Miscellaneous

Emily has started going to Mission Friends on Sunday night. It is a great class. The teachers are really good and Emily has made several things. I used to go to Mission Friends when I was a little girl. The children learn about and pray for missionaries around the world. Emily and I were talking about the class one night this week and I said, "Emily, maybe you will be a missionary one day." She started crying REALLY hard and said,"NO, I don't want to, I would have to leave you and Daddy and go far away." Bless her little heart.
I went to a local consignment sale this week and got some exciting finds.


Emily's class has been talking about the letter A this week at school. They made apple pie to go along with A is for apple. Emily was really impressed and wanted to smell our cinnamon when she got home. I let her hold it, and we smelled the cinnamon all right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was a little girl, I used to go to Wednesday night prayer meeting with my parents. Once in a while they would have a business meeting. I would hear them say, "in miscellaneous" I always thought they were saying "Miss Allaneous." I wondered why they were always talking about that lady in the meetings.

I have never heard about Mission Friends. I wanted to be a missionary when I was that age. My son and his wife were - underground in China. They hope to return within the next few years.

Poor Baby! One of my girls is not getting married, staying with us. Sure, we'll see how long that lasts once she's grown up and adored by a bunch of boys!

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
