R.I.P. Sherill!
This morning I was taking a shower and had just wrapped a towel around myself when Fred walked in with the phone and told me there was an important phone call for me. I took the phone and a man said, “Hello, Denise! I’m Officer Seigler from the King City Police. I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but your sister died this morning.” When I hung up, I told Fred and he burst into tears. The whole family met at the rehab center and sat with Sherill’s body until the undertaker came to take her away. We were all in shock. It has been a rough day, but I want to dedicate the rest of this post to Sherill’s memory. Continue reading

Camp Zion
The newest neighbors on my block are Christians, and the husband, Matthew, works at Camp Zion. I’ve been talking with his wife, Hannah, about it and had a desire to see it myself, thinking perhaps the kids at my church would like to go to camp there. Today I called Dale and Carol, the managers of the camp to ask if I could come, get a tour, and take pictures and they said yes. I brought Tucson thinking I’d leave her in the truck while I looked around, but they welcomed her as well. Continue reading
Weekend doings
I was too exhausted to write last night, so I’m covering Saturday and Sunday. The reason I was exhausted was because I was acting like a pioneer woman or a farmer’s wife. Continue reading
