See You Later;-)

To avoid Erica posting for me again I thought I'd do a last post before we're off to our dream vacation out east, we're going to DC, New Jersey and my cousin's wedding. We're planning on taking lots of pictures so when I get back I'll post them with all the pictures from camp I STILL haven't gotten around to sharing with you all. Just for fun I'll post my favorite one right now as a parting gift to you all. I might be able to be on some while we're gone, we'll see.



Wish us well!



Lydia



P.S. Here's Joe in line on hamburger day. I just love him to pieces!

It's late and I'm tired, but...

Everybody is doing these things so I oughta too I guess. Yes I know, "If all your friends jumped of a cliff would you????" Well no, but this won't hurt. I would rather REAL hugs, not cyber ones, they're kinda cold and impersonal if you think about it....



*HUGS* TOTAL!give LydiaMargie more *HUGS*
Get hugs of your own



Cheerio,

Lydia

Lydia Margaret is at Camp....

...and most of her readers are too. But there are a few that aren't, so I'm updating for her for their benefit. Lydia was at my house for a week at the beginning of July, and here are some pictures from then:

First, a couple of buddy-buddy pictures. We always get buddy-buddy pictures taken when Lydia comes to my (Erica's) house

And our awesome older sisters:

Audrey and Debbie...

Rachel and Susie

One afternoon Lydia (and her sisters) had to help us unload 60-pound hay bales off of the hay rack into the barn. Here she and Merrill enjoy the feel of the wind rushing past at forty miles an hour, after they finished working.

Most of our hard-working, hay-unloading crew. Debbie, Merrill, Audrey, and Lydia.

On Tuesday night the Woodwarth Dramatic Society performed Sense & Sensibility. Bits and pieces from it, at least. Aunt Alice got lots of good pictures, and here are two of Lydia playing two of her parts:

Fanny Dashwood on the left and Lucy Steele on the right, discussing Lucy's chance of marriage.

Marianne Dashwood (left) takes a quick break to laugh at Lady Jennings with Lady Jennings.

I'm sure Lydia is having a wonderful time at camp, and I'm just having a jolly good time here updating her blog!

Erica

It's a good thing we moved...

According to http://www.dumblaws.com/, in Iowa "A man with a moustache may never kiss a woman in public." That's a law, really. Also "Kisses may last for no more than five minutes." Well, YEAH! They gotta breathe sometime I suppose...

Iowa is pretty bad with the odd laws, Wisconsin has some too, but they're all very, hmmmmm... Wisconsinish. Like "While all cheese making requires a license, Limburger cheese making requires a master cheese maker's license." We must be pretty serious with our cheese, we also have a state law that "made it illegal to serve apple pie in public restaurants without cheese."

Sure...

Well we're off to camp, so I'll be gone for a fun filled week!!

*DISCLAIMER*

Just so everyone knows, I'm safe and sound, no I wasn't tied up, gaged and put in a closet-Correction: I wasn't FORCED to be tied and gagged, I actually was, just by free-will and my own hand.

I figured I'd better up date before Erica hacked in again and posted for me. (Well I guess it wouldn't be much of a hack, considering I told her my password.)

I actually don't have much to write about, Erica posted pictures of a lot of my doing of the last week and a half. Now for the rest of the week I'm going to unpack, wash all my clothes and re pack for camp and work at CK. Then Sunday starts another week of vacation at camp. I did two weeks of Drivers Education at the High School in the middle of July, I still have a week I'm making up for at the end of July, so that will happen the week after camp.

Many of you might know my dream job is to be a Librarian, and for the last year I've been volunteering at the local library for the past year. I've always wanted to work there, but had never said much about it, about a month ago, out of the blue, the librarian director OFFERED me a job position that was going to be created! I was truly blessed that the lord worked it all out with me sticking my big mouth in to it. Due to various reasons it was 3 weeks before I got my application in. Because it's a city library I had to go through city hall and fill out a background check etc. It was about a million papers. Can you imagine??? ME a background check. When I filled it out I was reading all the things 'have you ever done this this or this?' (I didn't even know what most of them meant) and Mom looked over my shoulder and said "Oh just check NO on all of them. I know you haven't done anything." After I submitted the application (with much fear and trembling) I had to wait for almost 2 agonizing long weeks. To make a long story short when we returned home from Illinois Sunday night there was a message on the machine, I got the job!!!

Like I said before, God is SO good to me and I am very blessed to get a job I love and would like to do for a long time. He is an AWESOME God!

A Note from the Prisoner--and her Captor

It's about time Lydia updated her blog! So I'm doing it for her, 'cause, uhh...well, she's unavailable right now. Just sec, Lyds is trying to say something. I guess I'll take her gag off just long enough to hear her. She says "UNTIE ME!!!!!! RIGHT NOW!!!" Well, I can't hear her anymore, because I put the gag back on and stuck her in my closet. We've been having a lot of fun, but she finally got so much on my nerves that I had to do something. I hope her sisters don't mind too much. Actually, they'll probably thank me.

Lydia says Adios! from my closet!
