The weekend after Easter, the regional Young Single Adults had a conference here at the camp. They were great. They wanted to do a service project, so our favorite landscaper from Kinston, Bill Moss, put them to work in my front yard, which is also the entrance to the camp. There was sod to lay, shrubs to be planted, and a wall to build. They did it all, plus some cleanup.
Here's how it looked when they were done. And there's my favorite dogwood tree. The spring version with its blossoms looking very much like the winter version with snow.
After their work was done, they served lunch in the lodge, and then gathered on the deck for talks by the area authority, Elder Ingram and his wife.
It was all fun and games after that.
A couple of weeks after this event, Stan got a phone call from Casey, saying that Alexa who is in middle school, had an assignment to make a musical instrument and then describe how she made it, and play it for the class. It had to have multiple pitches and dynamics. So, of course, we hopped right in the car and drove three hours to Clemmons, so that Grandpa could help. They made a panpipe from PVC pipe. Here they are with the finished product. Aren't they cute?! (I should add that she got an "A" for the project.)
And here she is--in concert. We sure love this darling girl.
Coming up in the next Post: The Mt. Olive Pickle Festival. You won't want to miss that!
