Has it really???

Posted in A day in the life

Has it really been that long since I last blogged?
OOPS!!

Life has a way of keeping you busy, eh?!

We lost our computer for almost 3 weeks. It's nice to have it back. I missed being able to be online. I found that I missed it most for school items. I also found that I didn't miss the distraction that the computer is. It was kinda nice not having it as an option. Kinda like when we first moved to Tennessee. No computer and no tv. There was so much work to be done then, that we really didn't have time for it anyway. But, slowly, those things crept into our lives again. They've taken up residence in our world. Not either of them are bad things...they just are things that ask for our attention...and we seem to all too willingly give it to them.

Honey's birthday was Monday. It was the 20th time I've been able to spend his special day with him. 20 years. And my love for him grows stronger and deeper with each passing day.

Rebecca has been working for a friend of ours. What an answer to prayer this job is! She's close to home, in a safe environment and making good money. All while still being able to do her schoolwork. What a blessing!!!

Thomas is gearing up for hunting season. My boy is sooooo all boy. Yet, he still will sit with me and let me rub his head. He's such a blessing to his family. He's also taken out several ground hogs lately. Quite the "shot" he is!

Natalie is helping me get ready for the craft sale that is coming up this weekend at our local rec center. She and I did the craft sale two years ago and she's been telling me for the past 5 months she'd like to do it again. So, we made soap and are now making other items to sell. I look forward to the day with her!

Mary is blazing through her school work. For her age, she's supposed to be in 1st grade. However, 1st grade work doesn't really challenge her. So, she's in 2nd grade...and sometimes, I don't see the challenge there either. What a little genius! :) Nah, she's just gifted and the 4th child in our family. She's been "in school" for a long time now!

The logging is going nicely...now that the rain has finally taken a break. What a difference it's making up top. We didn't want the front to change in appearance, but the back sure is changing! We walked through the woods for awhile this past weekend.  What a beautiful farm the Lord has blessed us with!

I love the time change! It's now so much easier to get to bed on time!!! I wish the time would now stay the same. No more changing.... ;)

I'm off now to get some cookies started. I'm making them up now and will bake them on Friday. It will be so easy to pull them out Friday to bake once they are already formed into cookies and frozen. Lots to do before the sale on Saturday...best get to it! :)
