A Scouting Mission!

Tonight, our smaller than usual group ventured out
for a reconnaissance mission.

We were wildly successful and are preparing for
a night of adventure next Friday when back at full
strength. We visited  the Original Kimball Farm in
Westford, MA. It's a place filled with fond memories
for some of us who have gone there for ice cream
treats since our childhood.

What a wonderful mixture of old and new! A bit
of a walk down memory lane and the toys and adventures
of today!

Watch as our Summer adventures begin to wind down.
Next Friday we'll play miniature golf and take a whirl
at bumper boats!

The Rains Came !

The heat wave continues and last night was oppressive
even at Kim's pool. We had great hopes of getting some
relief from the heat but things didn't work out the way
we had planned!

We enjoyed some ice cream and cake but before we knew it
thunder rumbled, the skies grew extremely dark, and
the rains came pouring down.

Now a little rain can't dampen our enthusiasm a bit!
What to do? Why not enjoy a game but what game?
Someone mentioned bowling, so.....

We went bowling right there in Kim's living room! What fun!
Anyone who knows me at all knows that I don't like sports
of any kind. So naturally, Kim made sure that I was in the mix
competing with Melinda, Jay, and Brian. The competition was
fierce. Not so much! It's impossible to be fierce when you're
laughing that hard.

After a few gutter balls, some splits, spares and even
a few strikes (yes there were strikes but the graphic
didn't stay on the screen long enough) we had a winner!

Drum roll please! And the winner is Melinda!
I've come to see Melinda's adventurous and
competitive nature! Congratulations also to
Jay, Sally and Brian!

Anticipating another round of showers, we
headed home. Check out the beautiful skies
that surrounded us!

We're Having a Heat Wave!

It's HAZY, HOT & HUMID and  for the past 7 days,
we've been in an 'official' heat wave with 90+ temperatures.

Early in the Summer our team had big dreams of
lots of Friday night adventures! Not even a heat wave
can interfere with making those dreams come true.
Here's a clue to how we enjoyed our Friday night\
together...

Any ideas? Yes? No? Well let me give another clue....

This yummy assortment of ingredients for
ice cream sundaes should help give you a clue!
Any ideas yet?

If you guessed Kim's pool, you're a winner! Last night
was hot and muggy but absolutely gorgeous out by
her pool and as always everyone had lots of fun! We'll
get back on the road for more far reaching destinations
once this hot weather ends. In the mean time, we're happy
where we are!

It's a perfect time to simply catch up! Laurie and Mindy
decided not to go into the pool and simply enjoyed some
girl time together!

Most of the action centered around an exciting game of
volleyball. We have lots of talent in our group! We also
have some interesting scoring methods!

And we're not afraid to simply be silly. Check out Chip and Charlie!

When the excitement of the games and play came
to an end, there was time to rest!

While we play hard, Friday nights together provide us a
time and place of refuge from the stresses and challenges
of every day life. What a priviledge to be a part of this
very special group of friends!

We strive to always live In Line With The Word

4th of July Fun!

 The 4th of July is a day to reflect, remember and to be
thankful for the privileges and  freedom  that come with living
in this great country!  May God continue to bless America!
It was wonderful being able to celebrate together and what
better place to hang out than at Kim and Chip's beautifully
refreshing pool!

Our photo's will tell you some of the story! After a delicious
lunch, we celebrated Kristi's and Mindy's birthdays too!

We relaxed and just had fun talking about all sorts
of stuff.

Most of the action was around and in the pool, including water
fights with super soakers, water balloon toss, and even
synchronized swimming. It was a perfect day!

Eventually the sun, fun, and laughter wore a few of us out!

We hope that you enjoyed as wonderful day
as we did!

Your In Line With The Word friends
