Good-bye June

I'm missing June (as in the month of June)....can't believe it's July already. Heading to Chena Lakes tomorrow for picnic and beach time. Hoping for sunshine!!

Some of June's Highlights:
  • The trusses were up on the Martinson house the last day of June. The roof should be finished tomorrow!! It's fun to see how quickly their house is taking shape.
  • We celebrated my Dad's 90th birthday with him. He enjoyed all those who dropped by to wish him a Happy Birthday and he received so many birthday cards and birthday wishes. I too enjoyed all the "memories" people shared with him.
  • Charles Lamb, one of the boys from the Orphanage in Cleveland, TN, stopped by. What a great surprise!!! I haven't seen him in over 40 years. He and his wife are visiting Alaska and I'm so happy they looked us up. It was great to reminisce and "catch up". God bless them and protect them as they continue their travels through Alaska.
  • Noel Cammack, one of my former piano students, visited and spoke last Sunday at LifePoint. He is still serving (7 years now) in Ireland as Worship and Youth Leader. He shared a video and slides of the work there in Port Laoise. I was blessed to hear his testimony and hear his heart for God. I think a seed to visit Ireland has been planted in my spirit. His parents were there as well and we appreciate their friendship and ministry so much.
  • Things are going fine in the Welch/Covey/Martinson household. It seems we never catch up with the laundry, washing dishes, cooking meals, buying groceries and cleaning house, but that's our new normal.
  • I have only one piano student this summer, which is working out just fine.
  • I'm loving my window in the garage (our temporary bedroom). What a difference a 2x2 opening makes. I can now see outside, feel the breeze, see the trees, see the sunshine, hear the chimes and the rain. It makes me realize how important the simple things in life really are. Over the past month we've had to replace our microwave, a lamp in the living room, and our crock pot. If I could only have had one of those items, I would have choosen the window!!!!!
  • Good-bye June, hello July!
