Prayer request for the Laurie and Pausch families

In reviewing my previous blogs I noticed my penchant for starting each with “well”. I will have to rectify that for the future. I intended to give you an update of what’s going on here, which includes picking up my youngest from the airport tomorrow as she returns from TN. Instead, I’m going to request prayers for Greg Laurie and his family and Randy Pausch's family as each deals with there great loss.

The links above explain more and her is an article is from the OC Register about Christopher Laurie. Thank you in advance for your ministry of prayer.

Next stop Nashville

Well I survived the CHEA Convention. It was good to hear Gregg Harris and Ken Ham again. As usual I was encouraged, to continue on and while there are areas that need fine tunning, it seems we've done some things right. I also bought three curriculums, and will let you know what I think once we start using them.

Yesterday the girls and I enjoyed the beach with their cousin and sampled Starbucks new mango banana smoothie drink. After that DD1 took her cousin shopping, while DD2 completed her last day of dance camp. Today, DH flew up north for work and I waited in vain for the phone to ring with prospective tenants.

Next stop is Nashville for DD2, she leaves on Sat. to join over 700 others be the hands and feet of Jesus in that city. She will be doing crafts for VBS, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Over 20 years ago I worked at a summer camp in the crafts department.

Well, summer is flying by, hope your enjoying yours. Time to work on some more lenses for Squidoo.

Only 2 days until the CHEA convention

Well it's late, so this won't be long. I was supposed to do other things today, but ended up back at squidoo.com working on my WIDE shoes page. While I have my schedule worked out for the convention, I still need to do more prep, like making a list of the things I want to look at. So, that's a must do for tomorrow.

Other things that went on today, DD's went to the beach, awe summer. DH and I went to a short CERT meeting, then made copies and split a frozen yogurt (choc. malt with Almond Roca topping.) I also worked on Quicken, and did some apartment business.

A Squidoo.com day

Well here I am starting a blog. I’ve read a few, but hadn’t really thought of writing one until I started doing something called Squddio. As my husband often say’s, it been like taking a drink from a fire hose. So far I have two sites at Squiddo.com, In the Beginning and Homeschoolers Unite... But, be fore warned, Squiddo can be addicting, if you decide to start a lens of your own, click the blue "Make a Page!" button on one of my pages. I’m not positive, but I think if you do it from my page we’ll both benefit, once you make fifteen dollars worth of income. As I said it’s a fire hose of information and I don’t know all the ins and outs yet.
