Devree and I hurried off to Girl's Camp at Buck's Lake as soon as we got home from the 60th wedding anniversary. The lake was peaceful and we camped amongst the trees and were very shaded. The theme was "Real Girls. Real Strong." It was a beautiful setting. Devree was a Youth Camp Leader and I was a leader of a different group. Devree spoke about Faith and Hope and the service project that the whole camp helped was to make 400 handmade cards to give to St. Jude's patient's. The patient's can use them to thank the staff and volunteers for their services or help. Devree and I are excited to take them when we go in September.
