Gearing up for the weekend

I think this is going to feel like a marathon week. This coming weekend my family will be going to Camp Andrews for our annual get-together there. This will be a special weekend, because a year ago at Camp Andrews was the last time we were with my oldest sister Janet. She died in her sleep three weeks later. All 8 of us siblings were there that weekend, from all over the country. This year 6 of us will be there (Barb from Idaho can't make it this year, and Janet is in heaven). And my dear dad and step mother will be there, along with some of our children and grandchildren - between 30 and 40 people altogether.

So this week, in addition to my regular schedule, I need to prepare a lot of food for the weekend and prepare our youth worship team to lead worship without me on Sunday. I think my regular three days at the gym after school will be cut down to one day - if I'm lucky.

Yesterday Enid picked Destiny up after school and had her for the evening. I did my grocery shopping at last, and also went to a Roland workshop held at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church. It was put on by Reifsnyders Piano and Organs, where I purchased the Roland digital piano for the school. Now I can hardly wait to get to school today, because I understand some things my piano can do, and I'm eager to try them.

Dick always plays basketball at the Lititz rec center on Monday evenings. He's been doing that for over 10 years. This year the attendance is low, for whatever reason. Often only 7 - 9 guys show up. They used to have enough guys for 4 teams, plus subs.
