The Lord is good! We all knew that already, I know, but it's just so nice to say! Last night at church a formerly homeschooling family (they've put their kids into the local Christian school for now) brought 2 large boxes of books they're no longer using for the rest of us homeschoolers [...]

Well, I finally rescheduled the appointment I had skipped the day before my sister's wedding… (way back on Aug. 3rd…) and I got in yesterday. Measuring right on, that's good.

Well, just over 30 hours left until the last sister is “finally married off”… No shrug-knitting marathon this time, but there are still some last minute finishing touches on the second flower girl dress left to do this afternoon, and some more flute practicing, and baskets to decorate… at least on my part.
