Beginning Of October

Realized I haven't made a post in here since last month.    Nothing much has been going on around here and yet, at the same time it has.


Well we finally got our new washer and dryer thanks to Nickkie who bought it for all of us to use.   It holds at least four loads of laundry at a time and maybe five or six for the dryer.   Which for us is so much more efficient especially for us.   We went a long time without a dryer which made it difficult for us to wash during the cooler months of the year.   Then in April Marc and I invested in a portable dryer that was 25 bucks from a friend of ours that was moving out of state, as small as it was, it was still a blessing just to be able to dry our clothes.  So we still have that put aside, but about a month ago now Nickkie went to use the washer and for some reason it didn't work, only to find out after she purchased the new one that the circuit breaker had been tripped and it still worked.  Oh well...

Other than that, Marc and I went back to church with the kids just recently and we are so blessed because of it.  Keil especially wants to be baptized and has been on my case about it for the better part of the year, and we felt in our hearts that it was time.

The kids are doing well in school.  James had gotten better at being organized and is doing surprisingly well in most of his subjects.  Keil is doing good to, but still struggles with science. I have no idea why as she always talks about making volcanoes for science projects and always talks about blowing things up.  

Go figure.

We are blessed to still be working for Disney, even though it can be very trying on our nerves at times. Now it Halloween Time at the resort and I can honestly say there are a bunch of creepers that pay the big bucks to get in for these events.  The attendance has picked up quite a bit in the past couple of weeks on days without the parties.   I am glad for this and at the same time exhausted.  

As I prepared my  hot cup of instant coffee I can't help but think that Christmas is  2 1/2 months away.  I am not even ready for this.  Has anyone started their Christmas shopping yet?   Usually by the end of October I am buying a little here-and-there and putting it away.  But at least I am thinking about what I want to purchase as gifts for family and friends.  I guess that's a good as start as any at the moment.

Until next time...    May the Lord Bless You and Keep You in All your ways...
