today's activities

I am not quite sure what to write today. Whether it be what I was thinking about or what I actually did. Maybe for a change I shall write the activities of the day. We had two confirmation retreat groups here this weekend, but only one stayed until this morning. However, Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church from Canon City came up and had an outdoor worship service in the Pavillion. Usually it is pretty nice up here, but today was chilly and windy, so it was an interesting morning. I don't think the congregation was quite expecting the weather. But we brought down coffee and hot chocolate and all was well! After the service was a barbecue. The cook here is so good, I am eating so much! I need to learn to control my intake! We had barbecue chicken, rolls, fruit, veggies, beans (not so much my favorite), and delicious brownies for dessert! Yum! We had 16 people go through the circuit high ropes course. I helped with the extractor (the last element of the circuit is a zip line, and the extractor is an elevated ladder that they need to get down, however there is a complicated process of how to attach them to another rope and pull them to the ladder. Well, it isn't that complicated, but it makes me feel better about my job!). It was a full day, and we earned the much needed rest. We have a group of seniors coming in tomorrow, and we hear that they are a lot of fun! We shall see.
