Spring is here! Which means it has been filled with snow, (this winter decided that winter and spring might change places), walks, hikes, school and bike rides. I am planning the garden area out and hoping to get a small green house built out of old windows!

T. and his “passport”

We have been studying the Ancient world and this is one of the books that we have been using along with several others in our My Father’s World From Creation to Greeks. We have really enjoyed it! We are nearing the end of the school year with it and have had fun with it!

I have been making time to go and have tea with a friend almost weekly. We make some small thing to share with each other for tea and visiting for about 2 hours or so, the boys play, and it has been so encouraging for me! These were those Cheddar Black pepper biscuits that I made and served with Virginia Ham. She had some sharp white cheddar that was amazing on them!

She always does such a beautiful job of setting up the table!

She also has this lovely shelf (above) that I would love to copy and build for my dining room wall!

Last weekend, I went to a writing conference and it was a lot of fun!
I learned a lot from it!!

This was in one of the main sessions!

This woman spoke on organizing your time as a part time writer. She was excellent!

She wrote a book called Two scoops of Grace with Chuckles on top which I am looking forward to reading! She was funny, engaging and had some very practical tips!

They served us a really yummy dinner of lasagna, salad, and breadsticks with some dessert and the next day, had a great lunch with really yummy wraps.

They had a couple of book tables….this is my friend Angie at her book table.

I met a lot of great people and came away encouraged to work on my writing!
