No Preaching

Just the facts in this one… and a couple observations.

Fact: The weather is DELIGHTFUL. High of 82 degrees today, blue sky, no afternoon showers, light breeze, etc., etc. Weather matters at camp. When it is cold, everywhere is cold. When it is hot, everywhere is hot. It is all good, but weather like this is especially good. Smiles on every face in camp this morning. Our Spirits Soar!

Fact: EP tonight is the Decade Dance. Getting ready is half the fun; kind of a costume dance party held outside on the tennis court. It is a great chance to get crazy pictures with our friends and dance some 700 person group dances. Good Fun!

Fact: Metal Jewelry is an awesome class. Marilyn Bailey is a local artist who personally teaches every girl who takes this class. She is amazing. Every time she entered design contests, she is a finalist or wins, the last time was in 2009. Check her out… I took some pictures today but my flash went dead so they lack the pop the subject matter demanded. The girls are making Stirling Silver jewelry, it is stunning. To see how engaged the girls are in the process is an inspiration. (<a href=‘http://www.saulbellaward.com/SBDAWinners.aspx?year=SBDA2009)

Fact: Cooking is my favorite class. Making pizza’s today, it was a soul satisfying experience to see so many girls (about 20) all cooking at the same time. Newly renovated with about $100,000 of improvements and equipment… White Hall is a jaw dropping facility.

Fact: Arts at camp are not just lanyards and friendship bracelets. The Art Center takes hours to tour… so much going on and so much good artwork being created.

OK… Lunch is starting and I am not there. Will update later.
