The theme for the Good Sam Samboree was “It’s a Zoo.” Weeks of preparation went into costume creation. Hours of effort preceded this picture as we grew a forest and corralled the “animals.”  We won First Place in the competition.  Sadly, only two days later, we lost our Panda.  ~~  We don’t know–from week to week–whether we are guaranteed another sunrise or sunset.  Love your neighbors!!  Hug your kids!! ~~ Click the picture to enlarge for greater detail.

(More pictures of this event to follow.  I don’t have enough hands to work on all the numerous projects: Travel things to put away, laundry to do, patio to sweep, tracked-in bird seed to vacuum up, flower seeds to start for my backyard garden, etc. I’m still in “slow gear” from my accident.  Praise God, I have this moment to thank and glorify Him!!)
