I'm Still Here


(Check out the radio link at the bottom of the page for some music while you read!)

It's been a while, a week, since I last blogged. So, maybe nobody's out there any more. I've been a lazy writer. But...the show must go on!

It has been a busy few days! Friday class on friday; girls day out on Saturday, took the girls to Nim's Island; Sunday was church, The Jungle Book play at our community theater and our friend, Drew's, 50th b-day bash on roller skates. It was so fun to see all of the over 40's (and under 40's) having fun on wheels! Monday required a bit of recovery since the dishes and mess were reaching great heights. I required a bit of recovery too. I've been having some breathing issues related to allergy/asthma and so Tuesday was off to the doctor. Now I'm on steroids, joy. One day and I already feel SO much better, breathing is a precious thing. I thank God for breath because there have been a few times when it has been hard to come by.

Today Sara and I are working on cell structure, mitochondria, golgi bodies and endoplasmic reticulum etc., etc., etc..... Cells are indeed complex and we've studied 40 vocab. words supporting that claim. How much faith it requires to believe that these things could occur by random mutation. Just one cell is so amazingly complex, and I have no idea how many are in a human body. It's just beyond comprehension and leads me to be in awe again of the great God who created each mitochondria and each individual human being. It's easy to have faith in that.

I've also been cleaning up the dust bunnies today. I think they were ready to attack, looking a bit like dust Jack-a-lopes! Not so good when you are having allergy issues, so we're caging the wicked bunnies (in my vacuum bag.) Later we hope to go for a ride on the horses, if we can find them under the 1/2 inch of mud caked on there bodies. So, we'll have to leave extra time for mud removal.

The new kitties have grown a good bit and have opened their eyes. They all look about the same to me, but Sara tells me the picture above is of "Angel." Sara has her big volleyball tournament next friday, go Eagles! Barry is experiencing tax relief... relief that he finished on time. We're always down to the wire. We're hoping the college aid stuff got there in time (it's due at the same time as taxes). I'll try to do more blogging this week (although the weather IS warm, sunny and gorgeous!) Say hi if you're still out there. Oh, try out the new radio at the bottom of my page if you like while you read.
