A memorable season of life

These last two months are going to be quite memorable for the Walker family. In addition to the very great loss of David, Jef's mom's memorial service was the first of May, and then we had another dear friend who died last week. Caroline and I have had a trip to NYC (like Larry and Taylor!) But we also had a special week of Michael's graduation from Reformed Seminary and having his parents in town. I also had the fun of Brenda, my high school BFF bringing a friend and coming to spend the weekend with me.

Last week was Vacation Bible School (15 kindergarteners) and putting together the reception for my friend's funeral. That was a first for me, but I was quite excited about how well it went and ready to help with other receptions as needed. A good friend of mine pulled out all of her mom's pretty glass platters and we were able to make it look quite elegant.

We are leaving Sunday morning to go camping for a week with Joel's old Boy Scout troop at Oconee State Park in SC. This is actually luxury camping in our pop-up and we are just helping the 5 leaders with 9 boys (two of us wives are just coming along for the ride and relaxation). Joel is keeping the homefront and Caroline is leaving for high school camp at Covenant College on Thursday. Life is good.
