Camp Out In Thorhild

Another year of Campout in Thorhild has come and gone. Our second year with the "Sutera Twins", (actually only one this year). Lou Sutera has had health problems and was not able to come. Man plans, but "God" brings things to pass as "His Will Ordains". Although we missed Lou coming, so many things came to pass, that would not have happened if both twins had been there. As Ralph said to us in the one evening meeting at the end, he felt that God had worked in a totally different way. So many messages, and ways things happened, went different than had been planned. It was a good week. Lord willing, both of the Sutera Twins will be there again. Ralph was so excited, and couldn't wait to let his brother in on what would be happening for a 3rd summer.


The very large meeting area. It makes the dining hall and kitchen area look very small. But in fact, it is not that small, and feeds a good amount of people every summer.


A very special week was spent with Thomas. He was with us from Sunday evening until Friday evening. It was a very hot week. One which drove all the "younger ones" to the pool every afternoon. Grama looked forward to it in the afternoons. This grama much prefers the pool over sitting outside in the heat. We got our share of it this week. One thing you don't always see in the North in the summer. There have been summers that I have hardly gotten out of my jeans.


There weren't lots of kids, but those who were there became good friends. Thomas was missed on Friday evening after he was picked up again. By the time he was picked up, he was a very "bushed camper". The cabin was very quiet. Grama had no one to make popcorn for in the evening, (for cabin time). It was quite a challange to make popcorn without burning it, in the older microwave that was in the kitchen. It still got ate!
