Dear Journal,
We finally got our computer Internet going again. This is good in some aspects because I can now keep up with what's going on in our community concerning homeschooling, but I liked the absence. I really did...
School will soon start for us. I haven't decided whether to start the 2ND week of August or the last. I'm not in a hurry since I want to get a few more decorating things done around the house, so I'll probably start the last week or September 1st. I finished painting the boys' room except for the doors and a little bit of trim. I'll start on the stenciling soon. We moved the bunk beds into their room which cleared a lot of space for them and now their room looks so nice. I think they like it. This project has stirred within me feelings concerning our home. Feelings that have been asleep for awhile, I think. I've been so busy homeschooling and taking care of children that the joy of homemaking has been on the side burner.
Is there really a joy that comes from making a house a home?
There is. And mine has woke up. I keep thinking that if a baby comes our way again that perhaps it will become tucked away somewhere in the filing box of my life. And this may happen, but for the meantime, I'm going to feed this desire to make our house a home sweet home. The old wood that perhaps shows, for the time being will show with glee. And the furniture that shows it's wear will compliment its occupants.
In other news, I've been sick lately and just starting to feel better. Seems I caught Walking Pneumonia. Didn't I get this nasty plight sometime before this year? I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I thought I'd cough my abdominals out! Thank God for modern medicine, because I don't wish to know how bad it could have gotten.
Sincerely Yours,
Linda
P.S Today is Friendship Day.
