Little things

~ got TWO couch covers for the loveseat today at a yard sale (only 5$!), which match my existing couch and chair covers, so no more white sheet on the loveseat!





~ the boys spent a good portion of the day baking cookies and coffee cake in the easy bake oven with no argueing!





~ walked again today with G, the boys, and Wally. I hope we can keep this up!





~ I made Liam a "coonskin" cap today, which he has been wanting for aaaaaages- ever since we read "Where the red fern grows". He still wants a REAL one, but one made from funfur will do for now.





~ We had some cloud cover and rain and wind yesterday from Hurricane Gustav (ok, ok, so it was a storm depression by the time it reached us) but today was marvelously sunny and warm.

~ glo sticks make for really neat pictures

Liam's wish

Image
Liam's wish is a full scottish kilt outfit. He's been asking for a few years for this now, but kilts are pretty dear, and just not very practical. Soo, about a month ago, G and I were at an auction, when this wool handmade very old kilt came up for auction. G bid on it, and won it for not very much money at all! Liam was thrilled about it. It's miles too big, but it'll fit him someday LOL we improvised for the rest of the outfit, and he was laughing so hard at his "sporran"~ a persian cat webkinz.

It's official! I'm heading East.

Image
 G has been transferred. His company is opening a new branch in New Brunswick, and he's been chosen to move there and open and run it.  I have such mixed feelings about this. I can see the "leading" in it, how God has been slowly paving the way. I can't WAIT to live where I can go to the beach, have so many bible conferences close by, and just be "down east". I am also dragging my feet, because in spite of having wanted to go back since I left, I have my sister and so many great friends here. It's hard to go to a new place and start over, especially when you are leaving behind people you love.  It will be nice to raise my boys in the east, but they too will be leaving their friends, and really what they've always known. We've been in Ontario for 9 years now!  I am proud of my husband, that he works hard and it is recognized.

ten tasty things

 I like food. I like trying new tastes, textures, and flavours. Food is a central part of life for most people, and I am no exception! I started thinking the other day about what MY favourite things to eat are. It's really hard to pinpoint an absolute favourite, something I could eat all the time and never tire of it. I don't think I can do it.  I decided to make myself a list of my ten most favourite foods. It was much, much harder than I'd anticipated! 1. Roast beef dinner (OK, I cheated on this one.) 2. scones 3. Lobster with butter 4. beef stew 5. thin crispy fried pork chops 6. cheesecake 7. scallops 8. ham 9. cheese 10.sub from subway
