I am an avid gardener on hiatus, a busy seamstress to the littles, and a sometime reader and baker of tasty treats.
I am constantly trying to grow closer to my Father and Lord, and sometimes I actually accomplish it!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00611670750293665117noreply@blogger.comBlogger1761100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759908.post-75311937538053790492010-11-06T13:27:00.003-04:002010-11-06T13:30:50.618-04:00I haven't posted here in 4 years! Wow - time flies - since my last post we have continued to homeschool, added 2 more children to our family and drawn closer to God. I am not sure how this is going to go - but I may start randomly posting here again. This is something that came in my head today at naptime.<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 <![Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00611670750293665117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759908.post-1162607904958408102006-11-03T21:37:00.000-05:002006-11-03T21:38:24.976-05:00The google searchs that land you guys here are -- interesting --Come on over to the new digs!

Well, actually I am slightly calmer than what I was earlier. MY local newscast just did a story on "homeschooling".However, they profiled a student doing a state supported cyber PUBLIC SCHOOL. THAT IS NOT HOMESCHOOLING. It is PUBLIC school at home.
