Givan Update by Numbers            

Hello all:

Well, the summer is almost over and for me that means another camp season in the books.  Praise the Lord!  Here’s a summary with some numbers.

 3,259 number of stays for camp that had to be arranged

 365 camp meal times that had to be scheduled

51 days until a trip to Chicago with Kate for the National Eating Disorder Conference.  (Her trip to Disney didn’t work out so we are doing this instead).  Andrew and Katie will contact you when it gets closer.

31 days until the State Fair begins and my vacation.  Let me know if anyone wants to go with.

20 (about) number of new plants Tim put out this year.  They are very pretty and have been fun to watch.  Several will get moved inside this Fall.

15 number of job applications I have filled out.  It’s time for a change but right now it isn’t looking to possible

13 days until Chris and Theresa’s reception at the pasture.  We look forward to seeing you if you can attend.

6 number of girls at the zoo.  On our bucket list was a trip to see the elephant exhibit at the Sedgwick County Zoo.  Thank you Rivers’ girls for being our guides.  If you want to go to the zoo and have the animals look at you you should attend with Kate and Gus.  One giraffe left his feeding station (zoo patrons were feeding him) to come and see Gus.

The Meerkats were especially interested in Gus

4 for the number of actual job interviews.  Sympathies to all who are doing the job hunt or may need to in the near future.  It does nothing for self-esteem.

3 = a trio.  Tim and his “girls”.  Liza recently had to wear a cone and man can she flip her head and get it off quickly.

2 number of times I have worn a dress in the last 4 years.  This is Sam (co worker and friend) and I at a fund raising event at the Cosmosphere.  We were there working not donating!

1 number of new family members added to the Givan group and she doesn't have 4 legs.  Theresa and Chris will be married on the beach in Santa Barbara on August 8.

Take care everyone and enjoy the rest of the summer.
