The Saturday 7

Sorry for slacking last week. I didn't have anything to report. 🤷 1. I can finally share the "secret project" I've been working on! A couple friends and I are starting a church library! 🎉 I know, I know. You're all thinking of the moldering church library filled with dusty tomes from the 80s rotting on some shelf in your church's basement. And I won't lie. There's still potential for our library to take that turn. Haha. But we've been researching, visiting other church libraries, scouring used book sales and free book events, creating presentations for the deacon board, and making our poor husbands haul things and build things and become way more involved than they signed up for! We spilled the beans in the church bulletin a couple weeks ago, and started asking for donations. But we've been collecting books on our own for months. We found an affordable Library Management System ( libib , if you're interested), and have entered almost 900 ...

Is it my age? I don't care what people think about me anymore? Is it the kick I get out of the random shirts I find? I don't know, but the impulse is growing stronger every day. I mean look at these treasures I found this week . . . Seriously, though. This begs so many questions. These shirts were just a few apart from each other. Think the same person brought them in?? Pickleball reference? It's funnier if...

 1. Lena felt better on Sunday so we were able to enjoy one more day of camping.  Levi took a selfie with every dog in the vicinity. Lol. Despite their best efforts, it was really too cold to swim. We participated in the infamous turtle races. The boys' turtle won. Which means the girls lost. Bananagrams in the cabin They decided to share the bottom bunk for our last night. Fortunately, there was no puking, and they slept great all night! 2. Monday afternoon, after we got home and unpacked, Justin and Levi decided to go fishing. Levi was actually reluctant to go because he says he never catches anything, but we strongly encouraged him just to get him out of the house/away from the TV. When they got home, I asked if he caught anything, and he said, "Nothing much . . . except this!" and pulled Justin's phone out from behind his back with this picture: He caught it all by himself, but Justin held it for the picture because apparently Pike have wicked teeth. He was sooooo...
