A Tour of the New Place

This is our new house. Joash and I would like to take you on quick tour.
When you walk in the door we use as our main entrance, you can go up the stairs to the hallway,
 or down the stairs to the basement.
 We will start upstairs. The first room you come to is the playroom. Joash uses this room quite well already. We have misplaced one tractor in the move. I am sure it will show up sometime, but I have yet to find it. Joash has not noticed that it is missing and happily plays with all of his other tractors, cars and trucks.
 The hallway then opens up into the dining area.
 Here is the kitchen from the far wall in the dining area.
 This will be the guest room. "But right now the guest is the new dishwasher," says Joash. It is just waiting for the first cut of silage to be over to be installed.
 The main floor bathroom. That's right. We have a lavender tub. I know you are all really jealous.
 The living room/office. The window on the right looks out over the fields down our road. Joash has already spent a lot of time there watching the tractors and trucks.
 The master bedroom. We have blinds for the windows that are also waiting for the first cut of silage to be over before they are installed.
 Now to the basement. I am only going to show you a few of the rooms. There a storage room and a room with our deep freezer in it. But the other rooms are a bit of a mess yet. Again, waiting for the first cut of silage to be over so our book cases can be put together and those rooms whipped into shape. But for now, here is Joash's room.
 And the downstairs bathroom/laundry room. There a tub on the right side of the dryer.
 Here we are looking out from the porch that leads to what we use as the main entrance. See that lovely garden plot? The previous owners tilled it and everything. I went seed shopping today, so the garden will be going in soon.
 And the reason we moved here, the view of the farm from our driveway. It is wonderful to be his close.

I didn't notice the other day, but I really like the multi coloured toilet downstairs!

This Is Where It Ends by Cindy K. Sproles

When Minerva Jane Jenkins was just fourteen years old, she married a man who moved her to the mountains. He carried with him a small box, which he told her held gold. And when he died fifty years later, he made her promise to tell no one about the box or the treasure it contained. Now at ninety-four, Minerva is nearing the end of what has sometimes been a lonely life. But she's kept her promise. Even so, rumors of hidden gold have a way of spreading, and Minerva is visited by a reporter, Del Rankin, who wants to know more of her story. As an unlikely friendship develops, Minerva is tempted to reveal her secret to Del. But the truth of what's really buried in the box may be hidden even from her. I really enjoyed this book. It is quality historical fiction with a strong narrative voice. I really liked the characters and it was interesting to see how all of the secrets they carried with them affected them. I enjoyed the relationships between the characters and how the setting was

The Best Summer of Our Lives by Rachel Hauck

  Twenty years ago, the summer of '77 was supposed to be the best summer of Summer Wilde's life. She and her best friends, Spring, Autumn, and Snow--the Four Seasons--had big plans. But those plans never had a chance. After a teenage prank gone awry, the Seasons found themselves on a bus to Tumbleweed, "Nowhere," Oklahoma, to spend eight weeks as camp counselors. All four of them arrived with hidden secrets and buried fears, and the events that unfolded in those two months forever altered their friendships, their lives, and their futures. Now, thirtysomething, Summer is at a crossroads. When her latest girl band leaves her in a motel outside Tulsa, she is forced to face the shadows of her past. Returning to the place where everything changed, she soon learns Tumbleweed is more than a town she never wanted to see again. It's a place for healing, for reconciling the past with the present, and for finally listening to love's voice. This was an enjoyable book to r

The Wind Blows in Sleeping Grass by Katie Powner

A fter years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass--a place he never expected to see again. It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him. Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. I really enjoyed this book. The characters in it were interesting and unique. While some thing
