Today, we volunteered with others in the community (including four other homeschool families) at the Linn-Benton Food Share. We prepared 9,000 mailers for mailing and had a great time in the process. We met a new family who wants to start an English country dance club (think Jane Austen flicks)!

The third Sunday in Advent is the Shepherds' candle. It is also known as the joy candle so we sang "Joy to the World" by candlelight tonight.
349 - Backyard Buck

We were all excited to spy this four point buck in our backyard today. According to you Easterners, it is considered an eight point buck!
We just finished the seventh season of Monarch of the Glen, and this guy reminded me of "Big Eric"!

347 - 4-H Woodworking Class
My boys went to 4-H today with their dad who is my guest photographer because I stayed at home and vegged on the couch today. They are making tool boxes.
The Woodworking Class
John, the instructor, is on the right. He is a WONDERFUL man who is an elder at our church. He is a good teacher and so gentle with the kids. George has loved assisting him in class.

345 - In Memoriam
We commemorated my mom's life with a memorial service. It was simply beautiful in every way from beginning to end. Good-bye dear Mom and thank you.
