This was a very well presented article. It states both sides of the vaccine issue, yet stresses the point that deciding whether or not to vaccinate should be a PARENTAL choice not a governmental mandate.

If you want to take about 6 mintues of your day to read this, it’s a good article.

I’m a firm believer that this is a choice issue. If you feel, (after doing research – not just blindly following what we’ve all been told for 30 years), that vaccinating is a safe and protective procedure for your child, then go for it! If, after doing research, you feel your child may be put at greater risk by receiving the vaccines offered, then you should have the right to decline. It’s as simple as that.

After reading this article, if I lived in NJ and had to use public day cares…I’d move out of state.

Oh brother! When it’s Summer Bible Camp Time around here, there is nothing else to talk about.

The kids run their sentences together. Something like the title of this blog. “Oh!Mama!Ican’tbelievecampisalmostherecanyoufixmyculottes?” It’s absurd – but lots of fun! I’m so glad the children have this opportunity.

If you ever want to check out a really great camp, look up Harvest Time Bible Camp. It’s located near Shelby, NC. They have horseback riding, campfires, beautiful cabins, swimming, crafts, preaching 2x’s a day, 3 meals a day, a snack shack, lots of games and competitions, fishing, boating on their pond…just a lot of fun! And, get this, it’s only $50 for Monday-Friday! The kids check in about 10:00 a.m. on Monday morning, and the leave just before lunchtime on Friday morning. Most families can barely feed a teenager for $50 a week – this is a great deal!

Jo’s puppies are already receiving phone calls – we are very pleased. I hope they will all sell quickly again for her. They’re so cute – Jo just got done remulching their yard so they have lots of clean-smelling mulch to run around in.

My mother-in-law is here for a visit! We are so happy to have her stay with us. I have the coolest mom-in-law on the planet! We can’t wait til later this summer – we are still planning our trip out west, and mom is coming with us, camping all the way! Yay!

Well, got books to put together – lots of orders coming in these days…..
