weekend get-a-way

So I agreed to trek off with 11 other chicks from KCC this weekend ... from what I could tell we all had a good time - even though, for a few of us, this was a very new and strange thing to be a part of. We met up with 300 other 'hens' from Ontario ... think we all managed to get home alive at the end of it - so that in itself is a blessing I figure!

 

 

The chicks from KCC started our weekend off by meeting up for lunch - what's a weekend get-a-way unless there's eating involved!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We got to JPCC in good time - so I figured it was a good plan to check out the area - while it was still 'light' out - so I took off running to see what I could find! 

 

 

 

 

Apparently, having fun was a requirement for this weekend! Good job I'm usually up for that ...

I took advantage of spending time outside, for the most part the rain held off - and my camera was even allowed to come out and play for a while!

It's nice to able to be planted in a such a setting where God is speaking (and I'm listening) just about every moment of the day ...

 

Keeping up with the 'party' theme we had a wee 'fiesta' on Saturday ... again ... fun times ...

Then came Sunday! It was time to get things moving apparently ... and of course, it was sad to see the weekend come to an end ...

enjoying it while I can

 

  

A good day to 'hear' God ... He's speaking folks ...

(and despite the 'sigh' above - it's NOT a trap ... He Loves Us!)

headin' back

the 'view' I had while flying back into K-town today ...

yup, not much to complain at this time of year when God splashes his creation with color - how can we help but praise Him!

learning and surprising

two totally unrelated things

While were out and about today - the 'others' felt it was time for a 'texting' lesson ... not sure if what I managed to 'enlighten' them with will amount to anything - guess we'll see how many texts I start getting!!

For the evening I made my way to the Kroeker's to 'babysit' ... well there's some truth there -but the real reason was to make sure a surprise party for Steven went off without a hitch - or at least any huge ones. As it turns out - it worked - Steven was surprised! From my 'view' on it all - I think everyone gathered had a great time ... it sure is nice to celebrate people's lives now-and-then ... and what they mean to each of us ... we're all different ... and we what we 'do' for each other is usually incomparable on many counts ... Thanks Steven for your witness ...
