Every day…and even more often than that…I am so thankful to the Lord that He made me a girl. Boys are rather wonderful, but there is no reason in the world that I want to be one…though I still very glad that the Lord made them. Sometimes I even feel sorry for boys…they don’t ever get to experience the delight of a new skirt or dress! Sure, they get ( Read more... )

This evening, as I was going through the unread posts in my Google Reader, I was excited to see that Susan had blogged...and after reading through the post, I was even more excited! For she had written the post in honor of me! It was just a little one about books and Anne of Green Gables...things that we all know I NEVER write about! I don't think ( Read more... )

I'm sitting at my desk, and through my open window, coupled with the sound of a passing train (I love that sound...remind me someday to tell you why) comes the twitters of birds who are obviously very glad to be alive...you can just tell! And occasionally a deliciously cool breeze blows in, laden with the scents of early spring...mmmmmm (*deep ( Read more... )

So I didn't think that I'd get around to writing this update until at least Wednesday when Thanksgiving Break begins, but yesterday I ended up finishing all my homework that's due on Monday (specifically a "study"/short paper on Christ being "the end of the law" for Romans, and study questions on pneumatology [doctrine of the Holy Spirit] for ( Read more... )

Today was (and still is) a wet day...gloriously so.  The kind that most people call "overcast", but it's not.  A day of mists everywhere, horizons disappearing in the fog.  Wet enough that you'd think it was raining, but there are no raindrops falling, just sprinkles.  If the air were a goblet, it would be overflowing, water dripping down the sides ( Read more... )

I have a little over a week left working here and then I'm off to a wedding for a couple days before going home...but right now I don't really want to go to the wedding.  Not that I have anything against weddings...I don't, I like them and it'll be good to see some of my friends who I haven't seen in a long time...but I just want to go home!    ( Read more... )

I read this at lunch today...

"Mrs. Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies’ eardrops and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods ( Read more... )

Yes... another quiz!  This one is to see "Who are you in Anne's circle of friends?" (in case you don't know, the "Anne" is Anne Shirley from the Anne of Green Gables books...OBVIOUSLY!).  Amazingly enough...though I didn't think I would, I ended up "being" Anne...YAY!   So that supposedly means...I'm "impulsive and imaginative, everywhere you go you ( Read more... )

I seem to write quite a bit about rain...I wonder why that is...?  Hmmmm...

Today was a day unlike any we have back home in less-than-ten-inches-of-rain-a-year land...it was wet and hot and wet.   Off and on, throughout the day...it poured, misted, sprinkled, drizzled, showered...and sometimes it just rained.   During a lull in the downpour, I went ( Read more... )

Okay, I admit it...I stole/borrowed the title of this post from the name of a blog I once happened upon. I didn't read much of the blog or bookmark it or even remember how exactly I found it...so I can't even post a link to it, sorry! But it's not like that is a copyrighted phrase anyway...but even so, if any of you come across a blog by the name " ( Read more... )
