January Snow

Woodstock received snow again on Sunday, January 9. It is now Tuesday and the snow is still on the ground. The temperatures have not gotten above freezing and the forecast does not predict that they will until Friday. Schools have been closed and will be again tomorrow. Businesses, government, everything is closed.

However, we homeschool so school is in session. So, today after the school work was done, my girls wanted to play a game. What?! A game! I have been begging for weeks to play a game. Explanation here: I used a lot of educational games in our schooling to make things more interesting and to use what they had learned and for them to see they actually did learn! Now that Hannah is a senior and Moriah is in ninth grade they don't like to play games anymore.

We did play a game (and they got excited every time they were asked a question about something we actually studied this year). In fact, we had to stop so I could cook dinner; then stop again to eat dinner.

Being stuck at home because of 6 plus inches of snow on the ground is not such a bad thing as far as I am concerned. Besides, the snow is very pretty to look at!

Another "Last"

My last child now has a driver's license. I knew this day would come, and it is a bit freeing for me, but... So many of the things in my life are coming to an end this year. I now have no more children that I have to teach to drive. First thing Moriah said when we got in the car after she passed her driver's test was that I am no longer in instructor mode, now I am in critique mode. As nice as that sounds, to me it is just another "last" I will be going through over the next few months.  Sure, it will be nice to have another person to send to the store for a few items when I don't want to get out. And it will be nice that she can take herself to dance and bring herself home instead of having to stop whatever I may be doing in order to make the run. I'm sure she will be glad not to have to rely on having someone be able to take her where she wants/needs to go. However, while her world is opening up for her, mine is going through another closing. I am reli...

June 20, 2023

 June 20, 2023 my life changed forever. My David left this earth for his heavenly home.  He met Jesus face to face. His faith became sight. Unexpected.  Too soon. Unimaginable pain. Unbearable grief. I must cling to God’s will is always best.

Interesting Happenings

Last week the South was hit by the worst tornado weather system of the ages. Northern Alabama and north Georgia were devastated. Some cities were almost wiped off the map. The footage on the news was heartbreaking. I know as a Christian our treasures are not to be in our earthly, material possessions. But how do you stand on what used to be your front yard and look at the pieces of rubble that used to be your house and all your belongings, now just a pile of kindling? I cannot image how devastating that must be for those affected. Friday of last week, April 29, heir to the throne of England, Prince William, married Catherine (Kate) Middleton, a commoner. It was the wedding of the century! Of course, that is also what they called the wedding of Prince William's parents, Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, 30 years ago! The ceremony was televised worldwide, naturally. We were up at 5:00am to watch, along with millions of other people around the globe. Talk about a fairy tale! It w...
