Home stretch!

I'm on the home-schooling home stretch! The last few days I've been just drivin' er to get my work finished for this year. Ordinarily, I'd be done a long time ago, but for some reason, I'm a little later (I wonder why?? :)) So, until Monday, I probably won't have any posts, unless I get my work done before that.
Its been 24 hours since I've last eaten, and man am I looking forward to some pizza... tomorrow. Nope, its not an eating disorder, I'm fasting for a liver cleanse. I think everyone should do one, they are good for you (every once in a while). I've had nothing but apple juice and water ALL DAY. The hardest part of the day was at lunch.... and supper. Watching everyone eating those beautiful pieces of nourishing, taste exploding, pieces of pizza- it was almost too much to bear. but I gritted my teeth, took a few swigs of apple juice and held myself in check, with a mental count down til breakfast. Only 11 hours now!!
Oh ya, I talked to beloved Hans and Rachelle down there in SA, today on Skype! They were "storm stayed" at Mark and Gwen's, as it was raining so heavy the road was immobile. I don't think they minded too much. Well then, back to the books I go!

All The Nations

God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us. Selah

That Your way may be known on earth,

Your Salvation among all nations.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;

Let all the peoples praise You.

Psalm 67:1-3

Bring On The Sunshine

What nice, warm, sunny days we've had here the last 3 days! It really gives renewed energy after such long periods of dull weather. Going back now to the archives of my schedule, on Saturday, after work, we headed over to a reception of my cousin. We had a good time there, lots of good food, and family fellowship. Cousin Michael even took me and Cousin Bradley out for a ride to celebrate his newly acquired card that says "permis de conduire". Only after we saw the Bloomfield Kent Building Supplies, did we go back to the reception. The next morning was Sunday (as usual), and much to my chagrin, I was scheduled to work. We were having dinner at the Hall as a go away party for Hans and Rachelle. I snuck some food from different dishes for lunch, before driving in to work. When I arrived at work, and expressed my desire to be back at the Hall, I was splendidly surprised to learn that they would let me go for a while! I gladly went! I worked the rest of the afternoon, then went to Dale and Sally's until the Villa at 6:00.

I stayed at Dale and Sally's Sunday night, and walked up to work for 8:30 the next morning. That evening for supper, we were graced with the presence of Andrew and Pam, who were accompanied by the Barnes' from the UK. We had bbq chicken and pork and a bunch of other stuff. Turtle cake was for dessert! I went for a 40 minute run afterwards, the first time back jogging in a week! It felt good. Tuesday morning I got up bright and early (for me) at 6:20. We are having a guy in grade 5 come to our house in the mornings and after school, I wanted to meet him. He's a great kid, we hit it off right away!

Hans and Rachelle will soon be arriving in South Africa!! So exciting! And by the way, thanks for the headphones in the mailbox Ruth! :)
