  • Who Is John Galt?

              I finished reading my 17th book of the year one evening last week.  Honestly?  I’m glad to have this lengthy book behind me.       When I first started reading  Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, I was rather intimidated.  The book runs an incredible 1,069 pages and this version is printed in a small […]

  • Marvelous Monday – Foreign Language

          Foreign languages.  Not.  My.  Forte.  Definitely.  I had two years of high school Spanish, and my husband studied American Sign Language for two years at the college level.  Neither of us have retained much.  I suppose it’s a real case of “use it or lose it”.  I will confess right up front, when it […]

  • Saturday Acrostic

         SATURDAY     S – Since it’s been so long, I thought I’d just recap the last week or so.  We’ve been blessed with work here!  My husband was blessed with a twelve hour overtime shift.  Overtime has become a rare commodity, and we are thankful that the overtime came his way.  The May rains and […]

  • Marvelous Monday – Logic

       My family does not “classically” educate.  That is, we do not use the Classical Education method.  Personally, I think we’re pretty classic, in our own eclectic way.  I know that those who do prefer the Classical Education model, consider Logic as a separate and distinct subject.  I’m pretty sure you can read more about […]

  • For The Moms

         Have a blessed Mother’s Day.  Be encouraged! God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!Proverbs 31:27 

  • Laura’s Pecan Puffs

               These are one of the most delicious cookies in the world!  Oh, my, my, my, my, they are so good!  If it weren’t for the pecans, they’d melt in your mouth!  The recipe was graciously given to me by a young girl, who is now a young woman.  She brought them to […]

  • Beautiful Music – Joyful Contentment

               The day is mostly sunny and quite warm, but there’s a delightful light wind blowing.  Storm clouds are, once again, gathering on the horizon, but the sun is bright for the time being.       My windows are open and my home, normally filled with recorded music, is instead filled with the wonderful […]

  • For Today’s Tea – Lemon Poppy Seed Scones

        Just before lunch Monday, I mixed up a batch of Lemon Poppy Seed Scones.  They mix up and bake quickly.  I left these to cool on the stove top until after lunch, and then placed them on a pretty tray, ready for our mid-afternoon tea and read aloud time.  Made from whole wheat flour […]

  • Marvelous Monday – Science

              We are young earth, seven day creationists here.  You need to know that right up front.  Our children know that the history of the earth’s origins is found in Genesis.  They also know that they live in a fallen, sin-filled world and that some scientists have turned their hearts against God, pursuing […]
