So who has checked out Google Earth for the first time? Did you like it?
Who has great 4th of July plans? We have plans for the evening but nothing for the day time, except to grill hotdogs, per the girls request.
Who has had three really bad nights sleep in a row? I have.
So yesterday I was watching the girls play in the backyard and what a saw were two bicycles parked side by side and with a pile of moss and grass and dirt behind them. Princess was scooping it up with a pitchfork and holding her nose and saying “that stinks”. I died laughing when I realized what they were doing. The bikes were horses and she was mucking out the stable. What a hoot. Well, I guess when you can’t have a horse you do the next best thing.
I finished a book tonight that wiped me out. It is called Saint Ben by John Fischer. It was a really good book but with a very sad ending that had me literally sobbing. Now my eyes are puffy and I can’t see straight. Now I am reading the sequel called “The Saints’ and Angels’ Songs”. I have been reading a lot of books lately, mostly because there is nothing on tv worth watching.
Still plugging away at school. We will take a break when our exchange student gets here. We will be participating in many of the field trips and activities. We are all looking forward to it because it will be like having a vacation without leaving our home. It will be much cheaper too.
My struggle of the week: discontent
Susan
Love your honesty. My struggle this week is impatience.

So I downloaded google earth and this morning I’ve done nothing else. It’s fascinating! The Puget Sound is so amazing to look at. We’re going boating tomorow and I got a real sense of where we’ll be. (which is hard when you’re surounded by water)
4th plans? Carnival and parade here in town. Eating junky food at the carnival and watching the fireworks. fun filled!
That mucking the stables game is hilarious! Thanks for visiting my blog.
Okay, that’s a first for me in the world of imaginary play! Too funny…
What? Only ONE struggle this week? I’ve definitely had my share of stress, impatience, and anger this week alone. I really need to get back into God’s Word on a consistent and daily (or twice/thrice daily) basis.
I’m boycotting books for myself. I’m too busy and books have a way of distracting me and making me ignore the rest of my life. Although I am reading “Mom After God’s Own Heart” by Elizabeth George. Her books have always been a tremendous blessing to me.
Hope you’re having a great end of the week, my friend!
