Out Ioway

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth,
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber.
-Psalms 121:2,3

Melinda Turns 15 !

(which happened November 9 and was celebrated on the 11th so I figured I should post before December. An inquiry by Sharon reminded me I'd forgotten)

The blowin' o' de candles.
Melinda chose a butterscotch pie which she made herself.

The birthday meal was haystacks whose ingredients could include:

-rice
-raisins
-coconut
-walnuts
-tortilla chips
-cheese sauce
-onions
-salsa
-lettuce
-tomatoes

I asked Loren what he put on his haystack and he replied, "Everything."

*blinks*

"And, hows that workin' for ya?"

*shrugs*

"Just fine."

Eclectic Man strikes again.

Several biographies from Heroes of the Faith series.
Charles Spurgeon, Frederick Douglas, Sojourner Truth and others of Ma's favorite radicals.

Bird identification book :-)


Derek displays mild shock at Melinda's new book, "Wildlife Friendly Plants."
Alas, nothing Nolan can play with.

(you can read it later, Melinda :-)



Hmmmm...bamboo crochet hooks.


Ahhh, lots of crochet thread balls :-) (procured from Ebay)
And still nothing for Nolan...

With Carolyn turning 13 this month, we now have five...count 'em, five teenagers until Jason turns 20 the end of December.

So far it looks to be survivable.

And here I thought I was doing pretty well when I had three teenagers at once!

Course, two of them are away in college so maybe that doesn't count as much...

(I actually have more trouble from certain younger ones ;-)
