  Hello!  It has been a few days since I have posted….sorry.  We have been a little busy.

  The Acts II Table group was scheduled for Sunday (October 28th) and it ended up being only 1 other couple and their grandson.  It was very nice.  The wife and I got to really get to know each other and shared a lot. 

     Tuesday, we went with the Fray-Mill homeschool group to the Jones Orchard Cornfield Maze. They had two different mazes, a dragon and a knight and they were each 2 miles long. We went through the dragon. It was fun but tiring.  We walked through with my friend Samantha and her 2 children. Here are some pictures:

The group:

     I went shopping with my Mamaw on Wednesday. It was eye-opening.   I didn’t realize how bad her vision had become until then. It is sad. She could barely make me out when I was standing in the ladies jeans department and she was only about 5 feet away. We don’t understand how fortunate we are to have our sight, until it is gone. Be sure to enjoy every minute of the time that you have been given and the senses that God has given you.

    We only had 2 boys come to our class Wednesday night….and one of them was our son!  When your class is that small, it doesn’t take long to teach the lesson. We did our lesson and then went next door to the Prims’ class and watched part of the VeggieTales movie, The Wizard of Ha’s.  The Prims teacher had popcorn and Sprite for the kids and our children’s pastor, Troy Powell brought bags of candy so we were all set!

   Thursday, I took my 10 yr old son to the orthodontist and he got his braces off!  YAY!  Here are pictures of before and after:

   

    During the day on Friday, my friend Becca and I took our products to Brighton High School to display for the staff.  She is a BeautiControl senior director.  We love going to the schools to meet new people and share our products! That night and the next day, William and I went to the Marriage Tune Up conference at our church.  It was fantastic! 

   This morning, my daughter (soon to be 13) asked me if we could learn more about someone named Yo-Yo Ma.  I had never heard of him.  She said that she had learned about him from watching Arthur….yeah, a little strange I know but my husband LOVES Arthur and records it every day and watches it as soon as he gets home from work.  It is a time that they all look forward to. Anyway, back to Yo-Yo Ma. It looks like we will be taking a side trip from our regular study of music and will be learning about this wonderful musician that has peaked my daughter’s interest. 

   I have to take the older 2 to the dentist for their cleanings today.  The youngest had his done when we took him to get a chipped tooth repaired. My daughter is not exactly excited about going. Oh well.  She will get her teeth cleaned and not have to go back for 6 months!

   I will try to post more tomorrow.  Have a great day!
