Meet Addie. I don't know why, but this morning I suddenly got the urge to adopt a fish. I haven't had a fish in years. So my daughter and I went to Petsmart and she helped me pick out supplies. I wanted a tank with colored lights, but bought the white light one because it … Continue reading Addie

My First Loaf of Bread
Today I used our old bread machine to make my first loaf of bread. I made parmesan garlic bread. It didn't turn out perfectly. I took out the mixing piece too soon. But my husband has still enjoyed a piece. Tomorrow I might try again. I got several chores done today, but not as many … Continue reading My First Loaf of Bread
Changed Our Minds
We have changed our minds about homeschooling next year. Long story, but we decided that homeschooling would not be best for A for now. So now we are between two different schools to send her to. One is a clear first choice, but we haven't interviewed with them yet. The other school is also very … Continue reading Changed Our Minds
Lovely Afternoon
A had a cooking class today, followed by a sleepover. She won't come home until tomorrow night after her next cooking class. I miss her, but today C and I got to go out on a date. It has been nice having it be just the two of us for the evening. Tomorrow C goes … Continue reading Lovely Afternoon
A Lovely Day
This morning I slept in a little bit. I got up a little after 8. My daughter's sewing teacher came over. While she was doing sewing I was talking to someone from the school district about home school resources and activities. I got some good information. Homeschooling is feeling more real. I've homeschooled for a … Continue reading A Lovely Day
Battlefield, Film, Books
Today my husband took our family to a historic battlefield. I got photos on both of the film cameras I brought. I can't wait to see how the color flash comes out in one and the special effects of psychedelic blues film in the other. Film makes me happy. I ordered more today for my … Continue reading Battlefield, Film, Books
Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen
For the first time, I really realize how important the parable of the wedding banquet is. A man who does not have wedding clothes is spotted at a wedding celebration (and he had already declined to attend),and cast outside where there is gnashing of teeth. Then Jesus says "Many are invited, few are chosen." If … Continue reading Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen
Be Sexually Available to Your Spouse
Somehow, it has become controversial even among some "Christian" women to say that when your husband wants to have sex with you, you should say yes. Scripture says, "Do not deny yourselves to each other, unless you first agree to do so for a while in order to spend your time in prayer; but then … Continue reading Be Sexually Available to Your Spouse
Productive Day
I've been feeling more energetic the past couple of days. I've been creating. I have been getting housework done. I made a big lasagna the other day, so we are eating leftovers tonight. I took A to the fabric store to get thread for her sewing machine. She has her first sewing lesson tomorrow. I … Continue reading Productive Day
Settling In
I can almost run my vacuum! The upstairs is mostly off the floor. We have unpacked so much, and this past weekend we had help. It was wonderful! Today I have a ton of laundry to do. The machines I have at this house play a cute little tune when the load is done. That … Continue reading Settling In
