Now I can't ever again say, “I never win anything”.  I took my 9 year old son to a cooking school (kind of like Emeril's show).  It cost $30 for both of us to get in.  Now that's pretty extravagant for our family.  But, when we got there, they loaded us down with great samples and … [Read more…]

The past couple of weeks have been very busy.  One of the biggest things that happened was that we put my father in-law in a nursing home.  I posted earlier that he has alzheimers.  He had been living with my sister in-law.  It got to where she couldn't take care of him anymore.  It was … [Read more…]

If you get a chance, take a look at my other blog.  I've been working for the past month on keeping a record of what I do in my preschool Bible class.  We have been studying Gideon.  We finished that study Sunday AM.  This week we start on Samsaon.  I posted some pictures so you … [Read more…]

Here is a picture I took last week at my great nephew's 2nd birthday party.  He thought it was great fun to release them.   Just thought you might enjoy it too.

Today was really beautiful.  We spent another great morning playing soccer. Then, there was nothing to do.  I literally didn't know what to do.  That worries me.  If  I have free time, I obviously have forgotten something that I should be doing.    After messing with my website a little, the kids hanging around me … [Read more…]

Today, a sales lady came by.  She gave me enough notice that I was able to clean the part of the house she would be seeing.  When she came to the door, the 2 year old was asleep, the 14 year old was working on Algebra, the 9 year old was working on his Saxon … [Read more…]

I didn't get much sleep Saturday night.  So, I took a nap Sunday afternoon.  Of course, that just meant that I wasn't sleepy Sunday night.  normally that starts a vicious cycle that is painful to break.  But, I decided to change things up a little.   What did I do?  I usually go grocery shopping … [Read more…]
