Great balls of fire! That's a list. I hope you get to the beach and can cool off some under a big tree. I'll not be posting until late. I was working on my mom's blog again. It's almost done. Have a great day!

Looks like your day is as busy as mine. At least you have a reward at the end by going to the beach. I went this morning to do my step mother's hair. I usually do it on Fridays, but Ashley was sick, so I waited until today. While I was there, my dad asked me if I could put a new kitchen sink faucet in their 5th wheel camper, so I did that, and just now got home. My family and I are now off to go to a local town's festival and then to our counties 4-H fair. Yipee! That will be fun. Hope you enjoy your restful, playtime.

Blessings,
Lori

Yes we have 2 cherry trees. The sad thing is we have to chop one down to put up our wood shed. It is the only spot. )0= I cross out on the post as I get or my kids get them done. (0=

Good for you Mary, it looks like you got everything done today, and crossed off your list before company arrives. Today was"scrub day" at my house too. We don't have any company coming anytime soon, but I did have a few deep cleaning jobs that needed my attention. My least favorite is scrubbing our tile shower. But it's done-YEAH!!! Hope you had a delightful time at the beach!

Blessings~

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 9, and 7. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
