Lemon Pie !!!

I just made a lemon pie and it is GOOD!! I usually don't bake much but we got a convection oven in our new m.h. Also made a German Chocolate cake but I do not have a picture of that... Carole

Think Spring!!!

No... This is not where we are at but just wanted to share this lovely picture with you so you could think SPRING!!! There are mts. and hills here in central Tn. but not any with snow on them. Quite an evening spent with a Sue WhiteCotton.. Lives up on the top of the mt. and the lovely meal she fixed us, entertained us with her guitar and singing, stories she told us and ended up giving us 4 ladies each a small quilt... Just met her this week... Their church had the Sale and raised over $4,000. to send kids to this camp.. They plan to send 32 kids... Half way through with this project.. probably more laundry tomorrow... God's Best to You and Yours..Carole

Our Work Project in Tn.

Hi
Wow! What a week and week-end. We worked hard at the camp getting ready for a HUGE sale to benefit the camp kids. The Presbyterian Church in town was having a sale to send kids to this camp so we went in to help them set it up and work on it on our time off.... I have also been in charge of the Laundry room and have washed hundreds of sheets and towels and kids clothes ... 75 girls swimsuits and 49 boys suits!!!! They have 2 pools here and the kids love it but most do not have suits when they come... One kid even brought an empty suitcase to camp as she did not have any other clothes to bring... We had BAD weather on Th. and Fri. RAIN and Tornadoes... Drove 150 miles to our daughter Kathi's over the week-end and a tornado hit just north of town only 20 minutes after we had been in that area. Tim painted a bedroom for her, we babysit 5 kids, went to the park for a picnic ( Little Caesar's ) had strawberry short cake ( Strawberries are 1.00@ quart... played cards ( GIRLS won!! ) attended their beautiful new church and drove 150 miles back home to our RV... It is COLD here and work starts tomorrow. There are beautiful FALLS in the area...Also lots of caves... Hope to see them next week-end... One of the staffer here goes caving all the time ..150 feet down with his 12 year old son.. NOT ME !!! The trees are really budding out since we first came... Lots to do in Nashville... if you like COUNTRY... Carole

Lots of Hard but Rewarding Work.!!!!!!

Does this look like Dad? I found it on the internet.... It has been a busy work day.!! The guys poured cement.. and the ladies washed lots and lots of clothes and sheets. We also sorted piles and piles of clothes to get ready for a sale for the camp... We have 2 golf carts to ride around in.. the weather is lovely... Tonight we played games.. didn't win... This is a very nice camp and so worthwhile... They really minister to the poor children and widows...We like to work places that are needy and honor God..love your comments... Carole

Rain...Rain!!!!

We made it to our Work Project site through lots of rain... It is VERY hilly and steep cliffs.. Actually we are on the top of Hurricane Ridge.. hope that is no indication.. There are going to be 4 couples now as 2 more signed up..We already worked with one couple in August at a Bible Camp in Wisconsin. The director and his wife came over for a visit.. They were REAL friendly and plan to socialize with the Sowers a lot. Some do and some don't.. Ermeda and Ben... This is a camp for poor kids ( they pay nothing ) and they come from all the gaps and hallows of Tn. and Kentucky.. Think we'll meet Lil' Abner and Disney Mae???? We do get good email reception and some t.v.. Only 5 miles from Wal Mart.... a few restaurants and churches... It REALLY RAINED in the night but no chance of us flooding ( like a lot of local areas ) as we are way up on a mt. top... Lots of flowering trees around... Think we are going to like this Project.. It seems to be needy and Christ like... Carole

Our Tennessee Grandkids

We have enjoyed 3 days with 6 of our grandkids.. now it is time to travel on to our next work project. We will only be about 120 miles from them so plan to see them next week end.. The kids LOVED sleeping over in the motorhome... We really do have a larger couch.. don't know why we sat there for pictures.. I think they would like to go with us to our next project.. Maybe they will become Sowers someday... Hope we have good email service so I can blog ... Carole

Hi....
We drove 600 miles to Tn. and are enjoying our 6 grandchildren. They had a birthday cake and ice cream for Tim last night... 67 yrs. now.. The worship service was so good on Sunday.. the Sower President spoke and good music and Communion... Left ALERT in a RAIN storm!!! It is warm and sunny in Tn. Plan to go shopping today and maybe paint some walls for Kathi tomorrow... dining room and/or bedroom... Kids have grown since we have seen them last Nov.... They LOVE our new motorhome.. Could hardly get it in their driveway.. It is over 40'....Today is April's Fool but so far no one has fooled us....... Carole
