The crunch before acheivement days


For any one who has ever been involved in 4H you know that the last couple of days before achievement days is the time to complete (or start) the projects that you have had waiting all year. Sarah and I are putting together her photography album, printing pictures and having fun?? It is due Wed. Yikes. Life has been busy in Harmony. I have been working extra because we are so short in my dept in the lab. Management has never figured out that when staff retires you should hire someone before they leave so you can train them. No they hire a month after the person is gone and so for the summer we have no one trained. But what do we know. The kids have been busy and keeping me busy with soccer, they were leaders for our community day camp last week and made some money for BC. They have been working with their 4H calves. We were up to see the tall ships a few weeks ago. Summer is flying by. We see Annie and the kids a lot, which is great. Paulette, I am saving my money for book club, can't wait to see what surpises you have for us.

I remember those days very well, as a parent, not a particpant. But it was all worth it in the end, when you walked thru the 4-H buildings to see all the projects and hardwork come together. Truly a great program! Good Luck,Sarah and Connor!
