Rebekah's antics

Update ~ this and that

Well, the newness finally wore off! I haven't updated this blog in over 2 weeks! BUT, I must say, I missed it. I felt like I should be updating it and missed a couple of events, but when you homeschool and have a teen, a pre-preteen and a one year old, life can get a little busy!

It is a fun busy. While talking on the phone to my husband yesterday I explained to him that I was watching Nicholas who was on the front porch swing ~ swinging with his turtle! It was cute. Also, last night Rachel received a new addition to the family. We now have a guinea pig! It was a give-away from another homeschool mom. Her name is Marcy and she is a long-haired mostly white, with a black ring around the entire neck, guinea pig. This is our first little varmit and I learned that she is considered a sow. Just like real pigs!

We went to mom and papa's over Labor Day weekend. Had lots of fun. Papa took Martin on an all day fishing trip. Then on Monday Papa took Martin and the kids. They had a fun day of fishing.

I recently had a birthday. I'm not 40, yet! My mother surprised me with a weekend visit! It was great. We took her to the Cane Hill festival in Cane Hill. It was quick and cute. We saw how sorghum molasses was made and walked through a row that mostly included people cooking in dutch ovens and preparing for a 2:30 tasting. It was noon and not enough to do to stay around to taste all the goodies. Then we walked past an ax throwing station and then on to view the quilts. That about sums up the Cane Hill Festival. There is some history that is interesting. Cane Hill had the first public school in Arkansas, the first Sunday school and the first college to admit women. Then we went and ate at a yummy local catfish buffet. It was a fun birthday. Thank you mom for the surprise visit!

Rebekah is awake so my update has come to an end. I will try not to take 2 weeks to update again!!
