Snowy Snowy Days


Our family made a brief trip to Port Jervis, New York over the weekend so that my husband could take his master's test.  This is not a spot I ever expect to return to, but we did enjoy the salt water pool in the hotel. The girls swam and swam.

I did learn that it is considered bad form to ask if you passed a karate test or not, so he didn't get the official word and won't for some time.  We're pretty hopeful.



We have continued with our studies. Here Pearl has created a galaxy out of Styrofoam.  She and Sapphire are also working to memorize the books of the Bible for a church fundraiser, so if you would like to sponsor, them, just send me a line. Their deadline is Palm Sunday.








Then the storm came. We've been without electricity since Wednesday morning in below freezing temperatures. The coal stove is heating the house and our soup!  We are very fortunate, since all of our town and many of the people from our church are also without power, and some are living without any heat.




Today I popped into the library to upload another audio book onto the kindle so that we will have something to listen to when the sun goes down.


And, meanwhile, we wait to hear about my niece who will be born very shortly.
