review by Dd, 13 years old

It was really good, and had funny parts.  It is showing you and teaching you how to appreciate each day, no matter how horrid it is.  It's good for 12-13 years old, and up.  It is an easy read.  It's a good uplifting book.  It has bible references and you can read a chapter a day from the bible.  

A few chapter titles, to show the material:

Section 1: Saturate Your Day in His Grace

Chapter 2: Mercy for Shame-Filled Days

Section 2: Trust Your Day to His Oversight

Chapter 5: Peace for Anxious Days

Chapter 7: Fuel for Depleted Days

Section 3: Accept His Direction

Chapter 9: Calling for Purposeless Days

Chapter 10: Service for Fork-In-The-Road Days

Conclusion: The Blade of Uncommon Color

Her favorite section was in Chapter 3: Gratitude For Ungrateful Days.  Dd really thought this was a great book and wanted to recommend it to other Christians/Homeschoolers.

Last Visit 

Oct. 10-11th, 2015

      We went down to Indiana really early on Saturday, we usually leave on Friday nights, but Dd had a "Girls Club/Bonfire party" on Friday night that kept us out late.  It was such a sad, sad feeling, saying goodbye to the home that held so many of my favorite memories.  I'm not sure which one of us took it the hardest.

      We got to see our neighbor -slash-realtor, Gwen on Saturday.  I had made her a batch of Ranger Cookies, and a card to thank her for doing such a great job getting our house sold.  She was our THIRD realtor!  We had two other realtors that were super fancy and well established, and they couldn't do what she could!  And we are her first house to sell!  So thankful for her!

     I planned on taking lots of pictures, but the house felt too empty for me to take pictures---luckily Dd took a few.

Our last sunrise in our Indiana home

        Giz and Grampy came up fairly early, so we could all go out to eat for lunch.  It was really nice of them to drive 2 hours to eat lunch with us and then drive 2 hours back home.  They certainly are very kind!

     We did get to have a visit with our dear friends, the "L" family.  Dd got to play for a few hours before I came over for to share a cup of tea with Heather.  Dd had a blast, as always!  That is one of the best things about having a homeschooled child; the fact that they just love playing with all ages!  It wouldn't occur to her that not everyone wants to play with kids that aren't her same age.  She just loves all ages of kids, to play with.  I think they managed a game of Capture the Flag on Saturday, among other things.

The past 2-3 weeks has been so full of migrating birds!  These birds remind me of how in Michigan we've had so many flocks of birds flying around in massive quantities--it is just like looking at a school of fish, with thousands of creatures all turning at the same time and making beautiful wave-like motions as they coordinate their flight.  I've seen a lot more of these massive flocks flying together in Michigan than I ever saw in Indiana.  Also, the Monarch Butterflies are very abundant in Michigan, yet I'm not sure if I ever saw one in Indiana.  

Dd took one last picture of her old bedroom.  I'm pretty sure she will never have such a big bedroom again!  I'm so glad she hasn't fussed at her smaller accommodations!




Dd took some pictures while up in her play house. 

 You can see how much landscaping we did compared to our neighbors!  We planted LOTS of trees, bushes, and flowers.



     


This Friday is suppose to be our "CLOSING", but we won't be there, as I have that event to do for our new co-op and couldn't cancel it.  Then we should be totally done with this chapter of our life.  We first put this house on the market in July 2014.  July, Aug, Sept, Oct, switch realtors--had to repaint the house to make new realtor happy, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, somewhere in here we switched to Gwen, May, June, July, Aug (got the bids), Sept, Oct...Sixteen months of being on the market!  Wow.  What a big chapter to end.
