Imagine My Excitement When...

The computer I was assigned to at the library today is a Mac--

It's great! No, it's not the same as a laptop but it's okay :)

Things are going great here. I am going to be 17 in 13 days!

I'd be content with only ONE gift this year if that gift was a Dobro :)

Okay, I would be content with no gifts as well I just really really want a dobro! I don't think I wrote on here about how I finally was able to play one for about three minutes a month or so ago. Now I just can hardly wait to have one of my own! It may be a while :)

Our adorable puppies are getting very big! I'll have to post some photos soon :)

Grace just got a job here in TC giving classes on making yarn from wool locks. It is with an after-school program so I think she will be working with children only.

She also has a place to stay here in town with a friend of ours who is in the process of making a bed & breakfast. Grace will also help her out in that.

Well, I have some other things yet to do and so this will be brief.

I do, however want to write down here a song that the Lord gave me a couple weeks ago.

Forever

Forever, Forever

Just You and I

Walkin' together

Forever, Forever

Hand in hand

We stand

Walkin' together

On life's narrow path

Through thick and thin

Through rough and tough

When all is dark

and I fall down

You pick me up

And carry me on

Forever, Forever

Just You and I

Walkin' together

Forever, Forever

Hand in hand

We stand

Walkin' together

On life's narrow path

You are there before I call your name

You look at me, You smile, You say:

Forever, Forever

Just I and you

We walk together

Forever

Hand in hand

We stand

Walkin' together

On life's narrow path

My Savior and I

Are walkin' together

Forever, forever, forever

Have a great day and a Happy new year!

PUPPIES!

okay, so I don't know how to use the copy and paste on these huncky old things clled COMPUTERS! Who even wants to use Dell desktops?

I made a stupid mistake and I posted on my other blog. I am NOT going to re-write it so please click on my profile and go to the blog listed there to read about our PUPPIES!

More Photos! SNOW! FRIENDS!

We had some friends over on Thursday... it was rainy and we all cleaned up in the bakery building which is more than just a bakery. We had a ton of fun and they stayed really late.

Their eldest daughter Krystal who is 15 stayed the night over to Friday. On Friday Grace, Krystal and I all paked into a 2 1/2 seater ranger along with a friend and roared (literallly) into the hills to another friends house. Marcia drove, Grace smashed up against the stick shift and then I scrunched up to Grace and Krystal sat on my lap... it was totally halarious!

When we got to Edna's house we had a cheese class that was so fun!

Here Grace is showing Kelcie (who is a friend of our friends and is now a wonderful friend of mine!) and Krystal (in the middle) how to do nalbinding.

Three of the younger girls

When Krystal, Grace and I woke up friday morning there was snow on the ground! Lovely!

Well, I want to check out some books still, so I am going to get going!

Thank you all for your comments! Cora, I love that you thought of us when you heard that song :) I have songs that remind me of people and I always wondered (at least I think I did :) if there was any on else like that too!

I feel like I'm back to posting in the real way-- pictures make a big difference!

PHOTOS!!!!!!!!

I found out how to get photos on here!!! YES! there no order to them though so enjoy as is!

Hopefully you will see more on here on Saturday!

Now, I wonder how many comments I will get? haha!

~HANNAH~

Hey Guys!

Hiya! Wassup?

I've been baking and really enjoying it! I baked 18 loaves of bread and 24 Kaiser rolls (Nathanael makes the dough and shapes these) for the market late friday night (got done @ midnight) there is a super huge differance between staying up late and staying up late working! I was tired! Most of my loaves turned out great- a few of them were over proofed because we only have two regular ovens so they were a little weired looking. They sold really well though and I was so happy! Early this morning I baked 6 more loaves and did a run into town to sell them. I plan to do some more tomorrow for our bread group and then I have to do more for the market!! I want to see how many I can bake in a week!

David has already got 2 deer in for processing! He has been going out hunting but has not got anything yet (WHAT"S WRONG WITH US???)

We have been going to pottery lessons after the market for the past two weeks and are going to start back up again in January-- it is really fun!

I have a bunch of photos that I would love to post if I could (I'm not sure if you can do it at the library? I'm gunna try sometime.)

So what eltz is new?

