Alice's family visits - really from August 3


Hopefully some of my wonderful family will add something to this blog - but I will quickly post a few pictures that I have. Thanks everyone for being such a team with all the challenges of group camping.
i was so busy that I only got my camera out right before everyone left, so there are many missing from these photos.

july 28th update

weddings, farewells, and a retreat

Colette and Darrin are getting married this weekend, so we will have some extra guests on the farm, and a slightly different schedule. There won’t be a community dinner this Friday, the 17th, but we will resume the next week. Everyone is invited to our Friday dinners, for a meal at 6 and prayer and/or discussion at 7pm. Please feel very welcome to come to both or only one part, and come even if you don’t have food to bring (did I mention we have a lot of vegetables?)
