Cat Baths, Lawn Mowing and Horse Riding

Thursday, October 3


The little froggies around our place. :)

Thursday was a busy day! I fed my starter in the morning.  It takes 3 hours to be just right to mix up a loaf of sourdough. 

I gave Nugget a bath, brush, and trim.  I clipped Nugget's and Jackson's nails and did their flea/tick treatment. We discovered Churro is the key to clipping their nails!  It distracts them.

I did all the trimming on the lawn front and back.



Bird back in the preserve behind our house.

I ran to the store for one item and stopped at Walgreens for a free 8x10 I had ordered.

Then it was time to mow the lawn which is quite the chore. I sure am getting old because boy I am sore and tired when done! 

Used the blower on the sidewalks, planted my tomato plants, set out the garbage can for the morning, and fixed the fence by the preserve.

Showered and baked a couple squashes.  Then we headed to American Heritage Girls from 4:30-6pm.

Picked up two pizzas from Dominoes on the way home.  I was too wiped out to finish the squash for dinner.

Good, productive day.

Friday, October 4

Baked my bread right away in the morning. :) I did some normal cleaning - dishes, garbage, making the bed, and throwing in the laundry.




Summer's name in the church bulletin for being baptized. :)

Ran a few errands.  Visit to the chiropractor.  Doc Kelvin wasn't there - I always miss his adjustments.  Then, I did some couponing at CVS.

Then mailed a package to my parents at the post office.

Back home to work on Sierra's school items.  I started on dinner - orange chicken and eggrolls.   I love my eggrolls!  Oh by the way, make sure you check what can you pick up.  I got bamboo shoots instead of water chestnuts.  Ugh.


The girls left for their horse riding lessons.  I finished dinner and then cleaned the kitchen.  I made a pan of brownies.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...

Ten Tips for Sunday School Teachers

Ideas for Sunday School Teachers: 1.  Write a note to each student and mail it to their home. 2.  Visit the child in his home and bring a small treat. 3.  Make a special treat once a month for your students on Sunday. 4.  Have a Sunday School class activity on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. 5.  Pray for your students. 6.  Have a monthly or quarterly contest for your students.  Include bringing their Bible, saying memory verses, attendance, etc.  Award small prizes. 7.  Have a special craft once a month. 8.  Rev up your teaching time!  Use props such as costumes, pictures, videos.  Make your lesson time come alive.  Teach your lesson 2-3 times during the week out loud – you will be amazed at how you will be able to teach it to your students – not just following the words in the book. 9.  After the lesson, be creative!  Students should not just be sitting and waiting for Sunday School hour ...
