The women's retreat came and went with a blink of the eye at beautiful Camp Lebanon in Upsula, Minnesota where two hundred women gathered to meet with God. The weather was beautiful and it was nice to spend time with Angie. During our free time, Angie and I went for a pontoon ride and learned everything we ever wanted to know about Lake Cedar. We all had a few good laughs during the cake decorating class and tasted enough frosting to make us almost sick. Susie Larson author/speaker shared with us her enthusiasm,humor,and conviction for the Lord. She reminded us to trust God to carry the world on His shoulders, be humbly grateful for the call on our life and entrust others to Him as well.
The week before the retreat Carol and I spent a few days at my Aunt Carol's visiting, shopping and antiqueing. Angie came out a couple of times so we were able to spend some time with her and Abram. Abram is quite the baby and keeps everyone laughing. On Tuesday, we had a great visit with my sister-in-law Rose in Wilmar. We had lunch at the Blue Heron on the golf course, my aunt Carol rode with us and aunt Shirley met us there also.
The Extreme Makeover Home Edition was quite an experience for Albert Lea. An absolutely beautiful home was built for a family of 5 in six days. I was able to work on the home during one of the first days and watch all the footings, rerod, cement and walls being put up. It was very interesting to watch these first steps being done to this home. I am so glad to have been part of this!
