My Mom got up this morning and, after church was cancelled in Beals, Jonesport, and Ellsworth, Maine, decided to put her new treadmill together. She whispered to my nephew Brevan, "Hey, I've got a job to do. I'm going to go put my new treadmill together with all my tools." To which he loudly exclaimed, "I want to help you!!!", jumped from her lap and began running circles on the living room rug, deliriously excited with this new adventure. He's quite a builder!
45 minutes later, with the treadmill pieces spread all across MY bed and bedroom floor, Brevan is screaming with glee in the living room in his brand new boat. A true "You know your a Downeaster if..." moment. My first pictures are now posted. I think you'll enjoy!
So, I've decided to take a new tack on my blog. I've heard that a number of people are wondering what I'm doing. I always answer... attempting to catch and cast a vision for an AWESOME youth program. I'm 4 months in with a lot to learn. I'm open to a lot of advice... not much seems to be coming my way. Come on people... perhaps your family is different than mine. We don't hesitate to share our opinions. =] Let's hear 'em. What do you suggest for how we approach our youth? Camps? Retreats? Groups? etc...
So, back to my new tack... I'm going to try to post once a week simply stating what I'm up to. Shorter posts. Funny stories. Questions looking for opinions. ANSWER people!!!! =]
First question, do you want me to send you e-mail updates when I post? Either respond here or just to my e-mail account. I figure, it keeps us connected a bit more. What do you think?
Second question, do you have any suggestions for people interested in helping with summer camp this year? A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION!
Peace and Hope and Stay out of the storm! Enjoy the pics of my crazy nephew!
Trish
