The Simple Scents of Life

I am so sorry that I've not given you an update! Please don't give up on me, Caleb! I really do have a good excuse...

Right after I arrived home from Virginia, my family left for New Mexico to attend a family conference that my parents were speaking at. After the two day trip up there, we spent several days at a camping site...With no internet connection (See Caleb...isn't that a good one?). It was on a beautiful campus, with lakes, mountains and hiking areas. James, Christa, Jessica and Caleb went horse-back riding a couple of times, and we had games of putt-putt, volley-ball, soft-ball and dodge ball. Dad and I went boating with some of the little girls, we celebrated the graduation of a good friend of ours, and also celebrated my Mother's birthday while we were there.

After the evening sessions, some of the young people decided to do some historic ball room dances. Word crept out that we were doing this, and before we knew it, there were a bunch of people ready to learn. We stayed up until 11:00, and if we didn't have to get up early to make it to breakfast, we probably would have done more. We had a great time and are eagerly looking forward to next year.

Unfortunately, my camera died early the first day, so I don't have any photos to share with you. :( A friend of mine took some though, so I might try to see what I can get from him. If I don't have any success, I'll give you the link that the coordinators are putting up...as soon as they get it up. :)
