We found a place to take the raccoons a little over an hour away. There was a lot of calling and texting around. I had actually started praying about it so I also need to mention that God answered that prayer. Yesterday afternoon my daughter and I drove them there once camp was over. We also had a fawn who needed medical attention. We took the fawn to her place first and then we brought the raccoons to theirs. She said they looked great and that we’d done a good job.

The fawn ended up dying after a rough day in the wild. I cried when we drove away from the raccoons because I can’t seem to remain neutral with things like that. Really I can’t stay neutral with any of it but if you grieved over everything you’d never stop crying. The mosquito guy came and sprayed around the house. I accomplished things here and there around the house. My daughter and I planted strawberry plants that a friend’s mom had given us and had been sitting out front.

Dad took the boys shopping for camp supplies this morning. He brought home some dirt for us to use in the raised bed where we were planting the strawberry starts. The camp kids went out tonight to go somewhere for supper. There are usually leftovers for them in the fridge but on weekends they seem to be ready for something different. Going out to eat on the weekends during camp was one of the very best parts about working here. The first place I remember going was Chili’s.