Oh we have these super cute kittens! They were born in uh late summer but I'm not sure I mentioned them or not. Each of us children have one except David, he loves them but does not really want one for "his cat". Grace has a little black one and her name is Juniper, Mine is a short haired tortiss (sp?) shell and her name is Shani. I call her my "Bonny Shani"! Enoch has two since his cat had them: Millet which is an orange tom, and then a little female who is a long haired tortiss shell her name is Moppet. Nathanael's is a black tom who I named Beast but we call him Beastie!

Well hey, I got to go! I may or may not be back on Saturday :)

~Hannah~

Saturday is now Market Day!

Hello hello!

I went out on the youth hunt and all together saw 6 deer.

First one was one that we scared out of the brush as we (David and I) were walking home in the night/late evening. Then the next morning we woke up nice and early when it was still dark and waited near a clearing in the forest for the deer to come. A mother and her two grown fawns crossed slowly through the clearing about 40 yards from where I sat. It was too dark still for me to see my sights clearly so I did not even try to take a shot... they passed by and I could hear them browsing in the woods not too far away. A cold breeze was blowing (it was very cold) and it tickled my nose... i felt a sneeze coming and told myself "DON'T SNEEZE"! I tried Enoch's trick of pluging my nose to muffle any noise that could break the quiet morning air... i tried... and failed... it was muffled but not enough for the sharp ears of deer. No sooner had i sneezed and I heard the three deer bolt toward the east and two more ran acrossed the clearing to the west. If I had not sneezed one of the two deer going east would have been lined up in my sights.

Alas. Now I wait for november. David is bow hunting... I want to do that sometime!

My dear friend Haley and her family moved back to Michigan at the end of September... when they showed up aty our house as a surprise three weeks ago I was SO shocked! I felt like screeming but could only gasp... they are staying until the spring-- maybe longer!!

Fall is here the trees are SUPER pretty this year!

As you have seen, I desided to take a library break and enjoyed the market for the past time we went there!

Next week my sister Rebecca is coming to the market for a time so I don't know if I will come to the library next week either. It is also David's birthday. Next saturday I plan to go out hunting on the youth hunt. I already bought my tags!! I can get a doe on the youth hunt if I want to and I really hope I do since I can get it on public land (not just private).

I think for the youth hunt I am going to use my grandpa's 410 with slugs... I know that is kind of whimpy sounding and I wish I had something else but I think for the youth hunt it will be okay. David was thinking of letting me use his M44 but he said he wants to get a scope for it since it is hard to use just by itself.

Okay, I'd write for hours on end if i had the time and quite but I need to get going!

Keep me in your prayers that I will be kept safe this hunting season and that I would get some meat (not just a trophy (sp?) buck although that would be grand!)

Ah! Library Time on a rainy day!

my brain is blank...

I cant think of what to write! I'll start out with saying why I think my brain is blank :) I baked a bunch o' bread this morning... i left the market when the first two loaves sold... grace was groaning... she did not want to be stuck there selling bread but she did not want to go to the library either! :)

Daddy and the boys are at a sports store looking at recoil pads for Enoch's 16 gauge so I want to check out some books before they get back to pick me up...

I'll leave you with a little conversation that my nephew and I had the other day when my sister came to make salsa with us:

Him and I were walking out to go see the "baby moo" when Cooper began barking at us

Jeremiah (Buddy) goes

" 'e's baukin' at me"

"he's barkin' at you?"

" 'eah."

"well, you gotta say 'Shut up Cooper!' "

Jeremiah goes

"Dud up Doo Doo!"

It was all I could do not to laugh... he is so cute!

I'm still Abba most of the time... Daddy though is not anymore he is now "Bumpa."

Very Sweet!

I'm happy for my readers :)

newest thing this week:

a new dog. a smart dog. and very well behaved! he's an aussie...

his name is Cooper and he knows his name crazy good.

David started working for a honey farm this week a rather large honey farm... he is helping them extract.

i learned how to drive the tractor... learned on my own i should say... it was funny. David had to take water out to the animals and so he had the barrel on the tractor and he was out in the bakery for whatever reason and I jumped on there and could not remember how to start the thing... finally between Nathanael and I we started it. I hopped on, Nathanael sat on my lap and we started driving out to the pasture... then David caught up... yep, he caught up to the tractor. That should explain that we had some difficulties in driving out there...

i want ot invit you all to my sister Rebecca's blog...

answers4myheart.blogspot.com

for some reason I can not get a link to work so just copy the address- sorry! one more thing about these computers!

she has a problem with her background-- same as me! I'll have to fix both of them sometime or another! In fact, maybe i'll do mine now... i do need to get some books though it was a sorry thing when I read all four books i checked out last friday in four days!

