Busy Times

I finished the second of the training courses towards getting reinstated as an instructor for Army Family Team Building. The next classes will be mid-November. I think it will be fun to start volunteer teaching again, and there is a shortage of instructors right now so it will be helpful to the program.

I have had a few embroidery orders lately. One was a rush order from a lady who found the business on an internet search. The other ones are from a good repeat customer. It's nice to have the craft room mostly cleaned and organized. Christmas is coming quickly and lots of project ideas are running through my head. Now to just get them into reality. :)

Jonathan and I leave on Friday to lead a marriage retreat near Denver and then immediately go to a training conference for learning two programs for leading family retreats. The conference will be in Charlotte, NC. We thought we had been bumped from the class, but apparently there were some people who had to cancel, so we are going. Charlie will go to a "doggie hotel" (aka kennel). Misty Cat and the goldfish will stay home, where a neighbor will check in on them a few times during the week.
