My Home

Holding your mouse over the slide show will reveal the writing Ive put there

We have an average sized 3 bedroom house. It is 3 years old. We have lived here since 1st December 2007.  Before that we lived in another part of the Hawkes Bay in a house that the landlord didnt look after.

Outside My Window … I see my wet washing hanging on the line. Its wet because its been raining a lot. But I was always told if its on the line it will dry eventually and its better than leaving it in the basket going moldy

***

I am thinking … about home schooling today

***

I am thankful for … God that He loves us so much

***

From the kitchen … I hear my youngest whining

***

I am wearing … my dressing gown over my nightie

***

I am creating … lots of photos on my blog because I enjoy photography

***

I am going …to have another day at home home schooling I enjoy days when I can teach from 9 to 3 without going out

***

I am reading . . . The Red Tent - Anita Diamant

***

I am hoping … it will be a good book I shall start it tonight

***

I am hearing … the radio blaring in the kitchen where My Home Schooler is doing the dishes

Around the house … not a lot needs doing but my desk needs another tidy

***

One of my favorite things … is cuddles with my man which i got as i put his breakfast bowl on his desk this morning

Here is a picture thought I am sharing …

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun

And find your shoulder to light on

To bring you luck, happiness and riches

Today, tomorrow and beyond

The Six Word Memoir

Amy has tagged me for this - here are the instructions:

Here’s my version:

My Journey Through Life With Him

Deuteronomy 1:33(NIV)

[He] who went ahead of [me] on [my] journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for [me] to camp and to show [me] the way [I} should go.

Plus haut, 2. INTENSITY, 3. Fire in the sky, 4. Runway, 5. becon@forthbridge, 6. Camping

He guides me.

Giving me clouds during the day

A fiery sky at night

He leads me on this journey called life.

He sometimes takes me through valleys and over hills but always He is there before me.

He is my beacon.

He gives me a place to lay my head

Ultimately He too will lead me home.

He is my destination.

Always beside on the way.

Introducing a Little Shoppe

click to go shopping at Barb’s

I have been bloggy friends with Barb for some time now. She is a beautiful lady, a mother, grandmother and friend to many. She has always been into crafts and when she saw a need she took action and opened her own little shoppe. Her crafts are beautiful as is her blog for them. If I lived closer I would certainty buy some of her precious items. Since I dont I am advertising (out of love) her shoppe. Do pop over and have a look and if you have a little someone whom you know would love a monkey, a bib or any of Barbs items do not hesitate to deal with Barb. Im sure you wont be sorry.

Week in Review

After taking Colin home we dropped my car off in town to get some new tires. Then the boys and I walked home. Whose silly idea was that - mine. It took an hour and a half thanks mainly I think to the fact that i had to lug the car seat. Gosh that thing is heavy. I did take some great photos though see my flickr set named corners.

We eventually got home and then piled into Mr Wonderfuls car and went to pick up my car. Mr Wonderful brought us lunch - bless him. I took my car and got its warrant.

I had a quiet afternoon my head is black and blue I walked into the clothes line yesterday

Our trip to the hospital.

a quiet day

Tonight Mr Wonderful and I moved me into a new “office space” in the lounge thus giving Mr Wonderful his own office and room when he has clients and phone calls.

the rearranged lounge

This afternoon we finished off our walk and discovered a new one we will walk sometime. Todays effort took approx 2 hours.

Photo shoot yesterday I actually ran out of memory space on the camera so today we went and took the last 10 shots of the above slide show

The boys had fun revisiting the beach, then we went to the library and Our Little Man had a play at the nearby park

the photo of my boy where I have put that he was thoughtful and compassion. The boy going down the steps had caught his jacket cord on the play equipment moments after that shot was taken Our Little Man bent over and pulled the boys string free

I have the flu

a very quiet day I still have the flu

a quiet day I still have the flu

UPDATE I have lost my voice
