Crochet Me Crazy

Well, I haven't made any more progress on my afghan since my last post and I failed to take a picture too. It was a little bit busy over this holiday weekend. We worked on Saturday at the stables but it wasn't a busy day. We've had a lot of rain over the past week and the river flooded so everyone is preoccupied with the river right now. It's great! The river flooded and then we got 2 more inches the next day. We tried to go to church on Sunday but ended up turning around and coming back home because the weather was just too bad. We had Serenity spend the night Saturday and Sunday night and then on Sunday, Alison's other friend Phoebe came to spend the night too. They were buzzing around here and I was runing them around to the river and stuff. The rest of the weekend of rides got rained out because it was too muddy. I believe we're going to get even more rain later on in the week! It's an answer to prayer for us here!

Alison and Phoebe have decided they want to try to raise the money to go on the youth "road trip' this summer. It costs $400 a kid though. They are going to have bake sales and car washes to raise the money. I donated a whole bunch of crocheted items to the cause. Phoebe's parents own a coffee shop / gift shop in town and I told them they could sell the stuff and put the proceeds toward the trip. If they sell it all, they'll make over $200. Alison was working on making a sign for their table tonight. This is a big deal for her to go to something like this. She's never been to camp or anything like that. I think it will be good for Alison to go but she won't go without Phoebe. She has NEVER been away from us for more than a couple of nights in her whole life and never without being with family. The entire time will be complete TORTURE for me. I miss Alison so much when she's not here. The group is heading to Kentucky to the go to the Creation Museum. On they way, they stop and do other fun things like go to Mammoth Cave, go to a lazer tag park and other things. They will be staying at churches along the way.

My little girl is about to get her driver's permit. She is ready to take her test. We are just trying to gather up all the documents that we are required to have for her to get her license. Soon...very soon.
