ARCHED PLANTERS

 I am behind a bit in my ten year plan to complete the rock wall maze garden in an empty lot next to our house. Although I did  not make the kind of progress I had hoped this summer I did complete these two arched planters in a new section.

FORGOTTEN POTATOES

 This is what happens when you store some potatoes in a box in a dark corner of your basement and then forget about them for an entire year.

CARDBOARD MINISTRY #3

We kicked off our Hide and Seek Club this past fall at State Road AC Church with an ENORMOUS cardboard maze. Using hundreds of discarded appliance boxes and cardboard panels we filled the church's gymnasium. Hilarity ensued! It was definitely lots of work, but also lots of fun and something our Hide and Seek Club Members will remember for a long time.

CARDBOARD MINISTRY #2

For a week long day camp at Lulu AC Church in Lulu, FL we based our theme on the Matthew 7 passage about the wise man who built his house on the rock. We built a town in miniature using discarded refrigerator boxes and panel cardboard donated by Lowes' receiving department. As children arrived our "Real Estate Agents" helped them find a house in our fellowship hall.

Rockville's business district where the children could spend the Rockville Bucks that they earned memorizing scripture.

We served lunch every day at Rocky's Diner.

LOS ANGELES

Driveways tumble down
Toward streets
Like mountain streams,
And cars,
Like sticks in the current,
Are drawn nose first
Downstream.
The river roads slide along
Past fields and forest,
Farms and towns-
They swell,
They overflow,
Expanding and adding lanes.
Cruisers bask on their banks
Like hungry crocs.
Every freeway a watershed.
Every road a tributary.
And like so much sediment
From upstream
The traffic flows out
Into Los Angeles.

Cardboard Castle for Kingdom of Light Summer Day Camp (Lulu AC Church- Lulu, FL, 2016)

 Buying swords and armor at the Blacksmith shop.

 Some of the ladies.

 Boxes obtained from Lowes Receiving Department in Lake City, FL over the span of several months.

 Super servant, Roy Morrison, making private rooms in the castle for each child.

Carriage rides. 

 This large cardboard castle was constructed for a summer day camp at Lulu AC Church in 2016. Above are some of the stores in the market (blacksmith shop, toy shop, candy and pets)

 A separate castle was built in the sanctuary for puppet skits.

 Every child that attended had their own room in the castle, with their name on the door- "Sir _____" or "Lady _______."

 Painted refrigerator boxes and cardboard panels.

 The entrance to the castle located in the church's fellowship hall.

 Children could write each other notes which were delivered daily.

 The feasting hall. (Please note the paper mache pig at the center of the table, which was made by my friend, Roy.)

 Shops.
