Today was interesting. It was time to take Jennifer back to camp for three weeks. When she comes back the middle of August she jumps right into the Fall semester at Long Beach City.

This last week we have had hot and humid weather. The remnants of Hurricane Emily that came ashore over Mexico several days ago is now being sucked into our area making for some really interesting thunder, lightning and rain out in the desert, mountains and Inland Empire. So on the way up the mountain we had a little rain. We got to camp and could hear thunder in the distance. We were at camp about 40 minutes. We drive through the mountain/resort town of Wrightwood to and from camp. Driving on the way to camp Wrightwood was dry. Leaving, the town was drenched. They must have had a severe cell dump a cloudburst of rain on them. Water was running down the streets and the dry creeks had water in them. We ran into some rain going down the mountain and driving along the Cajon Pass. Then again more rain, at times heavy, in Diamond Bar. While we were under the clouds and in the rain, it was cool. As soon as we came out from under, it was hot. It was really interesting.

We stopped at Bob's Big Boy in Diamond Bar to have lunch/dinner on the way home. We did not have time for lunch as we had to have Jennifer back at camp by 2. We made it at 2:13. So Jennifer got a leftover burrito from lunch up there and went off to join the rest of staff welcoming the new campers in for the week. Before that we had taken all her stuff and dropped it off in her dorm room.

The rest of the week will be busy. Either Monday or Tuesday I will run some errands and I want to see the movie March Of The Penquins. Then Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I am attending a Summer Hand Bell Ring at Concordia University in Irvine. More on that later.

I have some pictures of the camp where Jennifer is working I took last October when the ladies from our church went there for a Women's Retreat. The first one is of the kitchen where she is working. The second is a shot of one portion of the dining room area, the third is a picture of Jackson Lake. This is a public lake but the camp is permitted to use part of it for boating. The final picture is of one small area where cabins are located.
