For Today...

Outside my Window...a beautiful sun-shiny day.  The only disappointment about the weather is that it's supposed to get up into the low 70s...I'm ready for it to stay down in the 60s and 50s.

I am thinking...that my friend, whose son was just murdered in front of his wife, is grieving and needs so much prayer.


From the learning rooms...the usual for my last homeschooler, Jenna, who is a Senior this year...Bible, American Government, Composition, Current Events, Far Above Rubies (life skills), Marine Biology and Art/Nature Journal.


I am thankful for...a wonderful church home; 24 years w/my wonderful husband.

From the kitchen...Asian style chicken and rice for lunch.  Fast fooding it tonight a the vollyball game. 

I am wearing...jeans, one of my many comfy, cozy Lakeside hoodies, hair in a headband and bare feet.


I am reading...the e-book Homestead Simplicity.  Lovely.

I am hoping...be able to get some household things accomplished before I have to pick up my order at the food co-op this afternoon.

I am creating...an attitude of peace for my home.

I am hearing...the radio, the clothes dryer and Jenna asking me a homeschool question.

Around the house...trying to decide if the girls and I can afford to give surprise support to a friend of ours who had to rush to Atlanta b/c her only son was killed defending his wife against would-be robbers this past weekend.  His funeral is Wednesday, in Atlanta, and she is there alone not only having to deal w/the tragic death of her 22 yr old son, but she has to contend w/a hostile ex-husband, too.


One of my favorite things...I just got back from a morning trip to our local Old Order German Baptist farm stores.  I LOVE to go there, and do just about every week for cheap groceries (one family has a scratch n dent store), brown eggs and whole milk right off the farm and another Old Order lady has a bulk store in a building attached to her home. 


A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...Homeschool, homeschool volleyball games, the possible trip to Atlanta for the funeral...celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary TODAY!!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

Where it all begain...24 years ago TODAY!!

Hi Kim~

Happy Anniversary to YOU! October is such a pretty time of the year for a wedding. I love that picture by the way. :-)

Would you mind sending me a PM with the name of that German Baptist store you went to? I would love to visit it sometime. I'm looking for a source of fresh milk until we can have our own. I might even know them. I think I have told you that many of my family members (on my Gram's side) are in the church. Have you heard of Root Farms? They are also GB ( from CA I think) and sell things in bulk. They're coming in November to Covington. It might be something you're interested in. :-)

Hello, I popped over from the SWD. We share the same last name, so your blog caught my eye.

Congratulations on your 24th Anniversary!

That is terrible about your friend's son. Praying for them.
