don't miss itWhatcha doin' this Saturday (June 26, 2010) from oh, say 10 am and 3 pm?

What was that?  What would I suggest?  Well, I'm glad you asked!

I say head on over to Riverbend Ranch Charity Carnival!

For the past few years the really cool Kjeldgaard family has put on a charity carnival. Last year our family was able to attend.  Super neat good ol' fashion family fun.  The atmosphere is great at their ranch but what's really wonderful is why they do it.

This Saturday the charity is Drawn From Water.  Lisa
Kjeldgaard told me about this ministry earlier this year and I think it is awesome.  They "  . . . are passionate about rescuing and providing for tribal children in Africa who are facing culturally mandated infanticide."

If you live within a few hours of Oakdale, CA I strongly encourage you to head over to the Riverbend Ranch Charity Carnival. 

If you aren't close enough or cannot go don't feel like you have to completely miss out on the fun!  They have raffle prizes available, too. So head on over whether in reality or virtually.

NEWSFLASH!  This just in:  Thursday, June 24th from 9 am to 9 pm they are having a 12 hour sale on pre-purchased carnival tickets.

- it's blahg!  mb

We're heading out to go camping with our eldest.  We're praying for a fun time and great memories.  Also, my greek god and I have injured backs (this morning we weren't even sure we'd get to go but we've got some movement so we're goin' for it) so that's going to be interesting.

passing the baton
Written by Mary Beth

Yesterday a passing of the baton from one generation to the next took place.  Her five children now carry the baton.  A very large family, begun by two people many a year ago, gathered as Dan's Grandma Neff was buried and remembered.  Her children, many grandchildren, great grandchildren (the great-great-grandchildren did not attend) along with spouses of said offspring along with friends took time out of the rat race of society to reflect upon a woman who was very dear to many.  I think her most important role was one she and her late husband (Grandpa Neff) played together by leaving a christian heritage. One I hope will continue through further generations.  I pray that the hope of being in the presence of Jesus Christ will be one carried by all.
