Flat Stanley comes to town
I have to admit, I have never actually read the story of Flat Stanley...but it is time for me to check it out from the library since we have him staying in our house right now. He is a very quiet visitor, no trouble at all. He is very photogenic and seems to enjoy seeing the sights of Branson. We wanted to introduce him to Branson's many great restaurants, but he never seems to have much of an appetite. We are glad our nephew Clayton sent him to us. We have many fun plans for the next couple weeks. I was proud of the slide show I made on Photobucket.com from our trip to the Wax Museum tonight. That is my first time successfully making a slide show. Now that I know how there will be more to come in the future. But, for now I need to get to bed, Goodnight.

Summer Days coming to an end
We have had such a blast this summer acting like tourists here in Branson. My friends here keep correcting me when I say we are acting like tourists, because they assure me that it is okay to have this much fun even when we are all settled. There is so much to love about this place: the people, the scenery, the entertainment, and a great job for Garrett that brought us here. Thanks to the city of Branson for allowing us to get a fresh start on life. It has been a refreshing summer. We look forward to the change of seasons to see the Ozarks with new colors on in the Fall and covered in frost in the Winter. Time has been going by so quickly these past few months, I actually want it to slow down so we can have time soak it all in. My boys are learning and growing so much each day. We are enjoying the stages they are at in life. Solomon is always eager to teach Jeremiah new things. They are a great pair of boys who have so much fun together. Jerry and I will miss Solomon during the day when he goes to school. But, it will be a good thing too for them to have some time to themselves. I hope to get a Joy School co-op going for pre-school with Jerry to avoid having to pay lots of $$$ for preschool. I am only working two days per week, so I will have lots of time to enjoy my last year with Jerry at home. I better get back to bed to catch a few more ZZZs before my boys wake up. Bye for now.

Ripley's Believe it or Not
This is just outside the museum at 10:30 pm when we completed our tour. In the background you can see a bunch of cars driving past. That gives you a little idea of how live our little town is. There is constant activity in the tourist areas from 7 am until late into the night. My favorite part of driving down the strip at night is passing 5 miniature golf courses that are all filled with families having fun together. Very different experience driving down the strip in Branson vs. driving down the strip in Vegas. I'll take the good wholesome family fun any day over sin city! This is such a great place to live. I hope we get to stay a long time.

FLICKER
This has got to be my all time favorite camp song!
I learned it in 1990 from Kelli Schofield who was
the SJ 16th ward Young Women's president at the time.
Not sure who wrote it, but Kelli gets the credit for
bringing this awesome song into my life.
(Verses one and three are intended to be sung
simultaneously after singing each verse on its own)
Verse 1 -The Flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines, The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines. A place where people gather, make friends of all kinds. A place where all men’s troubles, are always left behind, so give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright. And give me some friends to sing with, I’ll be here all night. Love is for those who share it, I found mine right here, just you and me and the campfire, and the songs we love to hear.
Verse 2- I know a place where no one ever goes, There is peace and quite, beauty and repose. It's hidden in the valley, beside a mountain stream, And lying there beside the stream I find that I can dream. Only of things of beauty to the eye, Snow peaked mountains rising to the sky. Now I know that God has made this world for me.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Verse 3 - One can imagine himself as in a dream, climbing up a mountain or down a small revine. The beauty of this peace and quiet ever shall stay. To make this place a haven, each and every day. Oh how I wish, I never had to leave. All my life such beauty to receive. Now I know, that God has made this world for me.

v.2- Starboard shines green and port
is glowing red, I can see the barges up ahead.
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold

v.4- Taking their cargo out into the sea,
how I wish that someday they’d take me

The Campfire Song
The camp fire lights anew,
The flame of friendship true.
The joy we've had in knowing you,
Will last our whole lives through.
But as the embers fade away,
we wish that we might ever stay.
But since we can not have our way,
We'll meet again some other day.
(This was a song my mom taught me
around the campfire as a little girl.
We shared it with others at girls' camp.
It is usually sung slower than I
sang it on the C.D.. Bill and I decided to
speed it up a bit since my throat was soar
that day and I wasn't able to hold
out the notes very well)

God Created Camp Ritchie
written by Nan Hunter, music by Lynn Shurtleff
God created Camp Ritchie,
great pines, starry skies, blue lake,
God created Camp Ritchie
for his dear young daughters’sake.
Great pines growing tall and straight
help me to know I too am great,
the starry skies and sweet fresh air
remind me He is everywhere.
A lake that’s deep and pure and blue,
Oh Father may I be so too.
Lord we give our thanks to Thee
for leaders of such quality,
for laughter, songs, and heart-shared love,
for spirit we feel from above,
for tender moments with a friend,
for memories that will never end.
God created Camp Ritchie,
great pines, starry skies, blue lake,
God created Camp Ritchie
for his dear young daughters’sake.
(This was a song that originated in the
San Jose South Stake. I had never heard of it
before the music was sent to me by a friend who
went to camp with that Stake. It had been
requested by a few people on the Facebook group
so I decided to add it to the collection of songs.
On the CD it was sung by 14 year old Alexie Rhiner.)

