it's april 15... tax day! and we have already gotten our return check! praise Be! audrey and i are up at camp quaker heights in eldora, ia. it's 5:24 p.m. and we are on a 1 day pastor's teaching and retreat. we are staying in Tall Oaks Lodge and have had a wonderful time so far... and the retreat hasn't even started yet!
we arrived on site about 3:00 p.m. and decided to take a walk through the woods and down by the Iowa River. it's about 60 degrees and sunny, but also 30 mph winds. so walking down into all the trees was a blessing. while we were on our 2 hour walk we saw a herd of about 10 deer on the other side of the river (audrey spotted them), and then we saw a hawk which had caught a fish in it's large talons (napoleon dynamite), and then i spotted a herd of about 20 deer on our side of the river. we were only about 50 to 75 yards away from them, and one had a gimp back left leg which slowed him down, but there were 2 other deer that stayed behind to help make sure he didn't get picked off.
it has been a great time so far, and i'm still looking forward to supper, and the teaching for tonight! and a good night of sleep!
i'll let you know tomorrow how the rest of the retreat goes!
peace
