No, I didn't win!

Nope! I didn't win the pattern, oh well, I can live without it! :) Well, I just wanted to tell y'all that on Sunday afternoon we got a phone call. Guess who from??? .............................................. THAT'S RIGHT!!!! PV2 Nathan Scott Hamelund! He is doing very well, and he's very excited about next month, his graduation which is on the 12th. He said to me that he's been counting down the days till he gets home since the moment he got there! Haha! Well, that's all I wanted to say! Hope y'all had a wonderful weekend and Monday! I had a okay day at Good News Club, I have four kids in my group, and I LOVE them!!! I have second graders!!! They're very nice! Well, better go, my bedtime, school in the morning! UGH!!! =D

Route 66 Skirt Giveaway

Howdy! I found this giveaway at Feminine Cowgirl through my friend Koda's blog! I saw this skirt and it's a giveaway!!! Isn't it cute???? All you have to do is go over to her blog and find out more! Good luck!

I Know!!!! I Know!!!!

Howdy y'all I know! I totally missed Poetry Wednesday, I have been a bit busy! Lets see, updates: We got letters from Nathan on Monday, very encouraging! We also started GNC (for the new comers here: GNC is Good News Club) on Monday. I took over Issy's class since there were only THREE kids!!!! She decided that I was capable of three kids, and I am. Tuesday: I can't think of anything that we did that was long on there, a day of break! Wednesday: Well, of course we did school, mom and I watched a good movie afterward (that is like a exception to our rule: no movies on the weekdays, which is good, keeps us focused on our school), and then we had church. Now Thursday: I can only be on here for a little because, we just got back from gym, I have to study my presentation that's due tomorrow, I have to read a lot of my book "Amy Carmichael of Dohnauver", and I also have to do other stuff. Very busy! Well anyway, I'll post yesterday's poem right now. Oh the reason that I may not be able to put the tag on here, Sarah, is because our computer is being difficult, we have a new Internet thingy. Sorry! I'll try it when I have more time!

"God Is at the Anvil"

Lew Sarett

"God is at the anvil, beating out the sun;

Where the molten metal spills,

At his forge among the hills,

He has hammered out the glory of a day that's done.

God is at the anvil, welding golden bars:

In the scarlett streaming flame

He is fashioning a frame

For the shimmering silver beauty of the evening stars."

Old Fashioned Day 2010

Howdy y'all! Well it's approaching! Next month we will be having our yearly Old Fashioned Day, and this year is Edwardian 1900s-1940s, but I pick Edwardian. I like their dresses they're so pretty!! I thought I would give y'all a pic of what it's gonna look like, and of course I'll post the real pics of it when the time comes! Also, this pic is NOT mine, I got it from the Sense and Sensibilty Patterns website (click name to go there). I just wanted to show y'all what it looked like! Bye!

Poetry Wednesday

Hey! Don't forget to look at the pics of the Alamo and Captial! :) And YOU tell me what you think of the poem!

Courage Has a Crimson Coat

Nancy Bryd Turner

"Courage has a crimson coat

Trimmed with trappings bold,

Knowledge dons a dress of note,

Fame's is cloth of gold.

Far they ride and fair they roam,

Much they do and dare;

Gray-gowned Patience sits at home,

And weaves the stuff they wear."
