Stennes has been working diligently on his state competition posters, props, and speech. He'll leave on Tuesday, compete on Wednesday, and will return on Friday. These days also include interviews, tours, and a really nice banquet.
Meanwhile there are many signs of his practice all around the house.
The Girl has been painting money for one of his props. We figure it's better than laundering money!
We enjoyed a meeting at a Haitian camp this week. The weather has been a bit cooler, which is nice during the evening.
The kids enjoyed a 4H Watemelon Extravaganza with many fun activities!
We've had some very busy days lately. The kids have really helped out. Below, Branch is breaking up frozen corn for Mean Ol' Mama's Cornbread Salad.
Meanwhile, The Girl made strawberry cookies.
Josiah ironed the clothes for Patriotic Performance.

Anders and ChubChub dehydrated figs while all of the other action was going on.
The Senior Center is one of our favorite places to perform. Now we have just one performance left.
After-singing mingling with residents is a very important and enjoyable component of our performances.
We took the kids to the beach for the day, and it was such a pleasant day for all of us.
The 4H Forestry Team spent the day at Bear Creek where they enjoyed some classes and field practice.
The boys have been fishing again and brought home a nice catch.
Yep, soil in the house. Stennes is speaking on the Tifton Soil series, and one of his props includes actual soil. Unfortunately, heavy rains have soaked the ground, so the soil had to be spread out to dry.
And what mother could resist a nice son who brings home cicadas to share? Gotta love it.
We have another busy week ahead. Stennes will be gone most of the time, and Mo'M hopes to wrap up some of the schoolwork before next year's books are brought out. She also has a list (of quite a few pages) of things to be done. Or at least started. Or at least thought about. Maybe...