I did got a nalbinding needle last week and have taken up nalbinding!! it is fun!

well i'll sign off... excuse all my scrambling thoughts...

wait! one more thing! i'm going to hopefully get a sports card today, some ammo and go out target shooting! youth season is one month away!!!

"Hear! hear! dear deer!"

do any of my readers hunt?

Hey Readers! I still have some- right?

i know i missed a week...

but great news!!!! I not only got one medal but two! Yep! one for being the only student out of all 56 of them that got all three of my bullets in a one inch O (i could not figure out for all i am worth how to spell cercle? cerciel? cercul? grr.) and the other one, everyone got one it was for getting three shots in the red of the target. i am so looking forward to deer season but am woderin what firearm i am going to use-- i think i can use the 12g (with slugs or buckshot) but my brothers think that is crazy... i can shoot a 16g (with shot) and it feels like nothing but the boys think the 12g would be to much of a shock for me... unless i get buck fever every time and never shoot nothin'! oh and i passed the test :)

last friday was Daddy and Mama's 28th aniversery... i am so blest to have them as parents!

um,

i did the yard work at our neighbors with daddy yesterday-- i do weed wacking... it is not fun to weed wack an entire bank that is really steep.

i discovered how fun it is to take photos in the manual setting!!

But it is not fun to fill up a 2 gb memory card and know you only have another 1gb one left.

well, i ran out of books this week and i need to find more so i'm goin to get goin!

~Hannah~

it's friday...

...and i'm here folks!

i baked baked my head of this morning when i baked 80 pretzels from 6 in the morning to 12:30.

i had never made natrual leaven pretzels before so it was a fun challange this week ;0

i'm sellin them for a buck a peice at the market and so far they are selling fine :)

the newest thing that broke this week was the brakes on the truck... daddy fixed them though in time for the market :)

hmmm... what eltz (how people around here say else :) is new around here?

oh, i have been cleaning up a very messy area in the upstairs of one of our buildings.

tomorrow is the second out of 3 classes at hunters safty. we go out on the range to shoot baloons, clay pigons and targets. i am going to try to win the medal for the girl that shoots the best... it will be funny if i do because up until just a few days ago i had never shot anything bigger than a pellet gun :P but my odds are less than Enoch's and Nathanael's since there are alot more boys there.

i am looking forward to deer season this year. it will be the last year i can go on the youth hunt so i want to do that for sure!

well, i'm going to go now... i have a bit more time left on my computer here in the libary... i can't stand all the keys clicking in here... and then someones phone will ring and they will go HELLO? really loud. makes me wonder if they can read the "turn your cell phones off" sign.

sorry for all the lowercase lettas and any missspellleied words... there is no spell check on this computer (probably because people don't spell any more. soon the teacher is going to go "spell deffinatly" studant: "def" teacher "correct") and though i don't think i am too bad at spelling i do make mistakes :D

Thanks everyone for your comments!!

It's gunna be 400 big bucks to get poor lil' mac fixed :( and did I mention that the warenty JUST expired?? Yeah. Some of you have our address if you want me back in blogger world with more than just little posts every friday :P

Haha! It is SO hard to type on these chunky keyboards-- how do all of you non lap top users DO IT??

Teasel has not come back-- I doubt she will. We got dog food out of the deal :P oh and a bone, a kennel and some dog blankets... but I also lost my bed warmer and a great playmate!

Enoch had a birthday on the 28th. He is now 13 and almost taller than me :O grow Hannah! GROW!

Enoch, Nathanael and I have been sleeping outside these nights... it's alot of fun!

I helped Daddy groom our neighbors big lawn yesterday.

I'm missing taking lots of photos. I can't take alot or I'll have to start deleting them... (our battery charger got ruined too so the computer is totally shut down until...)

Well, I'm going to hunters safty this evening with my younger brothers and I need to get a-goin!

Until next friday I am your not faithful blogger,

Hannah of Marilla Heights

HELLO! HELLO!

Hey everybody! Long time no type :)

Our computer was ruined in a lightning storm-- at least the internet part maybe more maybe less. We are at the Apple Specialists right now and I am using another computer there.

So, I'm not sure how long it'll be before I can do any blogging.

I do have some sad news...

Teasel ran away a couple days ago :(

Very strange since she was not one to take off.

