Pend Oreille Lake....

We just returned from our Church camp-out at Pend Oreille Lake in Idaho, about 45 minutes from here. A beautiful place to laugh, bike, eat, sing, swim, boat and enjoy God's gift of the great outdoors. Around 70 of us were blessed to enjoy hot summer days, cool nights, no major insects and most importantly...no rain! Thank the good Lord above because a few years back, it was like the deluge of Noah's days....unfortunately my tent was not built like the ark.
