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!

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...

A Perspective

I have already mentioned my "Word of the Day" screen saver that I have on my laptop that is hooked up to the projector in my room. I am learning that the words go in cycles a bit, so the same word will pop up in several classes during the day. Today's popular word was "entitlement." A fantastic word to share with teenagers who often think they are entitled to a whole lot of stuff. In fact, we as humans often think we are entitled to a whole lot of stuff when really we are fallen people who deserve nothing but death. We so often miss how wonderful and blessed our life really is and we get caught up on the little things. This video sort of puts that in perspective in a rather humorous way. I am by no means promoting this comedian, but if you take what he says to heart, it is so true. We live in an amazing world, created by an amazing God. We really should be happy with the blessing we have been given.

A Little Morning Staycation

So, way back over March Break, the local CBC had several March Break Stay-cation give aways. For the family pass for a Cows Creamery tour, you had call in a moo. My husband called from the barn and was one of the entries chosen to be played on the radio. And he name was also one of the random entries drawn to win the prize. We were supposed to go on a tour of the creamery during March Break, but a crazy snowstorm hit that day. so they told us just to stop in any time during the summer to use our pass. So, we finally went today.  Before we left, we told Joash we had a surprise for him today. "What is it?" he asked. We said that he would have to wait and see. "Is it a silage cart?" he asked. Can you tell what our dinner time conversations have been about lately? We had a nice tour and enjoyed the free samples. We decided to get an early lunch at The Big Orange Lunchbox. Wow! It was very yummy! I am telling you, if you are on PEI and you like a good burger and h...
