No, no. I wasn’t in New York for the 4th of July. I was actually helping Dane in his booth. But this picture made me very happy. It’s beautiful–don’t you think?
How did you celebrate the 4th?

Happy Independence Day!

Kenya Village Water Miracle
My good friend Scot Proctor–who I’ve known for 34 years sent me a letter today, asking for help. He is such a good man and I love him dearly. After reading his letter, I told him that I’d pass the news to my dear friends–my readers at Gracious Rain. Most of you are moms and we know moms are some of the most generous people on earth.
Here’s what he said:
Dear Launi,
My wife, Maurine, and our youngest daughter, Michaela, and I (and 21 others) are heading back to Kenya in just 9 days to complete another project in a little village where we built a school last year. This time we are working together with the villagers to bring them water. We are still short funds (as you will see when you click through to our final funding push). The drill is going right now and we really need these final dollars to put in the pipes to distribute this water to the community garden, to help us with clearing the land and to do all the fencing as well. There are also funds to do some more refurbishment of the school. We have already paid all of our expenses—we need money to help finish this project.
Can you come and look at our fund-raising page and consider helping with a donation? We would be so grateful.
I’ve always said that a lot of people giving a little each, can do a whole lot of good.
Blessings and love to you.
–Scot.
PS Please, please spread the word.
And so I am happy to do. Please go to the site and and if your children have clean water to drink, please consider helping if you can right HERE.
Water…we can’t live without it. Luckily, we don’t have to.
Lighting The World
My Daney-boy and his sweetheart Kortney came all the way from Idaho to man a booth at Summerfest.
The company he works for is called Niki-Nu Lites.
Perhaps you’ve heard me brag talk about them before.
See they make these beautiful, incredible lights, in all kinds of colors…
and all kinds of shapes.
Some even have logos…
very IMPORTANT logos.
These lights are so much fun to put together–easier than I thought too.
Of course, people can also buy them already put together…either way.
The booth attracts a lot of attention during the day, because the lights are so unique.
But the minute the sun starts to dip in the west…
these lights simply glow.
People actually gather around just to stare at them and try to figure out what they’re made of…
and how they’re put together.
And of course, my cute boy is right there to show them. Looks like he’s a little light-headed at the moment. HAaahaha.
I crack myself up!
If you happen to be in Provo this week for the 4th of July–please come visit my boy in his Niki-Nu Lites booth at the Freedom Festival.
We’ll all be there to help and cheer and clap…and stare.
Hope to see you there!
