“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34
I will try to post a video from my hike at the Junk Journal Retreat, or as we called it, God’s Gathering. I tried last week but couldn’t figure it out. I wanted to share that one thing from my fun time. Because, not only did we craft, but we shared our junk, ate some great meals, and took some day trips, including the hike at Elk City Reservoir, a visit to Little House on the Prairie Museum, and one day to several flea markets!
Okay, finally, after trimming most of the content I got about 30 seconds of it. Apparently, that is all I can load. But, I think this will give you an idea of our hike. We did two, and this one was the easiest. The other was more rocky.
Here are some stills:
This is called The Keyhole, and my photo doesn't do it justice, because looking through the keyhole you are looking down into a gully hole like place. One of the hikers went down a little way into it. Not me!
Me at the overlook.
Another Day we went to see the Little House on the Prairie Museum near our event.

I learned a lot about Laura Ingalls Wilder and her books that I never knew. This was well worth the visit.
I did take a photo of one of the Flea Markets, just because. LOL
I took photos while waiting for everyone else to check out with their purchases.
I had so much fun at The Gathering, (God’ Gathering is what we called it.) I met ladies from all over the country, including Florida, Arizona, Indiana, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri , and of course, Kansas. I made new friends! We enjoyed crafting together. A couple of the ladies led games and challenges and had drawings for prizes. I won my ticket for TSFT party over at Bleubeard’s and Elizabeth’s at Altered Book Lover!
Below is a photo of my messy desk when I was making pockets for my friends at The Gathering. There was a total of 20 of us.
