The 4th

Spirits are SKY HIGH this morning.

There is a steady breeze from the North, humidity is low, temperatures will max out at 80 degrees, and not a cloud in the sky. Everyone is wearing red white and blue as we stroll through this perfect summer day. I do not think we have ever had a more perfect day to enjoy camp.

The weather is the smallest part of the “feel good” equation… the real ingredients arise from the days that have passed to this point. As we settle into camp the good things that surround us are finally appreciated to their full extent. A good conversation is celebrated in the moment it occurs. A good class brings a satisfying lift to the heart. A good meal causes a wave of chatter and applause from the packed dining hall. A good EP announcement brings a loud murmur of glee as the girls anticipate what it will mean to do that fun activity.

Add it all up and you get a full heart. Abundant and overflowing.

I am late with the update today… and there is nothing wrong with being concise on such a great holiday, so here goes.

• Sleep Late Friday… again celebrated today. We needed the rest after the great EP last night.
• TBT EP A HIT… it was a stunning night. Absolutely perfect, watch the video (when it is published) and you will see.
• Fourth Of July… big deal holiday at camp. Carnival and fireworks tonight, promise to be the best ever (can’t wait to see the fireworks under the bright crescent moon).
• Carnival Food… Funnel Cake, Hawaii Shave Ice, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn, Cotton Candy, Cookie Decorating (you get the picture).
• T-Shirt… we are giving out Carnival T-shirts that will be a huge hit. They are “Comfort Colors” brand shirts. This was the biggest suggestion from the campers last year, to give them this brand of shirt. They are high quality and a lovely washed teal color, classy design, sure to be a hit. Check them out!

I am going to do a separate blog on a new rental house opportunity. This is a house we renovated this year, it is really nice if you are interested in a vacation in Tuxedo (come when camp is not in session and have use of our facilities if a group is not here).

Have a GREAT DAY
