Sunset Sunday at Labenne, France Posted by Hello

Cinderella and Prayer

Today was a day to pray and listen to God.  The day went smoothly and I am nice and tired this evening as a result.  I think God gave me the peace I asked for in regards to my hurricane thinking. 

I also cleaned and scrubbed a bit; a last ditch effort to ready the house for the return of the family tomorrow and their guests this week.  I took some time out today to read the story of Cinderella in French.  Yes, even young adult women still dream.

Mountains

I took three of the children to see their grandparents in the Pyrenee mountains.  Mountain roads in a 9 passenger van are quite a ride.  We enjoyed the time of hiking around seeing the sights and eating good food for 3 days.  bummer I don't have my camera with me to post a few shots.  We returned to Bayonne on Thursday to welcome Bernard and Evangeline home from their vacation.  Now I'm back at cleaning and cooking and trying to find time to straighten out the Surfer Bible and Conference in Hossegor.    Thanks for your prayers.

no i'm not dead

just a quick word to tell you that i am alive and kicking. i'm located in the southwest of France at Maison Puyo east of Bayonne and north of the L'Adour river by about 10 minutes in a car.

i'm taking care of a few children while the parents are 'getting away' to celebrate their 20 years of marriage. this weekend a few extra gals are over hanging out to learn about God together. Tomorrow i will share about who we are in Christ in a short devotional.

I took Tabitha (# 2 of 7 children) to the dentist in Biarritz. We took the 9 passenger van, parked downtown and hung out on the beach to eat our sandwiches. Imagine- 2 young gals in a huge van downtown 'tourismville' who get lost trying to get out of town.

In the past 6 days, I have driven 4 different vehicles: the camionette/van, a small car with no brakes (repaired the day after), a tiny car that i bombed around in the pays basque to take the boys to get their shots, and a Mercedes which we cruised up to Seignosse (near Hossegor) in.

Hope your vacation is going well.
