I'm still blogging, but...

...I have been doing alot of work on my volunteer groups as well as finalizing things for our daughters' upcoming wedding. I will be back to blogging more soon!! (or at least I hope to be back). Here has been some of the events that I have been doing since my last blog entry.

-Spending some family time in Lewes, Delaware (we all were together for a few days, which was WONDERFUL)
-preparing for the upcoming 1st annual kidney foundation walk to be held in Delaware
-working on the fall semester food volunteer list for the weekly Tuesday night meals as well as keeping the main database current for the BHC/DCCMF campus ministry.
-continually working with Megan and doing other things that she is not able to get to with working, etc for the upcoming wedding event. (I'll share that wonderful experience throughout my blogging. It has been such an emotionally great event in my life as the mother-of-the-bride. We're having a great time working together). Nov 8th is only 97 days away!!!!!!
-Jim and I are planning some time away in the Outer Banks the end of August.
-I'm also planning on taking a college course at Wilmington University in September! I haven't been in a classroom for many years. PLEASE keep this in your prayers.
-This is also the first fall season that I won't be teaching private music lessons. I "retired" in May and it is different not preparing for the upcoming school schedule. This transition is different for me as well.
-I continue to participate in my bi-weekly evening bible study and we have been a bit sporadic with the summer months, so I will share more about the discussion of the class. We're studying a study of Daniel, which is very good.
-I
-September brings a full load with classes beginning, 3 bible studies, volunteering, did I mention "THE WEDDING".

SO, though the above are things that I choose to do, I haven't been devoted to blogging as I should. Frankly, it is therapeutic for me (and I'm sure somewhat boring or lack of interest for you who read it). I find it hard to "find the time" to do some things just for me to benefit from. God is showing me that this is something that I need to do and I'm getting better at it, but it is still a learning process.

I haven't touched my quilting needle for weeks and scrapbooking, well, the closest the to scrapbooking that I have been able to do was working on a bulletin board last week while VBS was going on at church. I organized the registration for our VBS at church so when all the kids were registered I had time to get the campus bulletin board updated and used some of my scrapbooking techniques. I will get back to quilting and scrapbooking during the cooler months.

I'll blog again soon!!! It sure felt good sharing what has been going on. A little about "nothing". Wonder if I could do a TV show about nothing...worked for NBC for several years. LOL!!

Your life is full of wonderful things. Enjoy the busy days. We can't wait to hear, when you have the time. You are in my prayers as you begin classes. I cried for two days the first time I went back. Call me, I'll talk you out of quitting like someone did for me. You may be emotional, don't be surprized. Once you start, you'll be so glad you did.

It's so good to read about your family, what's going on, camp, etc. and listen to your music, too! I'm working on a quilt, too. Wish I had your expertise to assist me - don't really know what I'm doing!

We start school soon - preplanning next week, and students return on the 18th.

I've never been to the Outer Banks. You two have a great time, okay?!

Wedding!! I've really lost track. I'll have to go back and read your past posts to find out all about Megan and her guy! Enjoy and share hugs for me.
