Written by a woman who had been captured by Indians and seen her youngest child (6 years old) die a slow lingering death from a gunshot wound and spent several months nearly starving in captivity until she and her remaining 2 children were redeemed: The Lord hath showed me the vanity of these outward things. That they [...] It’s a season of change around here. Aside from Tax Season being over, a big change and adjustment in and of itself, we’re also seeing lots of little milestones in our kids lives the past week or so: Judah has finished reading the 20 books we set as his goal for him to get his own Bible. (An [...] Seriously, if you haven’t read any of the 8 or so noves by Jasper Fforde, then you’re missing out. I have never seen an imagination so bizarre, and yet oddly educated and strangely enthralling. I’m sure it’s not for everybody, but I think that if you love to read novels, you should give these a try! I [...] I baked a loaf of no-knead sourdough bread (for sandwiches for Parish meeting tomorrow), an apple pie (also for Parish meeting), and an apple tart (to celebrate the end of Tax Season and to take to Rose and David’s for dinner tonight) today. Ezra told me, “You’re like a bakery, Mom.” [...] No, not Harry Potter, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susannah Clark. My friend Amanda recommended it and I got it out of the library.

It’s not a gripping page-turner (a good thing for my family since it’s over 700 pages long), [...] On a lonely tax season evening the other night I finally got a chance to watch Becoming Jane, which I had borrowed from the library. For what it’s worth, I enjoyed it. I decided before-hand that I would just try to watch the movie as a piece of fiction, not as an autobiographical documentary, and as [...] A friend is getting married. Her caterer cancelled due to illness a week before the wedding. My sister-in-law stepped in to do the catering, and another friend volunteered a day to help her prep the food today. She called me, and the upshot is that I had 7 children at my house (not including unborn son) from [...] All Done! (with the painting)
The boys cleaning up the tape and newspaper [...] Michael [...] That’s right, I decided to take a couple days off of school this week for Easter week (I’m doing a year-round school schedule, anyway) – so that I can paint. And the first coat is done – a coat of primer. Now the question is: Another coat of primer, then paint, or just do the paint [...] I hate to admit it, but I work best toward deadlines. Not to say I generally meet deadlines, just that if I don’t have one, whatever-it-is doesn’t tend to get done for.. well, years. Don’t get me wrong – I start making preparations early enough – back in college I would check out books for my term [...] |