America
In honor of the 4th of July Holiday we all celebrated this weekend, I wanted to share the words to this song that was also a girls' camp favorite. It did not make it on to the camp songs C.D. yet, it is a song worth remembering.
America, America,
Can we tell you how we feel?
You have given us your treasures.
We love you still.
(done in a round, to the same tune as 'Rose, rose, rose, rose')

No Man is an Island
No man is an island.
No man stands alone.
Each man's joy is joy to me,
Each man's grief is my own.
We need one another,
So I will defend.
Each man as my brother,
Each man as my friend.
No man stands alone.
Each man's joy is joy to me,
Each man's grief is my own.
We need one another,
So I will defend.
Each man as my brother,
Each man as my friend.

Titanic
You may wonder why this classic camp song ended up grouped with the more serious songs on the C.D., the tone of the song is quite silly, but the subject matter is somewhat depressing, thus the placement decision was made. I feel it helped keep the first part of the album from getting too boring. The version on the C.D. is a bit different than the one I learned at camp Ritchie, but this is the way the girls who sang with me had learned it, and it was easier to adapt my tune than to re-teach them the song. Hope you enjoy singing this one as much as we did. Put on your life preservers everyone, here goes:
Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue
And they thought they had a ship that the water wouldn't
go through. So the Lord He raised His hand and said,
"This ship would never land"
It was sad when the great ship went down.
CHORUS:
It was sad
It was sad, sooo sad!
It was sad when the great ship
went down to the bottom of the sea
(husbands and wives and children lost their lives)/
(uncles and aunts and children wet their pants)
two optional counter melodies
It was sad when the great ship went down.
(echo) down, down, down,
Down to the bottom of the sea
(blub, blub, blub, blub)
It was near the English shore when they heard a mighty roar,
And the rich refused to associate with the poor.
So they sent them down below where they were the first to go
It was sad when the great ship went down.
CHORUS
The Captain stood on deck with a tear in his eye,
as he waved the last of his passengers goodbye.
He thought he made a slip, so he went down with the ship
It was sad when the great ship went down.
CHORUS
So, they built another ship and they called it Number Two,
And they thought they had a ship that the water wouldn't go through.
Well, they christened it with beer then it sank right off the pier,
It was sad when the great ship went down.
CHORUS (one last time, with lots of feeling!)

Walk Tall
Words and Music by Jamie Glen
I will forever be grateful to Jamie Glen
for writing this beautiful song that helped me
to understand how much love Heavenly Father has for me.

a prayer for each of you there is a special part.
That you remember who you are, and he who lives above.
Please seek for Him and live His way, You'll feel His love.
Walk Tall you're a daughter, a child of God, be strong and
remember who you are. Try to understand, you're part of His
great plan. He's closer than you know. Reach up,
He'll take your hand.
Long before the time you can remember, Our Father held you
in his arms so tender. Those loving arms released you as he
sent you down to earth, He said, "My child I love you, don't
forget your great worth."
Walk Tall you're a daughter, a child of God, be strong and
remember who you are. Try to understand, you're part of His
great plan. He's closer than you know. Reach up,
He'll take your hand.
This life on earth we knew would not be easy, at time we lose
our way His path we may not see. But please, remember always
please, that you are not alone. He'll take you hand,
He loves you, He will guide you Home.
Walk Tall you're a daughter, a child of God, be strong and

I will forever be grateful to Jamie Glen
for writing this beautiful song that helped me
to understand how much love Heavenly Father has for me.
Right now I have a prayer deep within my heart,
a prayer for each of you there is a special part.
That you remember who you are, and he who lives above.
Please seek for Him and live His way, You'll feel His love.

We Love You/ White Coral Bells
These are both short ones, so I decided to put them together
We Love You
We love you _____ _____ (Camp Ritchie)
oh yes we do, we love you Camp Ritchie
and we'll be true, when you're not near
us we're BLUE, oh Camp Ritchie, we love you!
(in this song, you can replace Camp Ritchie for
the name of any person you want to pay tribute to.)
White Coral Bells (two part round)
White coral bells, upon a slender stalk,
lilies of the valley deck my garden walk
Oh, don't you wish that you could hear them ring?
That will happen only when the fairies sing.
