It has been awhile since I have updated things here.  I have been soo busy with things and spending time with my family.  This summer has gone by soo quickly but has been a blessing.  So many blessings here. First my oldest is stil in the US Navy and doing very well, my 2nd son who is 19 yrs old joined the US AirForce and he is right now waiting for his orders on when he is to leave for bootcamp.  He scored really well on his ASVAB test also.  He could gotten into rocket science if he wanted to but that is just not his cup of tea.  I can't remember all he was wanting to do but they were all good jobs and also he had failed his color blind test.  I am still homeschooling but now I am down to one.  She is the baby of the family and she just started highschool (still homeschooling)

I have been with family since June of this summer,  my parents came and visited and helped me purge things out of my life physically, mentally and especially spiritually.  The visit was a beautiful blessing. Plus my parents gave me some good books for homeschooling.  I have been blessed this year with a garden small one and a container garden. It has been a blessing to our family supplying us with fresh produce. I have also been learning to can and dry and freeze things poperly with my food saver roflol.  My dh has been blessing me with new toys to make my life a bit easier.  I have been enjoying the sunshine and my clothes line, for I have been using it every time I wash clothes.  I have also learned to make my own hand soaps, laundry soap, deodorant, and hair conditioners.  My daughter is not happy with the changes but yet she is learning.  We are simplifying out lives here and spending more time with the scriptures and almost next to nothing with the TV here we dont' care for it.  woo hoo that is a great thing.  We have a lot of new books to read and more on the way .  I am excited about this new year of new things and learning with just my daughter.  What a blessing
