Yup, I'm done homeschooling for another year!  Grade 3 went very well!  Each year it has only gotton better and each year I'm convinced it is the best thing for me and my children. 

I was able to talk to my long lost sister last night after not talking to her for about a week or so....that's a long time for us.  She just moved to Pensacola, FL and you know how the whole moving, setting up, phone hook up, etc. goes...  I had to call her cell phone in order to talk to her $$$$$$$.  Sorry sis! 

My dad came down to visit with us yesterday and he is leaving in the morning.  It was nice to visit with him again.  I'm a little worried about his health, so I'll have to pray a little more often for him.  He has finally got a job! Praise the Lord!  He is excited about it.  He will be starting on Monday. 

Do you ever think you know everything there is to know about someone and then they surprise you with something.  That's how it was today talking with my dad.  I didn't realize stuff about him, like where he lived as a child, I knew it was in Moncton but I didn't know exactly where....weird!  I never stopped to think about it but he and his 6 other brothers and sisters slept in one big room... a bed for the boys and a bed for the girls.  For some reason, I just never thought about it like I did today.  We are truly a blessed people.  I have sooooo much compared to what most and some had and have.  God is SO good to me! 

A song that comes to mind that is so true and says so much is So Much To Thank Him For.  Some of the words are: 

When I look around and see,

The good things He does for me.

I know I'm unworthy of them all.

But His blessings He freely gives,

I owe, my life to Him,

I've got so much to thank Him for.

I've got so much to thank Him for

So much, to praise Him for,

You see, He's been so good to me

...

That's all I can remember right now but it is a beautiful song.

It's getting late and I should go get some sleep.
