~ A Promise for Spring ~

 

I just got done reading "A Promise for Spring." It's by Kim Vogel Sawyer. She is one of my favorite authors.

~*~ 

Here is a excerpt from the book:

England Born Emmaline Bradford pledged her life to Geoffrey Garrett and then bid him farewell when he boarded a ship for America.Though Geoffrey planned to send for her withen a few months, five long years have slipped by. And now Emmaline barely remembers her finance...

Having Emmaline finally living on the sheep ranch he's built on the north fork of the Solomon River is a dream come true for Geoffrey.

But his beloved is not the free-spirited girl he remembers. In fact, she wishes to get of of Kansas as quickly as possible!

Begging Emmaline to give prairie life a try. Geoffrey offers a compromise: if she promises to stay until spring, he'll pay her return fare should she decide to go back to her home country.

Can anything convince a well-bred Englishwoman to become a "wildflower bride"?

~ Christmas is Coming ~

"Christmas is Coming" by: Garnett Ann Schultz

~*~*~*~*~

Hustle and Bustle, Hurry and Haste,

Never a moment that we might waste;

Shopping and wrapping, ribbons and bows,

Christmas is coming as everyone knows.

Trimmings and candles, wreath on the door,

Secrets and laughter, gladness galore,

Starlight and carols, bells ringing clear,

No other reason: Christmas is near.

Jolly Old Santa, reindeer and elves,

Presents all hidden away on the shelves,

Cards to be written, mailing to do,

Much in excitement, worries so few.

Love more abundant, peace in our heart,

Giving, remembering, smiles to impart,

Cookies and fruitcake, the fragance of pine,

Christmas is coming to your home and mine.

~ Happy Thanksgiving ~

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!!

May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have never a lump.

May your yams be delicious

And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!

Brandon Heath - Your Love - Lyrics

~ TOO MUCH ENGLISH! ~

You know you've been doing English too long when you are reading a book or writing a paper, and you have the sudden URGE to underline all the subjects once, the verbs twice, and cross out all the prepositional phrases!!  For each sentence in the book! LOL :)

No Matter What -Kerrie Roberts With Lyrics :D

~* Daybook *~

For today: October 25, 2010

Outside my window: cloudy, really windy, and 69 degrees outside.

I am thinking... that hopefully I can carve my pumpkin tonight.

I am wearing... a blue striped shirt, jeans, and socks. 

 I am remembering... when we went up to the mountins for a picnic to look at the leaves. I had so much fun!

 I am going... no where today. Hopefully church on Wednesday!

I am reading... a Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys super mystery called "Exhibtion of Evil." It is really interesting!

From the learning rooms… Bible, Math, English, Spelling, History, etc.

Noticing that... that there is only 2 more months until CHRISTMAS!!!!

Pondering these words... I WILL lift up my eyes to the hills - From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord. Who made heaven and earth.

From the kitchen… for supper tonight we are having, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, and baked tomatoes. Yum! :p

Around the house... my mom getting ready to start cooking supper.
One of my favorite things: READING!!!

A few plans for the rest of the week: hopefully church on Wednesday, groceries on Thursday, and we might go see Memaw Saturday. :D

From my picture journal...

Here are some pictures that I took when we went up on the mountin.

~ Daybook ~

For Today… October 11, 2010

Outside my window... sunny and supposed to be 85 degrees.

I am thinking...  that I'm excited for youth group on Wednesday!!

I am thankful for... that I was born into a Christian home.

I am wearing... jeans and a pink t-shirt.

I am reading... a Nancy Drew book called "The Case of the Lost Song." It is really interesting!

I am hoping... that my toe feels better. I have surgery on it next week. :(

From the learning rooms… Math, English, History, Calligraphy, Biology, etc.

Pondering these words... PRAISE the LORD! Oh, give thinks to the Lord, for He is good! For his mercy endures forever. PSALM 106 : 1

From the kitchen… I think we are having an omelet for supper - loaded with onions, mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, and cheese. YUM!

Around the house... My dad is off work for Columbus Day and we don't have school today. We are going shopping for Christmas.

One of my favorite things:  Reading, watching movies, and taking pictures.

A few plans for the rest of the week: shopping today, youth group on Wednesday evening, groceries on Thursday, and church on Sunday.

From my picture journal...

The daybook is hosted by Peggy each week.

~ Learning Calligraphy ~

   This year in school I am learning how to do Calligraphy! It is so much fun!

     

 

                     

I am just starting, but here are some samples of my work.

  

                                                                                                      

              

Eventually I am going to learn how to make invitations and greeting cards and other things like that. I think calligraphy is so beautiful.

Fall is...

Fall is elusive,

secretive, shy;

Fall is a crispness

that comes from the sky;

Fall brings chrysanthemums,

and sand that's cold;

Fall gives the trees

great halos of gold.

Rustling and bustling,

each little fall sound

Stirs up pumpkins

which squat on the ground,

Scoops up summer,

pauses to tease;

Fall is the mist

which creeps through the trees.

♥ Another Favorite Song ♥

"Let The Waters Rise" by Mikeschair

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

Don't know where to begin

Its like my world's caving in

And I try but I can't control my fear

Where do I go from here?

♦♦♦♦

sometimes its so hard to pray

When You feel so far away

But I am willing to go

Where you want me to

God, I trust You

♦♦♦♦

There's a raging sea

Right in front of me

Wants to pull me in

Bring me to my knees

So let the waters rise

If You want them to

I will follow You

I will follow You

I will follow You

♦♦♦♦

I will swim in the deep

'Cuz You'll be next to me

You're in the eye of the storm

And the calm of the sea

You'll never out of reach

♦♦♦♦

God, You know where I've been

You were there with me then

You were faithful before

You'll be faithful again

I'm holding Your hand

♦♦♦♦

There's a raging sea

Right in front of me

Wants to pull me in

Bring me to my knees

So let the waters rise

If You want them to

I will follow You

I will follow You

I will follow You

♦♦♦♦

God Your love is enough

You will pull me through

I'm holding onto You

God Your love is enough

I will follow You

I will follow You

♦♦♦♦

Ohhh

♦♦♦♦

There's a raging sea

Right in front of me

Wants to pull me in

Bring me to my knees

So let the waters rise

If You want them to

I will follow You

I will follow You

I will follow You

♦♦♦♦

Ohhh
