Group News:
I'm just now drawing up the design and rules for our next adventure. Watch this site and your email for updates. In August there will be more announcements, surprises, and clues. Can't wait to get started ... but for now, enjoy the summer ... because winter is a coming! Get out and garden, put some provisions away for the cool months. Learn a new 'old' homemaking skill to help ease the budget during these economic hard times such as mending, darning, baking bread, thinking about where your food comes from. Stretch your dollars and save for a rainy day. Even in this shaky economy, give thanks to our Heavenly Father. Keep each other continually lifted up in prayer.
Hugs,
P.S. I'm working on getting copies of the Scarf's Journal entries to you. They are all worth savoring.

Wow! What a journey she has been on. Lots of fun! Can't wait for my copy of the journal and to hear about our next project.
I should live such a well traveled life as Scarf has! Boy what an adventure! I do feel so blessed to be a "sister" and have enjoyed each arrival and departure the scarf made.
As far as FIVE Michigan stops....GO MICHIGAN!
Good thing I wasn't wearing that apron when SCARF went with us to pick out our Christmas tree!

Dear Mrs. Mac,
I'll be looking forwards to embarking on a new round trip with the sisters.
As you say; we shared so much on that short|time. More than most people do for years.
My world and my understanding of others sure have been broadened.
I guess we belong to different churches; yet we are one in Christ.
Isn't that marvelous?
We are our own multilateral peace corps.
Yeah.
What good project you have been inspired to start.
From Felisol
I can't wait until we embark on a new adventure. It has been a joy sharing your lives! And as sister Felisol said, "we are one in Christ"...that's the best part. For one day we'll take our final journey together and meet on Heaven's shores! Won't that be wonderful?
