The Increase Of Our Flocks
Around 7:00 antemeridiem yesterday Dad received the familiar call from the Post Office - our chicks had arrived! He dropped Rachel and I off briefly at the back door of the Post Office, where we had been instructed by the workers to "ring the...
Thus I Finally Write An Entry For February
I haven't much time to spare at this present moment. I probably will not have much to spare for the remainder of this month. Or this upcoming season...or the rest of this year! But I will probably be partial and generous to my blog regardless. Our chicks are arriving...
My Seventeenth Year
I had my 17th birthday yesterday. I had a very enjoyable little party with my family. Grandmomma and Granddaddy came for supper. They gave me a pretty gold colored jacket and crocheted beret. I also received a lovely scented candle from Mom. To our surprise, the new...
A Mighty Fortress
Never take advantage of Providence, I must humbly admit. Right now I am continuing my study of the Reformation, which is including a study of the hymns written by Martin Luther. I'm always trying to learn new songs to play on the piano as it is, so I decided that now...
Reminiscence
What better way to spend a dreary, cloudy day in early January than to reminisce all day long? I have no intention of wasting time, necessarily, but rather passing the depressing time of recovering from festivities and colds... {Oh, never mind...} Now that I am...
Thus We Enter The Seventh Year Of The Twenty-First Century
New Year's celebration was charming this year. Dr. John Y. visited, as tradition holds (he has visited on New Year's Eve 6 years in a row!). He is an old friend of ours that is amiably unique. He has always kept us children amused with his humour, literary prowess,...
Gone With The Year
Christmas has come and gone once again. Year twenty o'six is nearly over. We had a splendid Christmas party with family at our Grandparents' house on the 23rd (little cousins are growing up fast!). Grandmomma gave Rachel and I each a very pretty old-fashioned white...
Reformation
Now, at this moment, I don't feel like doing much of anything. Or maybe I just want to do too much at once. Our Grandfather from Tuscaloosa visited today (my mom's dad). He brought us some venison (along with some turkey and ham for lunch). He told us a lot of great...
Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh
I am generally not content with a blog post unless it describes every detail which I intend to convey to the utmost of credit. So - we finally have an updated HomeschoolBlogger. It seems to have learned a thing or two about detail from...
I May Highly Resolve…
I spent this day in planning my goals for the remainder of this year. I have put the pressure on myself to work harder on my other school subjects by forming a new daily schedule (yes, one of those again). I really have nothing to complain about or dilly-dally on. I...
The Breaking Of The Fellowship
Once again we have experienced the breaking of the fellowship. The Thanksgiving Visit - The Grand Highlight of the year - has been ended. All the times past of counting down days and preparing the house and the feast with the most satisfying of...
How Can One Love One’s Nation?
I actually wondered about that until I was at least 11 years old. When I thought of the United States of America, I imagined for awhile a wide panorama of politicians and celebrities and average citizens that were all "strangers" to me. When I was 10, during Election...
