autumn

It’s rather ironic that Beth mentioned my blog header in her comment on the last post, because I just updated it to reflect the autumn season we are enjoying. :-) Autumn is a season I never really experienced in Peru, and definitely enjoyed my first October in Indiana. My favorite memory is going to Melissa’s house for fall break, and hiking the Appalachian trail in the mountains of central Pennsylvania. I had a lot of fun scrapbooking that trip, trying…

I feel like I should post something, but I don’t really know what to say. So leave me a comment if there’s something you’d like me to write about. Apparently, my apartment does have heat, I just don’t know how to turn it on. Also I think the vaulted ceilings and 8ft wide windows have something to do with the cold.

One thing we didn’t do last time was pray about it, something I am determined to change. I want to be a woman of God and…

Two of my favorite books growing up were Cheaper By the Dozen, by Frank B. Gilbreth, Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, and Who Gets the Drumstick?, by Helen North Beardsley. (I liked stories about big families. :-)) Both of these books are about actual families who lived in the 1910s and 1960s, respectively. Cheaper by the Dozen is about the Gilbreth family, with 12 children, and it is a humorous account of their growing up years (incidentally, Belles on Their…
