Amish Proverbs..... Words of Wisdom

We all have heard those cute and thought provoking sayings. Suzanne Fisher has written a book called AMISH PROVERBS.... WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE SIMPLE LIFE. It is a fun and great book with may sayings. IN the book each chapter begins with a history of the Amish life. The history is very intersting and worth taking notes from. There are many colorful pages that keeps your attention. The Chapters contain things from time to money to work ethic..... Here is a few of my favorite quotes:

Nothing lasts forever, not even your troubles.


Parents who are afraid to put their foot down usually have children who step on their toes.


We need old friends to help us grow old and new friends to help us stay young.

The Bishop by Steven James

I am a sucker for a good mystery, and boy can Steven James write them! I was hooked the from the first page. FBI agent Patrick Bowers is on the hunt again for the murderer. He suspects someone form the beginning but has a hard time finding the evidence of it. This book takes so many twists and turns that it was hard for me to figure out who the bad guy was. I like it when I can't figure out the ending of a book.... and this one was just that....

Great book.... very good read...... If you want a little excited reading, pick up this book!

Happy Reading Everyone!

So Over it.... Book Review

So over it, by Stephanie Morrill

This is the third book in the reinvention of Skylar Hoyt series.

Skylar is now an adult.... and still trying to figure what to do with her life. The reinventing of herself is in the process. She is still trying to get over her love... Connor. How can she, with him still calling? Skylar thinks spending the summer in Hawaii will help her get over Connor and she could find herself. Nothing ever goes as you expect, as Skylar finds out.

I really liked this book. It was a great read. It kept my attention, and I think I finished it within a few days. Only warning.... it deals with some adult issues that young teens may not understand. I believe this book would be a good read for older teens.

Have a great time reading everyone!

Happy Reading!!!!

until next time,

Well, let it be said that summer is not always a fun, relaxing time! We have just been busy. We have started our summer school..... this is the first time that we have decided to school during the summer. I did not think that I would like it, but so far it is working out great. I have just scheduled two subjects to work on during the day. Math, English and quiet reading time. So far I have not had too many complaints, but what can we do all day long in the summer. Think of it, they get bored and then get in trouble.... so my solution : SCHOOL ......
Kalyn has started to want to read more. I am so thrilled!!!!!! My hubby and I took the girls to the Christian Book store this last weekend. We were just looking around and all of a sudden Kalyn comes to me and says "Mom, can I buy this book".... I was like sure, go ask Daddy. I was so thrilled... I love to read and any time I can share my love for books with my girls, I do. Needless to say, We did not walk out of the store with one but three books.... two for Kalyn, One with five stories in it for Janelle and One for me of course! Now we all take time out of the day and just sit and read together.... I love it! I'm going to make them bookworms yet!!!!!
Until next time,

Life is not always easy......

Well, life is not always easy..... I have heard this statement many times growing up as I am sure you have. My life surely has not been lately!!!! I was hoping that we would be all settled in by now, but that is not the case....... I have been finding myself depressed and down too, but I know it is because I don't feel at home right now. It seems that we are in this jumbled mess and we will never get out of it! I have to keep telling myself that to just hold on a little longer, and all will be well! but do you know how hard it is to do! This week has been bad but I pray that next week will get better and we will be ok.

I WILL KEEP LOOKING TO THE HILLS FOR MY HELP COMES FROM ABOVE!

We have moved...

to Missouri! It not easy to move in the middle of school, but it was a needed move. We are staying with family until our house is ready to be lived in. We had renters that totally destroyed the inside of our house. We have had to tear out floors in the kitchen, and both bathrooms. The carpet has been taken out as well. I hope that we can get all this stuff done within a few weeks, but hubby has job interview this week, and if he starts working next week than we will be slower finishing our house. I hope by the end of May, we will be in the house. The girls have taken days off of school to help at the house. They really have been good helpers. Yesterday, I had them washing walls, sweeping ceilings and such. What they want to do is paint!!! At least they are having fun. Who knew that they thought all this work is fun!!! lol Only if they really knew how much they are really doing!

Happy Good Friday!!!

Happy Good Friday everyone..... Friday is here, but.....SUNDAY IS ON THE WAY!!

Jesus,
Thank you for coming to die on that old rugged cross to save us from our sins.

He's Alive, He's Alive.... he has risen from the dead and his is Lord!!!!
