Indian Beads!
The bugles had quite a work out. Lucy perhaps should take French horn lessons for she could actually get good sound from the bugle. Obadiah could not, however he had the entire mouthpiece in his mouth so would have had to blow from his tonsils to make a sound.
Enjoying an apple snack.
Lucy demonstrating for Grandma the correct mouth position for bugle blowing or kissing she said! Looks a lot like Capital H (the goldfish) in this picture.
The second picture I took this morning and it is a little dark. We had 4 dead pine trees taken down this past week. The smaller two are visible in the top picture, one leaning toward the lake and one leaning toward the house. The other two were big ones still standing straight but dead, dead, dead. 
Once Carla and I were through visiting downstairs we came upstairs to find nearly the entire church family visiting on the front lawn and steps of the church. Emma and Joel were enjoying the front wall and the wonderful sunshine.
Some of the youngsters were visiting in the shade of the big maple tree.
The men were discussing the upcoming roofing party at the parsonage that begins at 7am on Friday. As you can see you don't have to live south of the Mason Dixon line to wear shorts to church!
Lucy was determined. She had a couple of good solid hits while I was on the pitcher's mound. Such a cutie!
Blurry but a good swing. Excellent follow through. She is a natural.
I meant to post this picture earlier. Isaiah was bringing Joel rocks.
Joel and the prophets. . .one major. . .one minor.
Now to make room on the frig for this art work. Thank you, Bowden! 
Swiped photo from Josh's blog. View north from our beach. Thank you, Josh.
Flo and Walt Skantze: They have a little cabin across the road from the Tabernacle and they have DSL with a wireless router in their little home. They allow it to be open access and so Camp Washington had internet access available to anyone with wireless capability. It was great. Thank you Walt and Flo! I'm sure your connection is more speedy now that we have all packed up and headed home. 
This is the strawberry rhubarb pie fairy! Janice Heanssler has been a wonderful friend over the years along with the rest of her family. Husband, Donn, was so busy repairing toilets and water line issues that he escaped my camera. 
This year this play equipment had been donated for the little people that come to Camp Washington. Previously the only thing for the kids to play on was the huge memorial rock. There were children on this equipment pretty much non stop from dawn until dark. . .except for when I took the picture.
All week long people were doing work on their cottages. This cottage is right beside the Orne cottage that we had always been in before this year. It is amazing what a coat of paint can do!
Sad to pull out and say goodbye. We were blessed with another wonderful week at Camp Washington.
The tree size bush behind us is a hydrangea! I have never seen such a big one! Notice how beautifully color coordinated we are. . .a bird of paradise has nothing on us!!!
Our cabin has a refrigerator and stove. We found the rhubarb pie fairy had been by and left the lovely strawberry rhubarb pie you see pictured below. Suffice it to say the pie does not look like this now!!!!! Delicious!
Some shots of our cabin. Dad's studies are going well and he seems to be feeling well. John's evening messages have been absolutely wonderful. I wish you all could be hearing them.
More from Camp Washington later. John, Barry and I are going to Augusta for a while this afternoon. Greetings to all. 
One last bite. Uhmmmmm!
