When It's Spring Time
Ah! At last, it feels like Spring! The sun has shone three days in a row, and it has not snowed...yet. All around me I can see the small signs of life, a bud opening, a tree sprouting. And it makes me glad.
"For this is the day, that the Lord has made, and I will rejoice, for He hath made me glad. He hath made me glad, He hath made me glad, I will rejoice for He hath made me glad!"
This morning I actually got up at 6:00! I was sooo proud of myself, I would have started singing...but I didn't want to wake my family. I sat be the heater in Adam's room until it went off, and then I went and got in the shower. I was still pretty tired, so I am also proud of myself that I didn't drown! lol Then I went downstairs for my nice breakfast of Cream of Wheat. Yum! (Specially when you **cheat** and, um, add a little...butter...) But by then I had awoken Isaac, and he came to me asking for CoW. (No, not a cow, that is the abbr. for my breakfast) So I gave him the rest of mine to keep him quiet, and then crept back in to Adam's room to read by the heater. I actually got so engrossed in my book, I was reading through two heater sessions! I finally got to the "good" part (aka the part I recognize from the movie!) of The Count of Monte Cristo. (Hitherto known as COMC) I am amazed at gow different the book and move are in storyline! I can't decide if I like that or not...usually I can't stand it when a movie strays so far from the book that you really can't see much resemblance. (i.e.: Eragon...) And I don't see why they had to make Mercedes and Edmond...intimate...before they were married in the movie! UGH!
Anyways, in the book, I'm at the part where Edmond and the Abbe, are ready to escape and then the Abbe has his seizure. (Totally different from the movie...) And it gets more exciting by the page!
Eventually though, all good things must come to an end, right? So I sadly relinquished my book to go on a long bike ride. Yesterday I rode all the way down to the famous "Country Inn For Cats" and (ha ha, Gabriella!) got to pet a beautiful horsey! I am probably not quite as much a horse fanatic as I was, but I still love their nobility and beauty, and enjoyed being in contact with such a magnificent animal again. It's been two years since I've ridden, and at least a year since I've been in contact with an ungulate. (I think that's how you spell it.) So, today, to push my muscles, I rode all the way down to Sugar Bear Acres, about half way down our ten mile road. And I really enjoyed it. Later I get to "babysit" Zac (Isaac) and we'll finish "the girwy movie"...ahem, that would be the old Pride and Prjudice. (My personal preference. I am competely prejudiced against Keira Knightely...) I'm so looking forward to that, P&P being one of my favorite movies. I'm sorry to say, I prefer P&P, Sense and Sensibilty, and Emma, to any "modern" movie. You might say, I 'm a bit of a Jane Austen freak. I have read S&S at least...10? times... But I never mind picking it up a 11th time!
I recently discovered a new group I really like! I have access to Rhapsody ( a music site) and I decided to search Celtic Music, since I absolutely love it. I've listened to the Chieftains a few times, and I like them a lot, but I was looking for more of the "dreamy" penny whistle style music. And I found it! The group is called Celtic Woman...and oh my word, the music is BEAUTIFUL! I already have two favorite songs of theirs, One World, and then Last Rose of Summer: Walking on Air/Medley. Oh man, I really love it! Gabby's gonna kill me for having another fave artist! I have like, too many!
What else...oh, my VBS meeting was fun. I'd appreciate prayers for resources and supplies. Hopefully, there will be many kids, so we need as much support as we can! So if you could pray that we would have plenty of money for extra things (crafts, snacks, prizes) I would be so very thankful. It's gonna be fun to be working with kids, and I'll be doing registration, so I'll get to know the kids names as soon as they walk in the door! Oh yeah, and I'll be working with the (amazing number of four) other teens there, and maybe it will be a good way to break the ice. I can hope!
Well, folks, that's all for today, except for one last thing: Please, please, pray for my aunt, who just had her appendix taken out, and wasn't doing too well. You may have read in earlier posts about my uncle's knee, well this is his wife, and she is working two jobs to support them both, since my uncles knee is still bum. So, both I and them, would really appreciate your prayer.
TTFN,

Spring is starting to show where I live as well (It is about time, lol)! We have had three strait days of nice weather, beautiful sunshine!!!! It has been a bit chilly, but as long as it is not raining or snowing and the sun is out I am fine with it being a bit cold!
WOW, you woke up really early. I usually wake up around seven and I am still tired. lol!
Most books are always better then the movies. I have never watched the movie or read the book that you are currently reading. It sounds interesting though!
I LOVE cream of wheat. I always put milk and brown sugar in mine. My dad fixes his cream of wheat with brown sugar and milk, so i guess he taught me to do it that way! It tastes delicious!
