 Looking at these pics, remembering good times...and missing some very dear friends. And so, a few shots of the 2nd annual Zealand camping trip. 

Take off:

The posing...

The morning sky....almost made up for the full moon that stayed hidden.  Nothing beats laying in your sleeping bag and awaking to a view like this...

  And a camping trip with the singles here.  Blueberry Lake....rock on!

 Me thinks it's time for a new update....maybe I should just shut this page down...and open face book like some ppl  (uh-hum, Miriam...) keep insisting.  But then I'd have to learn how to work a new "thing".  at least xanga is my comfort zone these days.  I'm so at home one never knows I'm here.

Anyway, since Mother's Day....ha.  How 'bout let's just say that right now Darla is very tired, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually,  from the summer and is ready for some quality, alone Darla time, which is right around the corner.  Yipeee.  I miss the summer staff , but life does move on.  Had a great team for the summer camps and God sure smiled down on BLC this summer.  Oh the things I learned....and the pain of learning...quite literally.  I'm now awaiting surgery to repair my completely torn acl (or was that aol, or lol...) ligament in my left knee and also to remove a piece of cartilidge that is not where it belongs but rather restricting movement.  Pray that it happens soon so I can begin to recover soon so that I can be active soon.  I'm learning that I don't so much like to be resticted physically.  I'm also learning lots of other lil lessons from my Father through it all.  For that reason, I can see good in the bad.

This here is a pic of some fine friends I surely do miss.  Maybe someday soon I'll do some more pictures. Now that would be a very "un-darla-like" thing to do.  But there's always a first.....
