Fish Down!!!

Hi! Since it has been a little while since I last posted, I will post some highlights and lowlights from the last couple weeks (otherwise, this would be a LONG post).

We'll start with the 4th of July weekend:
highlight: I got to spend some time with just my mother. We played five games of Scrabble (five only because we each won two games and had a tiebreaker which I won by a narrow margin). The rest of the family came Saturday.
lowlight: Mom and I drove into town on the 4th to watch the fireworks live at the beach. NO ONE was there. Okay, we were there, but we were the only ones there. We went back to the cabin and watched the fireworks on tv (the ones at Ft Vancouver).
highlight: Dad, my niece and I went on a boat ride. lowlight: the engine kept stuttering and dying on us on the river about a dozen times. highlight: we made it back to the dock safely.

Last weekend:
highlight: I went camping with my church group at Oxbow Park. It was such a blast! It had been a long time since I went camping, and I want to go again. The reason of my post title is that I had sat down, eating some snacks (which had some goldfish crackers in it), I accidently threw one on the ground...there ya have it...fish down!
highlight: my Mexico team report was that Sat night. It went well, although I was looking forward to doing our skit but not everyone was there and we were missing some of the props. It was good to see the teammates again! I hope to keep in touch with everyone.
highlight: I learned how to play a new game, which I hope to find at a store and buy it. I enjoyed the fellowship that was had the whole weekend and roasting smores.
highlight: I got the chance to go sailing with my brother and sister-in-law Sunday late afternoon/evening. I did not know we were going sailing, just having a barbecue. It was quite the experience!! The scenery was beautiful and the weather was perfect for sailing. Oh, and I saw a not-so-alive fish on top of the river as we sailed by.

Work is work. We got through month-end and payroll.

Thursday night I got to spend time with Care at her house. We grabbed a bite to eat and watched some tv and played a game. Today also I got to spend more time with her after lunch. We did a little bit of shopping and fellowship. We went to hear the Serbia team report during second service which was neat to hear how God worked among our team and the Serb-Christians there.

"I call to rememberance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, and my spirit makes diligent search." Psalm 77:6 NKJV
