Summer???

Since we've been back, it's like summer is over......it's cold (54 tonight), the tourist are gone, the lake is receeding and it's AUGUST!! Honestly it's like we've had one month of summer. Some of you think that would be wonderful, I know, but this girl is a summer loving idiot! Bring on the sun and the water! Anyway, still trying to be content........

We finished up VBS this week and will be finishing up youth night tonight (for a while anyway). Mason started football this week, 5 days a week for 2 weeks, and then his first game will be the 15th, before school even starts! Then practices will be 3 nights a week. They start school on the 18th so we have one more week of freedom! If school could just start at 10:00, I wouldn't dread it so much.......

Yesterday we went to eat lunch with Jennifer and Chaz Shafely who are summer residents but live in Durango in winter. Their place is gorgeous and the location of their house is amazing....

it's over at Granite Peak Ranch on the other side of the lake. I had to take some pictures of this place....the house was a cabin and it was decorated so cute on the inside...

These next shots are taken from their front yard....





I have a couple of prayer requests for you guys today....

-----My dad is having hip replacement surgery today...pray this goes well and that he has a speedy recovery.

---I know you are probably sick of us asking you to pray for our house to sell, but we received an offer, then counter offered and they didn't take it. So we went back and told them we'd take the first offer. God has showed us that He will provide so all we can do is trust Him. Please pray that these people will take this offer back and that the house would pass inspection. The waiting is agony!! I hope to one day be able to share with you what God has done to show us His provision.

Love to you all---- Lori
