Nothing new

at 06/03/13 9:40PM
Ecclesiastes 1:9 What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.

SONNET 59 by Shakespeare

If there be nothing new, but that which is
Hath been before, how are our brains beguiled,
Which, labouring for invention, bear amiss
The second burden of a former child.
O, that record could with a backward look,
Even of five hundred courses of the sun,
Show me your image in some antique book,
Since mind at first in character was done!
That I might see what the old world could say
To this composed wonder of your frame;
Whether we are mended, or whe'er better they,
Or whether revolution be the same.
O, sure I am, the wits of former days
To subjects worse have given admiring praise.


It's summer break and we're broke.

    The only way I get anything out of a Shakespeare sonnet is if someone who knows what they are doing is reading it aloud, but I do understand the Bible. Enjoy your summer break!!!

    I am reading it aloud myself. I think I am beginning to be glad you shared it! You are really special. I hope you realize that!

    You are broke, summer break and you live in Texas! You could live where it was cold. :)

    When I took a Shakespeare course in college, I found it easier when I got a tape of the play and read along as I listened. Hearing the voice inflections made things clearer.

    Went through those broke days too. That is why credit card bills used to be were so high.

Grades are in....

4.0 this semester, PERFECT SCORE!

Comforts of Home

at 05/21/13 9:41PM
Not a whole lot going on here. Mainly just enjoying the little comforts of home: fully bellies, warm blankets, good smelling candles, family, pets, games, and movies.
Hoping to go to the Lavender Festival Sat. 25th but we'll see what life brings us, some things are a little uncertain today but I know God has a plan. :)

Tornado watches constantly, definitely expected for spring in TX. But poor OK families and pets! The footage is as they say: devastating.

Evalynn's first communion was beautiful and the after party was filled with local relatives. God is good.

Homeschooling is constantly throwing excellent ideas and opportunities at us that we would never have known otherwise.
I have finished another semester of college, so far so good, but no grades posted yet. So nervous, just discovered that to beat competition into my program for nursing I need an A in every class I take! It's doable, thankfully I've always been good at school. But I won't lie, it will take dedication.

Oh oh, before I forget....I've home grown tomatoes! I have the brownest thumb of anyone ever, but here I am eating home grown tomatoes! What to make next?


HOLY the storm just threw open my front door!
  • cyber_space_cadet
    Glad to know that you're all safe and well.

    LOVE that homeschooling is going so well for you. Best of luck in your classes.

    Homegrown tomatoes are the BEST.

    I agree on all the above comments (except I have no Father's Day ideas) Did you see my Texas question on my latest post?
