    ~ Show and Tell ~ Blast From The Past ~

     

    It's that time again....

    Handsome came across some pics from quite awhile back and had to show me,  This is a pic of me 16 years ago holding my 1ds.  Boy does that make me realise how much time has passed.  I would show a more elabberate S&T but I am trying to tie up the seed packaging for our garden seed sales before my MIL leaves this coming week.  I sure am missing getting around bloggyland hope to get around more soon.

    If you want to join us  just....


    ~Make a Show and Tell Post and make sure it is wholesome.  It can be pretty much what ever you want to share.  It could be about you ...or your family ....or what is going on in your homeschooling.

    ~Some how link me ( Canadagirl ) so others will know where to go to join S&T.

    ~Come back to me and  let me know you posted your S&T by using Mr. Linky. ( I need you  to tell me each week that you want to participate  , okay ?  )

    ~If you want the S&T button to put on your blog go HERE

    ~Then

    ">please go visit other gals wonderful Show and Tells !  Oh,  don't forget to comment.  EVERYONE  loves comments.


     



    "If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them be." ...Charlotte Mason

    At first I thought you had short hair in that picture, then realized you just had it pulled back. I think a short cut would look really cute on you. :-)

    I love looking at old photos of dd. What wonderful memories.

    Mary, you posted on my blog "You have a very sparkling personality and now I know why." Is that because of my comment about being hit by a car? LOL! :-)

    I don't think you've hardly changed! Come on, Mary, share your secrets of youth!
    I'd love to see a picture of your seeds that you are selling, like what's the packaging look like? What seeds are they? Very interesting! (This would make a great show and tell!!!!)

    Mary,

    Don't you wish our kids stay at that age forever? I am having a hard time letting go of the string that is attached to my 13 year old son. It is hard to believe he will be a freshman in college 4 years from now.

    Handsome and Me




    First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 19 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 17, 15, 11, and 9. 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. 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 on The House That God Built 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. This blog is the home of Show and Tell Friday's and Tightwad Tuesdays. I hope you decide to join in on the fun ! Blessings and ((HUGS)) In Him<>< -Mary
