Our Weekly Snapshot
Here’s a look back at our week:
We picked Nate up from Staff Training on Saturday morning. He had a great time!Josh snd Nate are at Worship Camp this week. Josh is attending as a camper but is also volunteering as a drum instructor. Nate is enjoying the week as a camper.
We’ve had lots of rain, storms, and hail this week. I was sitting in my vehicle on Tuesday and caught this rainbow as the hail fell all around.
Look who showed up at the Hospital gift shop WITH a coffee from Sozos! Ken and Kel arrived at my moms on Wednesday evening. My mom knew Ken was coming but Kel was a surprise!
Fun all week at Worship Camp.

As I mentioned last week, my brother Ken will be here around this time (not sure of the exact dates yet). So, I will plan my menu with knowing that some days we will be at my mom's enjoying time with Ken.
Here's the plan
Friday (6/19) - The boys have a Worship concert tonight so they eat at camp. Darryl and I will grab something.
Saturday (6/20) - this is up in the air as everyone is going different directions; I’m not sure when or where we will all land by dinner!
Sunday (6/21) - It's Father's Day! And my brother will be here! So maybe we can do steaks on the grill or something on the grill.
Monday (6/22) - I know we will eat at home as I have choir practice. Zuppa Soup and bread is the plan
Tuesday (6/23) - Josh and Nate have Bible Study so I’m not sure on dinner - maybe the adults will eat together🤷♀️
Wednesday (6/24) - my freezer and cupboards are full so I’ll pick based in plans and who is home!
Thursday (6/25) - Dinner at my mom’s with Ken before he heads out on Friday.

This next week Josh and Nate will be gone during the day at Worship Camp. They really enjoy this week of creating music with friends; it is a little hard to fathom that this is Josh's last year as a camper. It is the first of the "last" things for him as he is now a Senior!
Here's the plan:
Friday (6/12) - Amish Chicken, mashed potatoes and roasted veggies
Saturday (6/13) - We have to pick Nate up from a week of camp, attend an Open House for Lunch plus some running in the afternoon for Josh as he has a staff meeting for camp. Dinner - I’m leaning towards tacos because it’s easy!
Sunday (6/14) - We are heading to my in-laws for the day.
Monday (6/15) - Chick-Fa-Lay Nuggets (homemade) and Fries
Tuesday (6/16) - I “think” it’s just Darryl and I as the boys have Bible Study after worship camp. So we might grab something easy.
Wednesday (6/17) - Slow Cooker Zuppa and Bread
Thursday - 6/18) - Pork loin and fried rice
A side note - my brother, Ken, is coming up for a visit some time around now - I just don't have exact dates so this menu may change!
