Well, as much as I have loved HSB, I think it's pretty much time to say goodbye to posting on here. However, I will still be keeping my account for comments, and PM's, and might post sometimes! :-)
God bless!

Well, I didn't get into either of the ASL courses I was hoping too! :-( They are all filled up. :-(
Ah well! I still got into the dance class.
And I was praying that if God wanted me to get into the ASL class He would make a way, so I guess He has other plans! :-)

Let's see... ;-)
I don't have my babysitting job anymore... (Long story, but I left on good terms, and she's gonna use me as a regular babysitter...).
Today I applied to our community college to get into a ASL course, and a Social and Folk Dance course! :-) (Joy's going to do the Dance course with me... :-)). I won't find out if I got into the ASL course though until like the night before because since I'm a Home Schooler, I get to take the courses for free, and people who get to take it for free are the last ones they put in the class, so unless there are seats free, I won't get in... But there are two different classes for it, so hopefully I'll get into one of them! :-) God's will be done! :-)
But that would all start in September... :-)
Dad started bee collecting for real today... I went with him, and we got a couple nests... :-) (We also went to lunch! ;-)).
Well, see ya everyone! :-)

This post is for Maddie!! :-)
Sorry I haven't posted in forever!!! And sorry I haven't replied to all the wonderful comments I have gotten! :-/

I've been pretty busy cause I got a new Babysitting job where I work for two days a week for 6 hours each for a little 4-year-old girl, and a 9-month-old boy! :-) (Although this past week I only worked on Monday in the afternoon...). So I'll be doing that until the end of August, so who knows if I'll be able to post again until October... (September is Bee Season...).

This afternoon I am going to be talking to HannahBeth on the phone!!! Yay!! I can't wait!!!! :OD
I also have a bunch of letters to write, (one to you too Maddie! :-))... :-)

I've also been busy with one of the forum's I'm on. I was made a moderator not that long ago, (which was exciting for me! :-)), and have been enjoying that! :-)
My own forum will be posted about soon! :-)

Well, have a good day!!

Hello All!
Sorry I never posted about our homeward trip from IL yet! I shall do so now, because we went to a wedding I want to post about! :-)

After we left that Sunday in IL, we drove to Indiana and stayed the night there. The next morning we had breakfast at a Bob Evens, and then headed to visit with a couple who live in back of a place where Mom and Dad used to live. They were very good, kind friends to my parents, and Mom and Dad were really glad to see them again, and visit with them. :-)

Mom and Dad's old house -



While we were there we visited a quarry (sp?) that Dad used to go too all the time! :-)

The path -


The quarry -


Me walking next to the quarry -


Mom and Dad in front of the quarry -


Josiah and Kay looking down - Look how clear the water is!! :-)


Annette - (Sorry, I can't remember their last name! *Blush* So we just call them what Mom and Dad always call them!).
Since Annette can't walk to good, they take the golf cart down the path! :-) (Although they can't make it all the way to the quarry. :-/).
Isn't that sweet? :-)


Don and Annette - :-)


Mom and Dad and Don and Annette - :-)


All of us except Mom (who is taking the picture! ;-)) -


Kay with a little kitty who is living around Mom and Dad's old house! :-) (Don is feeding it! :-)) -


After that we headed out to visit some friends, (whom we had never met before), and had a nice time visiting with them! :-) (Thanks girls, for having us over!! :-) It was so nice to meet you all!! :-)).

The girls -


The girls again (and a few boys in the side! ;-)) -


Our wonderful Mothers - :-)


I think it was the next day that we stopped at one of the great lakes! :-)

Mom and Dad in front of Lake Erie - :-)


After that (I think...), we went to Niagara Falls! :-)

Walking there (Aren't the trees lovely? :-)) -



The Falls -


Me in front of the falls - :-)


The Falls again -


Looking down from the look out point (Isn't that freaky? ;-)) -


Us on the Maid of the Mist - :-)


The Falls -


Me on a walk we took. We were very tired! - ;-)


Aw nuts! ;-) -


The Falls -


Joy in front of the Falls -


That night we went and visited some people who Mom and Dad went to Seminary with! :-) They took us out to supper, and then we had Strawberry short cake at their house! :-) As like all the hotels were full, we ended up sleeping on their living room floor on mattresses, (And I think Josiah slept on the sofa! ;-)).
Here are some pictures from that evening -

Josiah and their youngest son Evan (we didn't get any pictures of their oldest son, Nathan...) -


Mrs. M. :-) -


Dad and Mr. M. :-) -


I felt like I was stepping back in time to the pictures of when Dad and Mom used to hang out with Mr. and Mrs. M.! Hanging around in their kitchen, felt like I was in one of the pictures! It was kinda funny! ;-)

The next morning Mr. M. showed us a lookout point, and then the church where he preaches. Then we headed home! :-)

Well, there you go! :-) Now it will take me forever to post out the wedding probably! :-P Oh well! ;-)
