The Titanic

Posted on Friday, March 14th, 2008 at

The girls and I hit the road yesterday and went to Branson.  We went to the Titanic Musuem and toured it.  It was so much fun, but I think we had more fun just driving around and seeing the town.  At the Titanic, we walked the Grand Staircase, viewed third class vs first class, sat in [...]

Another getaway… Dare2Share

Posted on Sunday, February 10th, 2008 at

 The girls went to the Dare2Share conference in St. Louis this weekend.  While there, they learned how to share the gospel with everyone.  The man who created this conference came up with the idea after the Columbine shootings.  It was an amazing adventure for them and I think they’re more than excited and ready to [...]

Been gone a while…

Posted on Friday, May 26th, 2006 at

My gosh, I gotta say, May has been so busy it’s just been near the insane mark. Let’s see if I can play a little catchup.
A lady on Freecycle gave me a BOATLOAD of 4H project guides. Everything from photography to beef. I’m not sure what I’ll do with all of them, [...]

What a fun day!

Posted on Tuesday, April 4th, 2006 at

We had a fun day today. Since it’s voting day, our homeschool group met at the park. It was so nice out, just perfect weather. Then this afternoon, we were able to see the dress rehearsal of Bowfire! It’s an amazing group of violinists that cross all music boundaries. Everything from a quick round of [...]
