Gabes came for a quick weekend. Here's my one and only picture of that wonderful time. Gwen and Benny are entirely mesmerized by Elv's unconventional method of story telling. Yes! The sidewalk is in!

Just a bit of scrap booking here for the record. We were here and did this: sewing and firewood. That's all.At the end of the week the church youth came up for a day of hiking. Ha! It rained! So after our shortened hike, we hunted for The Prince of Paris's Hat who had lost… Continue reading Cabin Life
