Caves & books

Have you ever been to Mammoth Cave National Park? I had been in the park before with Gram and Grandpa, but had never had a chance to actually go in the caves. This past weekend a small group of us from my Sunday School class went and did a tour and then had a picnic. We had a great time! The best place to go hiking in the middle of the hot summer is in the caves where it is a nice steady 54 degrees! Coming out the door at the end was not so much fun.

What else have I been doing lately? Well, mostly hanging out with my friends and doing some serious reading. I've also begun work on a large sewing project that I have to have done by the end of August. I need to keep going on it or I'm going to get myself in a corner I don't want to be in. I've read "Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldredge and it was really good for me. Since finishing it a little over a week ago, I've also acquired the companion journal that they've done and I'm planning to go back through it using the journal to digest some of it more in depth and really work through some things that I just glossed over while just reading the book. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be doing it simultaneously as some friends, which I'm looking forward to as well. I'm also continuing with the "Forsyte Saga", and trying to get the National Geographics read before I have to deliver them to Mom and Dad in a couple weeks now.

I'm heading out west in just over a week to spend 10 days with Mom and Dad. I'm looking forward to getting away and to seeing them. Especially as it's the mountains I'm heading for! We are hoping to do some hiking, but it will depend partly on how Mom is doing. I'll be in both Park City, Utah and then a few days in Yellowstone! I get to add 3 new states for sure and maybe Montana as well, depending on what we decide to do.

Well, I guess that's about it for now. Need to get back to work. Hope all is well with you and yours, please drop me a comment or an email and let me know what's going on with you! Happy Wednesday!
