One more day until Vacation Bible School! Yesterday I was in town until 8 p.m.  gathering things for the next week. I have spent the last two days painting  an eight foot banner with the theme scripture on it.  This year it is based on Matthew 6:19-21.

Do not store up your treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy, or thieves steal, But store up your treasures in Heaven where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not steal.   For where your treasure is,  there may be your heart also.

I bought three small wooden treasure boxes at the craft store that Jess painted for me.   We will be using them in the intro to our story.

Many stories are being used with mine being Solomon and his wisdom.  After telling the lesson,  Ken and Jess and two other young people from the church are acting out the judgment of the two women and the baby.  So, here I am sewing the King's sash, finding jewels, doing the verse.   Hey, it only starts tomarrow night! 

So here is something weird.    This morning Tom got up before me and went to the mud room to put out Stanley.   Gone.  He was gone!    Where could he be?  The doors and windows were closed.    Ah....a closer look revealed that he busted through the screen in the door going outside. Not an easy task as the window is only 18" square!

He's back within a few minutes of calling him.  Who knows how long he was out.

Great day for a ride.  Six of us were out for a "short" ride today.  It ended up being the better part of 3 hours.   Way to long for me.    We came home and what did we see?    Jack!   Now how can that be?   Stanley was in the mudroom,   the other boys were left in the house.   Hmmm.....no visible sight of screens nocked out.   Did I leave the front door open and he broke out that screen?   No.....so after putting the horses in I came in and did a once around.   Wait!   what is that ?  The front curtain is messed up.     HA!   He jumped up on the couch and busted through the front window screen.  So that window is locked up until I can replace the screen there.    The price we pay when we leave the animals for to long to many times in a row.
