Friday night........


Our 4th child graduates! We have had a big celebration for each one of them. We think it is cause to celebrate!
We rent the community house way in advance, we order a cake the Monday before, and we look for nice outfits to wear for 3 months!
We send out invitations and our friends and family come..........we eat cake, listen to Buddy Davis sing, hear messages on home-schooling and get all dressed up.
Olivia *catered* it for us this year. We usually just have sandwiches ala Wal-Mart deli, but not so, this year! She did a great job on the food and decoration.......the lady she works for let her in her *catering* warehouse and gave Olivia permission to use anything she wanted!

Daniel has for years, liked Titanic history, so we naturally decorated accordingly. (or tried to)
I guess it's kind of hard to sum things up on a blog post........everything that has happened the past 18 years, the last month, the last week, now........last night!

Well, here we are. Now I will just have two girls left to home-school. I am already looking at their books to start back in August sometime.

Grandpa and I were so proud of Daniel as well as all of you. He has finally finished the prescribed course and now is a graduate. Doesn't seem possible in many ways. He is a fine Grandson.

Olivia did do a great job with the catering, the food and decorations were wonderful.

Dad and Mom did a great job not only raising Daniel but the four older than him also, as well as the two coming behind. A joy well done, Dad and Mom. You have much to be thankful for as do Grandpa and I, so much--------. love you, Grandma

Congratulations to you all!!! You are such a wonderful friend Mrs. Mo. I am truly thankful. I hope I do as great a job with my kids. :)
I am sorry I missed you the night you called, we had a storm and our phones went out that night.
You can call anytime!

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
