Summer Dreamin'

All this cold weather has me perusing the gardening books at the library and thinking about fun things to do this summer. How about you?

Here are some great ideas for summer 2010:

Go to camp! It's not just for children and youth anymore. Both Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp and Christikon have Family Camps and camp experiences specifically for adults. Check them out! There are so many great opportunities!

Camp not your thing? Prefer to spend some time working on or learning some new artistic skills? Check out the Grunewald Guild, a community of art and faith. The Guild, located in Plain, Washington (not far from Leavenworth, and only a few hours northeast of Seattle) is one of my favorite places on earth. I've only been there twice, but can't wait to go back! My first time there I spent a week learning calligraphy in the morning and "fabric embellishment" in the afternoon. The second summer there I spent the mornings in a creative writing class and the afternoons in "clay paper sculpture." Swing by my office sometime and I'll show you the results.
