:: and big girls and harps, too ::

…a walk on this de-liciously lovely, warm day!

We stopped by to visit our friends the horses…

oh, and the donkey…

they are always so happy to see us.

the cows aren’t quite so enthralled…

a few stray milkweed pods were found and promptly cracked open so the seeds could fly away in the breeze.

what an amazing beautiful day!

I thought it was high time that I posted some pictures from during the two weeks that I counseled at NeKaMo camp. So here they are! Enjoy!

Here are a few links to albums with pictures from my graduation ceremony, reception, and other random ones that just jumped in there! :)

Since I don’t really have time to load them on here right now, this is the best way to do it. Enjoy!

I have been preparing pictures to go in a slide show for the graduation ceremony I will be participating in on May 8, and I thought I would share the pictures here. Enjoy! :)

When people ask me this question, I have vague feelings of being very, very busy, but I can’t for the life of me think of what has been keeping me so busy! [grin]

I’ve been sewing quite a bit. Along with modifying some of my own skirts, I sewed a skirt for my mom and and one for my cousin, as well as two for myself, and an apron for my sister. Next on the list of projects is another apron, this one for my mother.

I’ve also been spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I’ve been trying some different recipes and dishes, as well as making up some of my own dishes, using whatever I could find in the fridge. I love making up my own recipes.

In terms of school, this, of course, is my senior year. I am looking forward to graduation so very much, but I know that I must and use this time wisely, for soon it will be over. 

And what will I be doing after high school, you ask? I am earnestly and fervently praying that the Lord might provide somewhere (preferably in the U.S.) where I might serve for a period of six months or more. A foster home, or group home, training center, etc., are the kind of facilities I am considering. I have a few possible places in mind, but none of them seem quite “right.” I am praying that if it is His will for me to serve at such a place, that He will bring the perfect place for me.  I am trusting Him to work out the details, and I will watch Him work in amazement! I know He is able.

I will be graduation on May 8, 2009, with a group of other homeschoolers. For those of you who might be familiar with it, the organization is Midwest Parent Educators (MPE). This is the senior picture I chose to be used in the ceremony.
