Walking Therein

Blogging, Family and Friends in our lives

Do you ever go to the Friends page on your login page and you have bloggers who have made you their friend, and you don't have time to go look at their blog, so you just add them?
And then you never go and look at their blog. Or, you look real quick and then you don't have time to check again... for - maybe - ever?

Well, I received a comment from an HSB2 blogger today, and I went to her blog. I loved the post she did about things they "shelter" their children from. I have read many similar posts from several of you. I have written a few myself. She did a rather good job of talking about things like TV, going to town, worldly influences and reasons they have home church.  A lot of what she said is how we live, too. Some of it I wish we did more of. It was refreshing.

Of course, I checked my Friends' list on my Homestead blog sidebar, and there she is, right there... and I hadn't visited her blog, as far as I can remember. Pathetic, huh? Actually, it's more my loss, since there are so many blogs out there that are worth a daily read.... Wa-a-a-y too many, I know!!

So, as much as I don't have time to read *all* of your blogs, my friends, I do try to stop by. Sometimes I leave a comment, sometimes I don't. I actually haven't been commenting too much, anyway, let alone actually getting to *read* posts.  I have had to make myself sit down and post or even read the girls' posts (which I find I thoroughly enjoy when I do!).

A local friend who reads my blog emailed me today to see how I was doing, since she noticed I have 20 days left 'til Baby arrives on my counter.  *20 days!* now it's down to 18!!  ... is *that* why I have been going -going -going?? Is that why I am so concerned about getting everything ready, washed, bought, cleaned, etc.??? And, why I haven't blogged much lately.
We *did* get a new laptop; hallelujah; praise the Lord; I am so thankful. I have been on it a bit, but mostly for set-up and file transfers so I can work on school, etc.

I check my Sitemeter Log occasionally, and I am amazed at all the people from all over the world who visit. I see some places that come up every week or so - some I know, some I don't, and I wonder who you are. It is a great thing, to be able to find like-minded friends from all over... I am so glad the girls and I are a part of a blogging community - one that stretches beyond hsb, even. I am glad my family can come over to my blog and the girls' and find out all of the details about what we are doing *on the homestead* and in our faith and homeschool.
I could hardly believe that yesterday marked 1 year of blogging here at hsb. We have made friends. We have met friends IRL. We have grown in homeschooling and the Lord. Thank you for being a part of that!

So, take some time to visit your friends' blogs. Visit a new friend you haven't visited yet. If you don't have a blog, visit some of *my* friends on my sidebar.  Sometimes we just can't get to all of them, and sometimes, we have favorites we get to daily, but it is a good thing to meet and share with others, bless others and let them know someone is listening sometimes. Then again, sometimes, we are the ones that need the visits. I love getting comments. I'm sure you do too. So, Thank you for visiting my blog!

Have a wonderful day!!
JACQUE

Hi Mrs. Dixon, My name is Britta . I am your daughters' friend.

I just posted about modesty over at my blog. If you don't mind, would you please come over and check it out? If you agree with me do you think you might be able to link to me? I am really wanting to get lots of people oppinions on what I wrote.

Have a great rest of the day!

Hello Mrs. Dixon,
It must be so hard to wait these last few weeks to meet your new baby!

Very nice post by the way.

Hi. I'm Marie and I have 2 young children. (6yo and 3.5yo)

I liked browsing through your blog and will probably come back at some point to poke around more on your various categories.

I just started blogging a little over a month ago and am having fun reading everyone's post, collecting friends and making comments. (and of course hoping that when I make entries that I'll receive comments too).

Looking at other blogs helps me see what sorts of things I want to talk about or add (like book lists - I read a lot and would love to do that!)

Well, nice to meet you :)
Marie

Hello There!!

My DS sends his thanks for the birthday wishes!! We had a fun time despite our problems - in fact, it completely changed the way we were thinking!

My foot is getting stronger - I'm doing the physio exercises meticulously! I also saw my oncologist today and have, after a loooong conversation decided to go ahead with the radio-active treatment. I don't have a date set for it yet, but have to have a few tests done beforehand anyway.

Good wishes for the rest of your pregnancy - I'm looking forward to hearing your news!

Huggz to all,
Chrissy

Praying that all goes well with the arrival of your newest one! It's getting really close! I was always terrible at waiting those last two months.
