Life is Good

Yes, I do know how terribly boring I am. This blog is really suffering. Bah!

That doesn't mean I don't THINK about writing, and I'm still reading when I can.

But that thing called Life? Yeah. Very busy, satisfying, intriguing, entertaining. Keeps me on my toes. And away from my blog.

We've been massively busy with houseconcerts and Halloween parties, choir practices, speech and debate classes, regular homeschool meetings and classes, mini-farm life, making new friends, keeping up (as best we can) with the old ones, and just plain surviving.

New things? A pig named Frankie (get it? Frankie?), the loss of our dear dog Indiana, the end of the gardening season (though I did pull a plump carrot from the earth yesterday. Remind me to plant more of those next year...and keep the goats out of them). Oh! Goats. We sold half of our herd and are now down to three--two does and a wether. The Baby's tearin' it up with her reading lessons, thanks to Bard. We're looking forward to an awesome house concert with Jason Harrod this Saturday (he'll also be in church on Sunday, singing for prelude and offeratory). Speaking of church, we had an incredible Communion Sunday with footwashing that really spoke to me and called for some changes in my life. Bo and I are now sponsors of the youth fellowship and I'm teaching Jr. High Sunday School (resources about Fair Trade would be nice, thank you).

Kids have been doing chores around the house with more frequency, which is a big help. We instituted an allowance system, which seems to be working fairly well.

We're saving money for a new computer. I mean a NEW one that has all the bells and whistles.

And that's about it. Life is good.

Even if this blog is boring. :-)
