Home Sweet Simple Home


All quiet- not quite

Quiet here online
BUT
quite noisy in reality.
Very full days here.
Continuing with the squeezing, squishing and gathering all that we can of these last days before school begins again.
Tonight, right now, it is quiet in the house.
The children are outside.
Mr. Steady is tinkering.
These are the days- the unhurried days filled with promise and family.
We’ll have a campfire and eat our supper around it on tin plates.
Mr. Steady will throw in some cedar chips to remind us of
Up North and we’ll do a bit of star gazing.
We’ll line the tub with a
grit-ring before the night is over.
And tuck in cleaned and scrubbed kiddos for one more night of 30 minute reading before lights out.
Tomorrow we start up our homeschool group for the new school year. Just like in other schools it will be a half day- just wading in and getting use to the new schedule.
The evening will be our very special annual
Back-to-School night here in our yellow townie farmhouse.

Amy,
What do the Michiganers think about Sarah Palin?
Lynne

I like her

I don't know about others in Michigan but I am leaning towards liking her. I watched her speech last nite and was quite impressed.
I continue to wait and see how it all plays out.
The VP debate will be interesting.

Amy,
She is a strong speaker. I think you are right about the debates. We have to see how she thinks on her feet without a prepared talk.

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.

DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
