Not so Quiet

When life gets busy, things often go quiet here. This summer has been one of those.  Justin’s father became ill, then a bit better, then worse, then passed away.  That is difficult in quite a few ways, as anyone who has lost both their parents would know.

Katie has been volunteering most of the summer at a day camp that moves around from place to place.

Gabby went to AHG camp.

The brakes needed replacing, but then required an extra part, which we had to wait for as the order came in.

Gabby had been working to earn money as she works on her Money Management badge.  Her biggest chore has been staining the back deck.  She feels betrayed by how orange the stain is—it was a brown-red on the can.

Our final swimmer earned her swim band this year.

Nate got to go swimming and tubing with Trail Life buddies.

Our AHG troop trailer was stolen with all our camping gear inside.

We traveled to Ohio several times, laying his father to rest on one of those.
