Katie found a salamander in our backyard. Unfortunately, it died.

We Saw a Red....
Scarlet Tanager today. It was beautiful. As we were trying to get a picture Ana decided to yell. Oh well, we will go out another day and try to find another one.

Stuff
I found the book, 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle (in brand new condition) at the thrift store (75 cents) a few weeks ago. I handed it to Tom with the movie which I found at the library. He finished the book in record time; he really liked it. Every now and again, he tells me things about it. Of course I don't understand what he's talking about because I haven't read it. Maybe I should. He wasn't fond of the movie. He said it was a little confusing and of course it was different. He also said the ending was weird. So, in our house, books rule. ~smile~
I have started to weed out books from my basement shelves. There are books that haven't been touched in quite some time so I'm just going to give them to the thrift store. Things are going to be moved around so I can get this homeschool room cleaned out once and for all. I keep saying I'm going to do it and then don't.
We have attended a different church the past 2 weeks. It is very large. The preaching is good and straight to the point. The 2 girls have gone into their classes with no problem and Becca has enjoyed the youth group. As usually, she knows some of the people and has met a new bunch. She said the kids are kind and easy to talk to. This is where we go for bible study on Tuesdays. We feel very comfortable there.
One more thing; Becca is still has a splint on her wrist. This doctor is starting to make me made. She had an MRI last week and we have to wait until Tuesday to get the results. Ed is going to this appointment. This has been many weeks. She hasn't been able to get schoolwork done. That is not good considering this is 11th grade.
Have a good night

Awake
Did you ever have something that bothered you and you couldn't sleep? Well, that's happening to me right now. Oh brother. It's after 2 in the morning and I'm wide awake worrying about something. Something that is stupid but won't leave my head. I was sleeping so nicely and then, Wham! wide awake.
I could sit here and watch a movie, my son is also wide awake watching, 'The Gangs of NY'. But, I'd rather be sleeping in a warm bed.
Now the dog is down here with me. ~smile~ He follows me everywhere.
At least the dishes will be washed. ~LOL~
I'm going to try and sleep, again.
Good Night

Lesson #6
Patches was pulling at Katie's shirt and hair! He was in a very playful mood. You can't see it in this picture but, Patches has extremely light blue eyes. He is a beautiful horse.
