Last full day of camp

We leave tomorrow around noon, well I should say today, we leave in about 10 hours since it is almost 2am.

Three of us went swimming for a little while. And now its bedtime.

Some pictures of our day... getting hair braided, my hair up for the day, the lake right outside the cabin I'm staying in, resting for a little while before dinner on the front porch of our cabin, snuggling with ash trying not to fall asleep.

Today was long, but very productive, now 5 day away from hubby and home and I am ready to to get going.

See you next week for Plain and Simple....

Love,
Erika

Dear Erika,

The hair styles are beautiful! My AnnaMarie loves doing everyone's hair in braids.

I hope that everyone is resting up and back to doing all the sweet and simple things that make home sweet!

Love,

Marqueta

Thomas Jefferson’s 10 Rules to Live by:
1. Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you have earned it.
4. Never buy what you don’t want because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.
6. We seldom repent of having eaten too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
8. How much pain the evils have cost us that never happened.
9. Take things always by the smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten before you speak, if very angry, count to a hundred.

Ben Franklin’s 13 Virtues
1. TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2. SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
3. ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
4. RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
5. FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
6. INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.
11.TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
12. CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
