I have just posted a poll on the sidebar which I need feedback for, so please select an answer, whether you are a one-time visitor or a recurring follower! I look forward to seeing the results, and making a very exciting announcement in the next few months! Just a hint...it will involve a giveaway....enough said!

Song for Sienna

I have been captivated by the beautiful piano song "Song for Sienna" composed by Brian Crain. I thought I would post a music video of it for y'all to enjoy.

I purchased the sheet music several days ago, and hopefully I can upload a video of me playing it soon......we'll see! It is so relaxing to sit and play, especially after a hard day's work.

Let me know what you think of it!

Also, look for a poll on the right hand sidebar in the next few days.

Samson

About a month ago we adopted a dog from the animal shelter. He is massive and quite strong, so we decided to call him Samson. He is 2-4 years old (they didn't know his exact age, of course) and such a sweetheart. He was obviously allowed to get away with whatever he wanted wherever he lived before, but an unmanageable 90 pound dog is not an option, so we are training him. He is really a good boy simply in need of some fine-tuning. We installed an underground fence around the entire five acres, so he can run free and do what he loves most - chase squirrels. Yes, that is the sole occupation of his time and energy, which happens to be most unfortunate for the squirrels. Here are some pictures of him:

I am trying to think of a middle name for him...I always have a plethora of names when I don't need them, and then when the time comes that they may be useful, they are nowhere to be found! Do you have any suggestions?

Wonderful Audio on Beauty and Poll

Mrs. Botkin has graciously recorded an audio on beauty which is wonderful. You can listen to it for free on Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin's blog, Visionary Daughters. It is for mothers, but I found many valid points for myself as well. I hope you will avail yourself of this by clicking here.

Plus, don't forget about the webinar coming up on September 25...to learn more about it click here.



I am eagerly awaiting the advice the Botkin sisters will have on the subject of beauty!

Also, please participate in the poll on the right hand side of the screen!

In Memory

Several months ago, on July 4, my beloved grandfather went to be with Jesus. On the day when we celebrate our independence as a nation, freedoms quickly waning, he celebrated his independence in Christ, something which will never wane for all eternity. Those of us remaining on this earth will miss him sorely...each of his children, grandchildren, and friends were greatly endeared to him. He left a legacy of salvation which has impacted and will continue to influence all of his family members. I was recently looking through some pictures on my computer, and found one I especially wished to post in memory of my grandpa. It is so telling of the enormous love he had for his grandkids.
