For need of new post

Yes - even without the usual prompting, I've realized I need a new post.

Guess what. JOHN IS GONE AGAIN!!! (news flash) - I'm so.. well... envious...

The ball was fantastic!!! Best ever in my personal opinion...though too short :)

IT'S ALMOST DECEMBER!!! YAY!!!! SO much is happening!!!

On another note, I thought these were hilarious:










The one about the visitor sitting in the Martins pew was my favorite :)

To satisfy the ungrateful youth who failed to appreciate the effect of my last inspiration

Now then - Daddy and John are off hunting again. :) They'll be back sometime Sunday. Speaking of hunting, John shot a coyote that was in our pasture (after our chickens) Tuesday afternoon... it was a scrawny, mangy lookin thing - not worth skinnin.



If anyone wants to read an EXCELLENT book on the Puritans, I would highly recommend "Worldly Saints" by Leland Ryken. Beautiful.



Mom made about 5 gallons of soup last night... we'll be in good shape for the next few weeks.



Oh yes! The Mother/Daughter retreat! I knew I was forgetting something. That was great fun!! Saw lots of fun people I haven't seen in a long time, and Mom & I got to talk alot. (Christie was with Laura most of the time)... and I got the best picture.....


Poor Melissa REALLY didn't want to go horse-back riding, but she did it for Grace -

INCREDIMOM!

Hark! I have more terrific news!!!! THE BRISTERS ARE COMING TO THE BALL!!!!! (*HALLELUJAH*)

There - doest that satisfy thee?
