Who is wise and he shall understand these things? Prudent and he shall know them, for the ways of the Lord are right and the just shall walk in them but the transgressors shall fall therein.” Hosea 14:9.

Once again I got to help at Camp Piland this past two weeks in the kitchen. Ermia Miller was the cook. The first week there was a virus going around so there was a lot of sick people the first night and some went home. There were three people that didn’t get it. They were Sandy Walker, Michael Gooley and Erma. This past week was a lot better.
We got a much needed rain Friday morning. Most hay fields are cut and the hay put up.
Have a safe weekend. Remember, freedom isn’t free. If you notice the month of July has five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays. I understand this happens once every 823 years.
Happy Birthday to my niece, Shawn Baugher on the 3rd.
I bought an old tool a few weeks ago at a yard sale not knowing what it was for. Gary said it was for cutting steel. I couldn’t find anything about it on the web because there is a music group called Mekanik.
What is the flock of pink flamingos about that I see in Ava? Why are they being flocked?
