Holden Village

WE'RE BACK!!! Holden Village was great! It was much larger than I had expected. There was a bowling alley, an ice-cream shop, a pool hall, a jacuzzi, a labyrinth, a bookstore, at least six lodges, about 10 other houses that people actually lived in, and a giant sanctuary with a painted ceiling, that we had church in every night. I can't blog about every single day, but I can assure you, it was fantastic. But I will tell you one thing: when we get back, be prepared for a lot of jokes. Every night, we sat on the upstairs porch of our lodge and told all the jokes we could remember. (We ran out a lot, so we had to ask around.) I am planning on writing a joke book, getting it published, and having it sold at the bookstore at Holden.

That's all I have to say for the regular readers, but I have some news for the Pilgrims that just got back from Holden also.

We just got back from going to the Safeway, (and we are NOT lost) and are now sitting in our hotel room at the Travelodge, similar to our previous room, except this one doesn't have as good of a view as the last one. And I need you all to comment and remind me of more jokes, because believe it or not, I forgot most of them. If you can not comment (which you probably won't be able to) you can e-mail me at maramergens@yahoo.com .

THANKS
