We found a little 2 bedroom cottage to rent just 2 minutes from our current place! I think it will work well for us. We move in in early April, taking our time about moving there and cleaning up this place, since we will have some rent overlap to work with. :) I like low-stress moving. I'm grateful for how things work out for us. Someone definitely has His hand in our lives. :)
^Not sure on that, since we will be spreading out doing it over a few days. Might need a couple of people, but I don't know if we'll need to do it like last time. I'll let people know for sure!
The trailer for "Babies", coming out in April. The goat at the end makes me laugh! It won't embed, so you'll have to follow the link: I totally want to see this when it comes out.
Trailer for "Life". It is a BBC mini series follow up to Planet Earth that will air on the Discovery Channel starting Sunday at 8pm. I am really excited about this too! It will of course mention evolutionary thought, but the footage will more than make up for it.
LOL! Looks like great fun! We have yet to find a real group of peers here (I've pretty much given up after nearly 15 years!) and just don't expect excitement over anything but a "weenie roast".
Seriously! You would think they would have something better to do. What if they were to put all that energy and time into making the world a better place? That would be amazing!
I just baked a huckleberry pie with crumb topping and a sweet potato pie (substitute garnet yam puree in pumpkin pie recipe) in preparation for Pi Day (3.14... ;) and MATHMASS celebrations at the Dunagans' tomorrow. So, how big a slice do you want? Tell me... in radians. haha.
oh, and I cheated on the crust this time, it is Marie Callender's. I can't always do it all, lol!
Pi Day has gotten lost in our house, as it is now surrounded by several birthdays (2/22, 3/15, and 3/22). Plus we have no fellow geeks here to share it with. ;) Last year when I mentioned it to a few people at church they all stared at me like I was nuts. Sigh.
Reminds me of an old joke.
Hillbilly son comes home from school and his father asks, "Son waddaya learnt in school today?"
"Well Pa, I learnt that Pi r 2."
To which the father replied, "Son donchya know cake are square? Pie are round!"
-tiedyed a 2T t-shirt for Jonathan this summer. Used denim blue Rit dye. Since rit has both animal and plant dyes, I threw wool in to take up some of the other part. I am going to spin it and use it for a jean gnome hat. Which makes me LOL being a science geek.
-folded laundry, with Jonathan's "help."
-went to post office. Jonathan fell asleep on the way, so it was tricky transitioning from car to stroller to car to house. All worked out but the last one.
-at the crosswalk to the post office (I used the public lot across the street), were friendly pro-life protesters. I had forgotten, there is a Planned Parenthood on the opposite corner from the post office. They perfom abortions on Fridays. The women gave me one of those precious little 10-week-old unborn baby feet pins. I encouraged them to keep sharing the message and keep it peaceful (which they were doing well with).
-going to sweep and mop and vacuum floors.
-going to make dinner
-I might dye tonight. I have 3 skeins of white sock yarn, and some white Cotswold wool locks.
-I might knit on Jonathan's spring sweater or spin the rest of the silk cocoons I unraveled at Ashley's in February tonight too. I think the longer it sits in a fluff, the more it will stick to itself. Silk is incredibly catchy before spinning. It grabs your hands.
I never in my wildest dreams imagined people actually unraveling silk cocoons. Ever. Wow!
When Zach was tiny and adorable I strolled him to a voting precinct where pro-abortion young women where gathered holding signs. I introduced him to them and after a few minutes of them "falling in love" cooing at him and touching his hands, I explained to them how long it took and how expensive it was to adopt because of abortion. I told them to look closely at his face because babies as sweet and innocent as Zach is what the issue is all about. "We're not here to argue the issue, Mam" was all they could come up with. I like to think at least the younger women there were touched that day.
"And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.
And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats' hair."
Congrats, good luck and best wishes on your new adventure. :-)
