing with the azalea's opening their buds and the pine trees shedding their pollen. The camp is a buzz with many campers each weekend whereby we are privleged to enjoy prepared meals.

This week many things got done here at camp. Annette helped with cleaning windows in a couple of cabins, washed down many rocking chairs that are on the motel porches, and scrubbed the ceramic tile floor in the dining hall kitchen and put on grout sealer.

Jim continued all week on his project of building more fluorescent light boxes.

We took a group photo of the volunteers at the Thursday potluck. Of this group of 22 people, 3 couples are from the SOWER's (Servants on wheels ever-ready), the rest are all from Mennonite Churches 3 of which are Canadians. The camp director and his wife joined us for food and fellowship. We have been having this meal in the screened porch at the dining hall. The mosquitoes come out at sunset so this is a good place to be.

On Friday, Jim & I drove to Hillsborough State Park (about an hour from here) to do some hiking. We packed a picnic lunch and had an enjoyable day exploring another part of Florida.

On Saturday we had a more leisurely day, Jim washed the truck and trailer, we cleaned the interior of the RV and I baked some cookies.
