It's Been a While

Sorry to all of you who check frequently for updates. It has been a while, I know. Probably my longest break since I got back to blogging after Joash was born. There are two really good reasons for my vacation from blogging.

First, I was sick. Feverish for four days. All I did from Sunday until yesterday was sleep, eat (because I knew I should, not because I was hungry) and feed my son. Oh and I did laundry, because the poor boy needed some clothing. It was pretty bad. Had I still been teaching, I would have needed a sub for at least three days. The most I ever missed while teaching was two days in a row. But finally now I am feeling so much better. I think I had a combination of things, but I will spare you the details. I did try out the walk-in clinics here on the island, since I couldn't get into see my doctor, and let me tell you, I learned a lot that day. But, I did finally see a doctor and got some meds which have greatly helped my recovery.

Second, our internet was acting really dumb for about the last week. It was really spotty. When it worked, it was fine, but then it wouldn't work for hours on end. Finally, we called and a nice technician came and found the problem and now it has been working great. So hopefully Skype will work well now once again.

So, we will get back on track with our blogging now. Stay tuned.

In the Corn

Mataya got to go with her daddy to check on the corn. It will be ready to harvest soon! They decided to take some pictures. Mataya was so excited, she forgot to let daddy be in the picture. There we go. I thought this was sweet picture of a girl and her daddy.

Emissary by Thomas Locke

When you open the pages of Emissary by Thomas Locke, you enter a world quite different from our own. Magic is practised, but only in certain places and ways. There are legends and myths of what happened thousands of years ago. And a dark, evil force is slowly threatening the peace this world has known for the last thousand years. And the one person who may have the answer to it all is an unlikely hero named Hyam. As a child, Hyam studied in the Long Hall with the magicians who know and practice magic. His gift was to be able to learn languages with an astounding speed. Yet, he was dismissed from the hall and only returned when his mother begged him too on her death bed. Hyam soon discovers he has powers beyond the mastery of language and understand the the fate and future of this world rests in his hands. Along the way, he teams up with Trace, an older magician who leaves his post as Master of a Long Hall to assist Hyam. He also frees a woman named Joelle and their friendship ...

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...
