Our Vacation

Well, we are back from our long vacation at Camp of the Woods in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. We had a wonderful time! No TV, no computers, long conversations by the campfire, time to meander in nature, no dishes, and no errands were just what we all needed. We ate a lot, exercised a lot (because we ate a lot!), laughed a lot, relaxed a lot, and had a blast!!!

It's funny, I'm not really a camp type person but there is just something special about Camp of the Woods. While I was there, I went ahead and asked the Lord if my home in Heaven could be set in a scene like Camp of the Woods. As a matter of fact, I also asked if my friend Kim Mather could decorate it for me in her signature Adirondack, rustic style. I just love her house!!! If I can get her to send me some pictures, I'll post them on my blog. You will love it too!

Her husband makes Adirondack type furniture. He literally goes out in the woods, cuts the trees that he needs, goes into his basement and returns with amazing furniture. He has made almost everything in Kim's house. So, last year, I ordered two end tables for my den and picked them up this year. Here is a photo of one of them:

Camp has asked my husband and I to do our marriage conference series at Camp again next year. So, if you are looking for a great vacation for your family where you can make a good investment in your marriage and have a wonderful time with your kids, I would encourage you to consider Camp of the Woods. We'll be there Aug. 2-9th, 2008. For more information, you can log on to http://www.camp-of-the-woods.org/
I hope to see you there!
