Josiah bought Mean Ol' Mama this beautiful geranium because...well, because she's soooooo mean...
Branch and The Girl have been eagerly reading, reading, reading because the local library is sponsoring a summer reading program with
incentives (a.k.a. prizes!). They have faithfully recorded every book that each has read in May. Now on to June and July...
Poppins purchased an adult-size pedal go-cart for Mean Ol' Mama. The kids have really enjoyed it, and Mean Ol' Mama? Well, she has enjoyed watching the kids...[ahem...]...
Anders bought a new bicycle, and he's quite stylish with his own set of wheels. We're working towards a Family-on-Wheels Night. Stay tuned in the next few days to see what Mean Ol' Mama's going to be riding...
Anders, Josiah, and Pop sold chickens and rabbits Saturday morning. They have nice signs further down the road for advertisement, and it's fun to visit with the people who stop by.
Loading up the animals for sale...
We had 3 wonderful meetings Sunday evening. The first one was in the rain, so we didn't get out all the instruments. This was at a Mexican camp.
Next we visited a Haitian camp where we could be under shelter. They really enjoyed receiving a free French Bible.
Such sweet ladies...
And we finished up at another Mexican camp. They were so kind.
Dr. Peter and his family stopped by for a visit. He spent time with Branch discussing a common interest: homing pigeons.
His daughters spent time with The Girl enjoying their common interest: bunnies.
We've had a very, very busy week. Mean Ol' Mama starts teaching again at the College tomorrow, she has a Monday/Wednesday Spanish student, Stennes is working at the U-Pick, the other boys have gardens/animals/boy stuff, and we're juggling minimal amounts of schoolwork. Mean Ol' Mama is waiting on 3 book orders to come in, and the kids are
really excited about more schoolwork [...ahem...]. Gotta keep going, though.
