wordy wednesday
I mentioned I challenged my teen girls to read their bibles daily following a “read the entire bible in one year” schedule. I printed one week on thick paper and cut out bookmarks for them. I was showing the site to matt and realized I could simply click on the day and it would display all the reading for that day. Then I saw there was a mobile version. I entered the url on my blackberry and voila! I had the entire text for the day right on my phone. I’m pretty excited about this. Bailey was happy to see he could also follow along on his ipod touch.
I finished reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It was such a good book. A big thanks to Camilla for the recommendation. If you know Karen (praying Karen) who used to blog … now I catch up with her on FB. She was born and raised in Guernsey. Pretty neat! Next on my nightstand is a book Gail recommended “Uncharted.” I am going to start it tonight. Next will be a book my friend Laura got me for Christmas by Letter to my Daughter by Maya Angelou.
Whew… I was typing this post and my IE just died. Out of nowhere. Not like I had typed a ton but it’s still frustrating. Luckily it was saved.
Did you watch Patrick Swazye? Sad.
Izzy’s day at school went well today. She is having more “episodes” this week. We always tell her that it is her brain making connections… and tell her teachers and therapists not to be upset or worried. She is truly God’s little girl and I know that she will be fine. She is taking her toys from Christmas to school. One a day. Yesterday she took her Poingo reading system from Nini. Today she took the wooden magnetic “paper dolls” from Gram. The therapists all are using her toys in her therapy. She went to the library today and checked a new book out. We were supposed to get the kid walk today but the equipment co. made a mistake and ordered the wrong size… we’ve only been waiting since June 08. I guess a week or two more won’t hurt. They have ordered the correct size with expedited shipping. Things always work out for a reason and I have to believe that it will work out well.
I’m so excited that Judi (doodlebug designs) is starting to work on my blog again! I heart her. I can’t wait to see what it looks like! You should check her out. She does such good work and is a sweetheart too.
Annie,
It IS sad about Patrick S. and the pancreatic cancer….
Judi is a doll, and her blog designs are great ! So looking foreward to seeing your ‘new’ look !
Did you order any chocolates from the free chocolate offer on my blog ?
They are SO delicious !!!
and you should be getting your chocolate chip with walnuts and pecans cookies in the mail this Friday
Hugs,
Loving Annie

We are so blessed with the access to God Word we are totally without excuse for not being in it daily. Some areas and people cling to and charish one single page and we have bibles galore all over our home.

I tried to watch patrick swayze last night and kept nodding off and finally went to dream land about half way through. I was so sad I missed it.

I’m sorry you have to wait longer for the Kid Walk…I hope it arrives very quickly!
nancy face’s last blog post..Me likey!
I SO cannot wait for you to read Uncharted! Now, I’m afraid you might not like it after I talked about it so much…..I’ve been hearing about that other book, The Guernsey Literary one, I’ll have to see if I can locate it!
Don’t you have an hp laptop? That’s what mine was, the one that died and is off being fixed…..I’m just saying!
I decided to join in the bible memorization thing at the living proof blog, 2 verses a month. I want to look for a read through the bible in a year bible next time I’m in Jackson. The online one looks kinda neat, I think I need something in my hand.