I don't expect her back.

I am tired...

A lightning storm is coming up and my dog is on my lap (she is scared of the storm but won't admit it) so, good night!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful and productive summer!

Happy Birthday Dear Nathanael!

To my dearest brother Nathanael...

Nathanael Isaac, I am so glad you are in my life!

You bring sunshine on the bluest of days!

You cheer me on with your laughter!

You are a joy!

I thank God for the eleven years of life He has given you and that those eleven years you have been such a blessing to us all.

I could think of a million things we have done together and still there would be many more!

Driving in chairs with the button tin as a steering wheel on the guitar stand...

Feeding you milk out of a goat bottle-- wow! That makes me realize how young we both were!

Making patties either with flour and water in the kitchen, or dirt and water in the sandbox!

Squeezing your chubby cheeks and kissing them!

Watching the mother hen and her 12 chicks...

Dancing. Oh Nathanael, dancing with you while we all sang is one of my most fondest memories! We should do it again, although pretty soon you will have to be the one twirling me in the air instead of how it was several years back when I twirled you!

Climbing trees... we still do that quite a bit!

Making flunk candy!!! hahaha!

Brawling for fun... we still do that too, right? :)!

I can't write them all, but there never can be too many memories of you dear brother! And thing is, we are constantly making more everyday!

I love you.

Babysitting the Nephews for the day...

Now it's time to put these precious children to bed!

Of Toads, Banjos, Tough Decisions and More :)

I am immensely enjoying not posting here on my blog!

I know that might sound kind of funny but I just have been doing other things around here and I don't want to feel pressured to keep up with daily posting.

Things that have been going on...

Picking wild berries in the woods. I did not wear shoes, hence I did not pick many berries and left the woods before the rest of the clan. When they came back, I saw this cute little berry pickin' pail that I assumed one of my younger brothers made... I asked "Who's cute lil' Perry Bickin' pail is that?" And we laughed. It's so funny when words get mixed up on accident :)

I am considering purchasing a banjo! I know I want a fiddle real bad like but when you see a banjo that seems great and is under $100...

There is a fiddle for sale too in the same price range and a 12 string guitar. It does not help in deciding what instrument to buy or even if you should buy any of them when you want all three and have been wanting all three for a long time. At least there is not a dobro for sale in my price range or I don't know what I'd do. Since the fiddle seems to be cheeper (quality wise) than the banjo and the guitar is more expensive than the banjo, I am leaning towards the banjo...

I was coming up from the bakery in the dark and Daddy said "What were you doing out there?" in a normal voice. I screamed and then answered calmly. I don't know why I get scared so easy it's kind of funny though :)

Then I was coming in the sliding door and right when I opened it, I looked down and let out a "whaa!" really loud. How embarrassing... it was only a huge (super huge) toad. I picked him up and he sat calmly in my hand... I called my brother Nathanael and he put him up for the night somewhere I know not where. I'll have to get a picture of him.

I have been reading alot. Alot.

The Cousins are here plus a riddle :)

My cousins are here and I am having so much fun with them!

Tomorrow we are going to Lake Michigan to go swimming!!! Yeah!

My cousin Nathan loves doing illusion tricks. I am boggled right now...

I thought I'd share a riddle he has me and Grace stumped on right now- and we can't know the answer until tomorrow morning!

Okay,

There are three men who are very tired and go to a hotel to get a room.

The hotel manager tells them that one room for one night will be $30. So, they each pay $10.

After they are in their room the manager calls the bell boy and says that usually they want people to pay $25 for one room for one night so he gives the boy $5 and tells him to divide it evenly between the three men. As the boy is walking to their room, he says "$5 can't be divided evenly by three so I'll keep $2 for myself and give $1 to each man." So he did and the men were happy because they each only paid $9. So, $9 x 3= $27, right? And the boy kept $2 for himself $27 + $2 = $29, right?

Yes, so what happened to the missing dollar???

Don't ask me- just comment with your guesses!

A Post

We went to the hay field today! I do so love hay time! My arms and hands are all scratched up and my muscles ache but I can't wait to get back out tomorrow! Usually I drive the truck but I didn't this time because Mama came and so she drove. We got let's see. . . 45 on the truck and 80 on the trailer so that's what together... anybody quick at math? 125 bales. I must be very tired because I could not think of the answer to that.

