It is still dark and dreary. So, I thought I would pep it up with this!

Finished with The Well-Educated Mind Dramas!

It took me a bit over a year with many breaks, but I finished the Dramas in the list in The Well-Educated Mind by Susan Wise-Bauer!

Amazing Grace in the Life of John, Austin, and Monica

Amazing Grace in the Life of John, Austin, and Monica, originally uploaded by carolfoasia.

I was preparing for co-op teaching on the life of John Newton, but I put it all aside so we could have Austin and Monica over for a delightful lunch and four hours of talking about God's AMAZING GRACE in both of their lives. It was a delightful way to spend an afternoon. I wished i had taken a picture of them, but this will have to do!

Ester

I rode my bike to Melinda's for lunch and went to Ester's place at Stoneybrook for a few hours. We had a nice visit. She loves to look out the window at the birds on her feeder. No birds in this shot, but I thought it was a nice composition.

Teala the Eskimo

Teala came over for dinner and Survivor. We bundled up to watch it in our cold bedroom. I thought she looked so cute!

The Struggle to Spring

Spring is almost upon us. This bloomed but was beaten down by the rain, hail, and snow. Now, it is making another heroic attempt to strain toward the sunshine.

Teenager Tea Time

This afternoon, Paul was typing his paper, and I was listening to my Bible on DVD. He was looking poorly, and I wasn't feeling so chipper either. So, I asked him, "Would you like some tea?" He said, "SURE!"

We used to have regular "tea times" when he was smaller, but we haven't done it for quite a long time. It was lovely. (except he didn't want his picture taken since he is a teenager now)

We went from snow, to rain, to hail, to snow, to sunshine all in one day!
