I'm not ready for Fall...

Its been a cool summer here in the big mitten. That hasn't kept us away from the beach though :D We just got back from Lake Michigan at a friends beach house. It was hard to rip ourselves away...especially since our friends are missionaries in Romania and won't be back for another 2 years. =( We had a great time and made many more precious memories that all 11 of us will remember fondly. Well maybe not Tucker so much, but at least I have the pictures to prove it to him ;0)

We had a nice fire down by the shore where we roasted marshmallows and cuddled together to keep warm.
Frigid water, wind and waves couldn't keep the kids away :D
And if you come here to see soap, feast your eyes on my latest batch. Goats milk, oatmeal and honey. It will be listed in the White Bucket Project shop soon. Maybe even tonight, but I'm not holding my breath.
My computer is in the shop and I'd like to say that when it gets back I'll post much more often. I just started reading the book Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology. I'm not too far but love it already. As much as I like technology, it seems to complicate many things rather than make them easier. After reading the entire book I may be ready to throw away my computer all together....or at least spend a lot less time on it :D Oh, and the best part about the book? Inspite of many degrees the author makes a living driving a rickshaw and making soap!!
