Pictures

My last post got me all thinking about that summer, it was undeniably a pretty good summer.

So, I took a trip down memory lane. Indulge me?

 This is a picture of the barn we lived in.  It had no heat, and floors that sloped so you walked downhill to your bedroom and uphill to the bathroom.
 This is where we worked, a landscaping company.
 We went to the beach whenever we could.
 When we first moved in in May it was very cold still in Maine so we pushed all our beds together on one wall like this, and in the mornings sometimes we'd all snuggle close before braving the blast. Did I tell you the barn had no heat?
 If you've never had a summer in Maine, I must ask: What are you waiting for?
 The island we lived on had no fast food restaurants, one night we drove some distance to get some. We might have gone a little... overboard.
 When my beautiful sister and I were young.  Thank goodness we're still beautiful, at least.
Ah, our ingenious plan for warming up - no heat, remember?
 Some of our group from that summer. I am third from the left in both pictures.  Spencer is in the yellow in the top picture.
Taking a break at work, with one of our "bosses", Mikey.
 I must ask you again, why aren't you planning a vacation to Maine right now?
 And now I have to ask myself, why am I not planning a vacation to Maine right now?  Let's see, when is a good week for a trip?

I stole every single one of these pictures from the following people's facebook pages: Melissa, Michelle, Nicole, Alison.

    I will always be glad that my girls have a memory of a summer so full of beautiful and dare I say poignant memories of young adulthood. :)

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporations and have big fanc

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stairs leading up (

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took
