Lydia went to Dance School for several days and was in a dance recital July 20th.
The recital was ballet and tap. This is the tap segment. Lydia is in the back row, 2nd from the end.
Freshwater JC, the church I have attended for a little over a year, does an annual "Labor For Your Neighbor" (L4YN) project. This year we helped River Oaks Christian Academy get their new (new to them) building ready for classes this fall. They had outgrown their old facility. We budgeted $25,000 for the project. On Sunday, July 22nd, around 100 of us met at their building and worked a minimum of 3 hours. Many hours of planning and work occurred prior to that Sunday morning. The largest crew painted a LOT of the interior of the facility (some of them worked from 8AM-5PM with only a short lunch break), another crew installed shelving, another one installed playground equipment. My crew repainted old lockers, built an painted bases for the lockers, and installed the lockers.
The lockers were 12"x18"x48". There were 4 or 5 lockers in each of the 9 sections. They were purple. Kenny Shaw and I moved them to his shop and he painted them green, one of the school colors. Then we moved them back so they were ready to install Sunday morning.
The finished product.
Around Aug 8th we are plan on hooking up our travel trailer and heading north. Our plan is to go up through Iowa, to visit a friend from when we lived there, then on up through Minnesota, Wisconsin Michigan's Upper Peninsula, down across the Mackinaw Bridge and maybe spend time visiting Greenfield Village in Dearborn before stopping at Mom's for a couple of days. After than the plan is to head down to NW Ohio for Kendahl's wedding on Sept 1st before heading back to Missouri.
Once we get on the road I will try and be reasonably regular about posting updates.
