What's New?

Well, here comes 2010. It's been an interesting year. We have two girls homeschooling now, so THAT'S a challenge. Rosa is helping with that a lot, Thank God. I love doing history with Molly!
Speaking of God, about a year ago we started attending a church with friends. Like so many things in my life, I loved it and now I'm rather ambivilent.
I feel like I'm just floating along with not much direction. It's sort of disturbing. I'd like to learn how to upholster furniture. Because I see really cool furniture and it costs so MUCH! I figure I could do it myself. Hard to find a school though.
I love to bake but then I EAT IT! And it's goooooooooood for my taste buds but not so much for my waist. BTW, I made gorgeous blueberry muffins this afternoon. Mmmmmmmmmm...
Been studying the Bible a fair bit. Found a good site to help me out with that. Interesting stuff... And a bit on the outside of tradition, which I like.
It's been too ugly to exercise outside. Fortunately our school system opened a fitness place for employees (that includes me!) and we got a Wii Fit Plus for Christmas. I love it!
So just stuff and stuff!
What's a girl to do?

Thought she'd disappeared...

I just got back from a day trip to Ellijay. Very nice, but I fergot m'dern camera. The Apple Festival is happening this weekend and next there. Our first time going. Turns out, it's a big deal. Bigger than we wanted to invest in. So we went looking for orchards. Found lots! Where you could pick your own apples (or not), buy fresh honey (not that it goes bad...), pet small animals, go on hay rides, sample cider, people watch and relax. We wanted to pick, but it started to rain... So we bought pre-picked! We found apple 1/2 as big as my head! HUGE!
Then we went into the downtown square. We found cute shops! We found a GREAT bbq place (Wolf Creek) and a much smaller version of THE APPLE FESTIVAL. We also found out that we need to bring cash. Great buys gone forever... sigh.
I love riding in the mountains. Alone. With my husband. With my kids. With my husband and my kids. Singing with the radio. Listening to a book. Listening to the wind with the windows down. It makes me happy!
