Potatoes, Corn, Tomatoes, and ABC's

Well, here is our first ever crop of potatoes!

A good enough portion to

make creamed peas and potatoes,

one of Theron's favorites.

Not much corn

to speak of,

but it was fun to watch it grow

and it will make a good snack for

the squirrels.

Mom says you need a whole field of it,

in order for it to really do well.

We have our first two tomatoes!

They usually do well here.

This year we have several different varieties,

so that will be fun.
Sorry, I don't remember which ones

these are.

Instead of the Kay Arthur Study for Kids,

we have switched gears.

The How to Study Your Bible book was a bit

too challenging for a just turned 8 year old.
We decided to go through

My ABC Bible Verses.

Our church had previously done it,

before we arrived and

I hated that we missed it,

so I got the book for us to do on our own.

We have really enjoyed the stories

and learning the verses.

Here is a sample of what they

are learning.

Women's Bible Study

I'm real excited about a new Women's Bible Study starting up.

We are going to be going through a Nancy Leigh DeMoss book.

If you're not familiar with her stuff, go to http://www.reviveourhearts.com/ for more info.

Last night was the first meeting and I had to miss it.

I'd been having a feeling that my ear was stopped up for 3 weeks.

Yesterday, I started running a fever and felt rundown.

On top of that my throat was very sore.

Today, after going to the doctor and having them flush my ear to rule out ear wax as the cause,

and do a strep test - negative,

I finally get a diagnosis and antibiotics and ear drops

for a middle ear infection.

While I was at it, I got a steroid for poison ivy.

Yes, I have it again!

I feel much better just knowing that relief will be coming soon.

Although, I may be up late at night due to the steroid.

Extra time for Bible Study!