I did not post here for a couple days. . . yesterday we had some friends over that we met at the market, Mike and Mora - they are so nice and I feel as if I have known them for a long time! I can't wait to see them again on Saturday!

On tuesday night all of us except David went down to the river. Enoch and Nathanael fished.

Here is some pictures:

My sweet puppy Teasel,

(which actually is all of ours and is also a dog :)

Nathanael fishing

Enoch fishing:

The beautiful river

Have any of you ever played Apples to Apples? My Grandma F. gave me the Bible Edition of it. My Aunt Terri gave it to her but Grandma never played it. I wasn't sure how to play it even though I read the instructions :). Today Nathanael was in my room and he was looking at the game. Then I was taking random card and seeing what funny things I would come up with. I started doing it with Grace and the younger brothers. We would grab one red card and one green card off the top of the stack and see what they said. Here are some of the ones that made us laugh :)

This is for you Beth dear :)

I might email or buzz it to ya also :)

This was interesting. . .

Enoch and Nathanael really wanted to go out fishing this afternoon but it was all getting delayed due to lots and lots of phone calls (I'll tell you about that latter.)

Now, we were doing this Apples to Apples and Grace just pulled these to cards from the deck and they said:

"Oh that one is a good one. . ." You know, it made sense.

Then right that second Mama walks in the room and she had not even heard us talking. She says "Boys, we are going to go fishing, just be patient." :)

Then we showed Mama the cards :)

Sometime today the younger brothers and I were doodling and we were seeing who could make each other laugh with their drawing. I did not get a picture of theirs but I did of mine. Should I post it?? I guess.

At first I thought it looked almost like a cow and a chicken but in the end it turned out to be a goofy snake, but I only shot it's head.

Here is a part of one of the hayfields that we get hay from.

Our friend Mr. Brimmer cuts and bales the hay. He is a very nice person. For years he has kept the price even and that is a big blessing to us. His tractor broke down too and is still not working perfect but he does his best for us and the other people who have got hay from him for years.

David looks like he's saying "eny buddy gunna gimme a bale?" when really he was just getting ready to say "Hannah, grab that bale there!" And "We did not come out here to take pictures" (or something along that lines :). I know, and I hurry to put my camera in the truck! I dearly love you big brother!

On the way home after driving slooowly (and driving in 2nd gear down a very steep hill. Well, I guess we have to do that without hay now too- something new on our old truck is less brakes.) Back on subject, on the way home we stopped at the country store and we all gots us a cone. YUM! And as we were pulling away from there, we saw a rainbow!

Actually a double rainbow. Not sure if you can see it in the photo below or not.

Now about the phone calls I mentioned earlier.

Please pray for us as we are trying to get our Kitchen certified.

I am not going into details but we are not really being treated fairly.

So there have been alot of phone calls made and the phone is ringing alot during business hours.

We would really appreciate prayer in this. It is very sad. We have been going at this for years and years. Taking steps of Faith and trusting God in ways we may not have as much before.

And now, I must go off to bed! Teasel is more than likely already in my bed :)

She is a nice little heater though on cold evenings.

"Cold?" You say "Didn't you get her in June?"

Yes, we got her in June but it has been chilly here!

Of Sticks and Strings. . .

I made a hat!

Yes, today I felt like knitting so I found some yarn from our sheep, beautiful grey yarn-- I like grey! I have started many knitting projects and have not finished them. I have finished a scarf before. I have a hard time following knitting patterns I know some of the abbreviations but not all of them. If a pattern said to do this:

Row 1: *k1, p2, sl 1, k1, rept from * to last stitch, k1.

I could do that easy. But when they get like this:

