Little Tid-Bits

The Zehr household has finally started to slow down. Our life hasn't been too action packed lately. However, a few things have gone on...Last weekend we went camping with our friends that are going to be adult leaders for youth group. We wanted to talk about their responsibilities for the year and what events are planned so far. For each meal we had a different kind of pudgie pie (taco, pizza, and breakfast with eggs, sausage and cheese) using the pie irons. That was a huge hit! Pudgie pies make camping so wonderful! We hope to go camping again with those couples in the fall sometime.

We've also been working on the youth floor. We've started some more painting in the hallway. One of the seniors that just graduated is painting a pear tree on the wall for the seniors to sign. The other wall has a verse about bearing fruit. It's not finished yet but I'll post pictures when it is. We also have a couch in one of the rooms that needed the cushions recovered. The fabric was really thin and there were holes everywhere. I bought some denim fabric and had an older lady from the church help me out since I don't really sew...at all. She said she was just tickled that I asked her to help me. They turned out pretty nice. Now if we could just recover the couch. :)

This week we also got to spend some time with Aaron's parents. They went to Brown County on vacation. The stopped to see us on their way on Sunday after church. We had lunch and played Euchre. We also got to talk to his sister Sam, who has been in Romania this summer and is coming home today! Tuesday we drove to Brown County to spend the day with them. In the morning the men went golfing while the women went shopping. The guys were golfing in style because they had a golf cart with GPS! It told them how far things were and kept score. It even asked them if they wanted to order food as they approached the clubhouse. We ate lunch when they got back and shopped some more. Sorry...no pictures.

This weekend in honor of the Olympics in Beijing, we are going to have youth group Olympics. We are so excited. There will be 5 events. The students will be on teams but be scored individually. Aaron even got engraved medals for the top three finishers! He is just so creative and makes things so much fun.
