Thousands of youth from across the nation will attend the events at Silver Dollar City which is hosting the annual “Young Christians Weekend” beginning today. Middle daughter and her hubs are two of the chaperons for our church’s youth group this weekend and I’ll be with their tots. Great weather predicted today however, tomorrow they could get a lttle wet.

Oh No, Monday
Following a chilly, rainy weekend – Not yet ready to begin the coming work week. Good thing I went to church yesterday.