Head
CO 6 stitches. Distribute among 3 needles (you can use 4 needles if you prefer, once you have enough stitches) and join for knitting in the round. PM.
Round 1: K all sts.
Round 2: Kfb into each st. (12 sts)
Round 3: K all sts.
Round 4: Kfb, k1, kfb, k1, kfb, kfb, k1, kfb, k1, kfb, k2 (18 sts)
Round 5: K all sts.
Round 6: *Kfb, k2*, rep 5 times (24 sts)
Round 7: K all sts.
Round 8: Kfb, k3, kfb, k3, kfb, k4, kfb, k3, kfb, k3, kfb, k2 (30 sts)
Round 9: K all sts.
Round 10: Kfb, k4, kfb, k4, kfb, k6, kfb, k4, kfb, k4, kfb, k2 (36 sts)
Round 11: K all sts.
Round 12: Kfb, k5, kfb, k5, kfb, k8, kfb, k5, kfb, k5, kfb, k2 (42 sts)
Rounds 13-17: K all sts.
Round 18: ssk, k5, ssk, k5, ssk, k8, k2tog, k5, k2tog, k5, k2tog, k2 (36 sts)
Round 19: K all sts.
Round 20: ssk, k4, ssk, k4, ssk, k6, k2tog, k4, k2tog, k4, k2tog, k2 (30 sts)
Round 21: K all sts.
Round 22: ssk, k3, ssk, k3, ssk, k4, k2tog, k3, k2tog, k3, k2tog, k2 (24 sts)
Round 23: K all sts.
Round 24: *ssk, k2*, rep 2 times; *k2tog, k2*, rep 2 times (18 sts)
Round 25: K all sts.
Now’s the time to embroider the eyes, while there’s still room to move your fingers around inside the head. I used satin-stitch rectangles for the eyes, but feel free to make the eyes another way if you wish (beads or buttons would work if you’re not concerned about a choking hazard). If you would rather wait to place the eyes until the ant is completed and you’re certain where they need to go, the eyes can easily enough be done at the very end.
Now, stuff the head so it is firm but still squeezable.
Round 26: ssk, k1, ssk, k1, ssk, k2tog, k1, k2tog, k1, k2tog, k2 (12 sts)
Round 27: K all sts.

I get all boooggggglllleeedddd. (by the way if you understand the above and do what it says you should get an ant. At least to my understanding!!3)

So, I'm betta off just knitting on my own. No pattern.

That's what I did! I cast on in a round to my best understanding of how. It was not perfect but it worked! I knit and knit all day determined NOT to give up. I totally surprised everyone at the end of the day with A HAT! That no, did not turn out exactly like I thought it would but it is fine! Mama did not know that I was making it at all- I kept it a surprise :) She was the most surprised. Nathanael goes "You finished it?" "Yes, I did."

Now I'm sure you would like pictures of my hat?

It kind of fits like a beanie on me, and I think it would look better on a child.

Now, you need to tell me what YOU think of it!

Speaking of knitting I just found a site a couple minutes ago that seems like a nice site!

Here is think link:

Dear Mrs. Gretchen over at Fashinably Modest Patterns is having a giveaway- and a wonderful one at that! Check it out!!!

Yesterday & Today

Yesterday first...

When we got home, Mama had all of us children except David make dinner.

Grace and Enoch made Quesadillas in the farmhouse kitchen and Nathanael and I made Latkes with Avocado Sauce in the Kitchen. It was alot of fun. We had them with new potatoes, the first peas of the year, collard greens, cilantro, limes to go on the cilantro and coleslaw.

Me and Nathanael being funny. . . in case you don't know, we are sort of the "funny ones" of the family. I think every family has at least one "funny one" (if you know what I mean) :D

Cooking

Now, we will run up the path to the house. . .

we find,

Grace and Enoch!

Mmmm...!

And Mama,

making coleslaw!

The finished Latkes (Nathanael did the garnish on this one)

Avocado Sauce (I did the garnish on this one)

The Quesadillas

The Peas

The New Potatoes

After dinner (which was SO good :) we had s'mores made with HUGE marshmallows!

Mmm!

I know this is blurry, but I think it looks kind of neat :)

Roasting

Eating

Roasting

Eating

Roasting

Now, this is how we like to make s'mores taught to us by our friends (see their daughter's blog here)

Screw one cracker onto the stick followed by the marshmallow(s). Take the other half of cracker and put it on a log or like we do, a brick that is near the hot coals. Put your chocolate on the cracker and begin to roast your marshmallow.

Then, slide both crackers together making a s'more.

Now you eat it!

Then we watched a movie, prayed and went to bed.

Today, was very wet and rainy. Grace and I did kitchen work and then we sang and played guitar and fiddle/violin for a couple hours or so. We would switch instruments off and on but Grace played the violin and I played the guitar for most of the songs. It was fun.

After that, we made dinner together. Lentils, poached eggs, bread, cilantro (with limes!!), lettuce, and salsa. Mmm! I just really like food like that!

Now I need to go and tidy up the kitchen, back some cookie dough I mixed up, and let my brother do a post on his blog.

Before I go though, I would like to share this picture of me happy :D! Didn't I tell you I like running in the rain and that it makes me happy, in just my last post? I sure do!
