Time’s Up

Our third week at Camp Kingswood has been completed and our group has scattered, to meet again sometime/someplace.  Becky returned to Iowa earlier this week, Kitty and John left Friday to see family in Illinois for awhile (after doing their 60^th project!), we left for the cabin Saturday morning, Cindy was planning to leave for Pennsylvania later in the day, while Dan and Joy have a service appointment for Monday so they are staying for the weekend (enjoying the lake and the quiet).  One of the bright spots of doing Nomads projects is meeting many new people and this project, again, succeeded.  We had worked with John and Kitty in Buckeye, AZ last January, but the others were all new to us.

Our social activities this past week included a lunch cruise of Lake Minnetonka, a group dinner at Pizza Ranch, and an evening of theater at “Church Basement Ladies”. Thursday afternoon our Nomads group left the camp to join a group from the local church to put in a shift at Feed My Starving Children. We packed almost 2,000 meals that afternoon.

Brett and Jen have their 12th anniversary this weekend, so we brought their girls home with us for an overnighter on Friday night. David and Valentina came out to have dinner with us as well. The girls enjoyed swimming in the lake. We had a barbecue supper and a campfire. 

We brought the girls home Saturday afternoon (after a stop at Home Depot to make small bulletin boards), and returned to the cabin north of Duluth. 

We have a lot of storm cleanup and lawn mowing to do, as well as finishing some trim that we had started a month ago.
