I’ve just finished re-reading the Anne of Green Gables books. I even read Rilla of Ingleside, which I haven’t tried since I was a teenager, when I cried for a week. I managed to only cry a little this time.

We spent a large part of this week supporting Koala as she researched and wrote a job application for a casual library assistant position. If you can spare a prayer that she gets an interview it would be much appreciated.

We are starting to take bookings for our annual home-education camp. All Australian Catholic families are most welcome. I’ll be back with more details soon.

I have joined Face-Book for the purpose of advertising camp. I’ll be honest, I’m not real comfortable, I’m out of my element. However of one thing I am certain of, if I struggle with the whole ‘friends’ thing, there is no way my children would be able to join FB without me monitoring and guiding. It’s a whole ‘nother culture folks, some teens do not ‘get it.’

I’ve been captivated by Elizabeth Esther’s blog. Her incredible story of escaping a ‘cult church‘ has me mesmerised. Her ‘realness’ about motherhood, especially Christan motherhood has me nodding.

We made Kendra’s Black Forest cake for Carpenter’s birthday. It looked great, perhaps not as stunning as Kendra’s but still had the troops circling until party time. Although the consensus was it wasn’t as rich as our chocolate mud cake. However nary a crumb is left;)

Remember my history quest? Yesterday we took photos of the memorial plaques of the tragedy and visited a second cemetery. This time we were unsuccessful in finding the graves of the other boys lost in the tragedy. However I enlisted further help and invited my dear friend Margaret and my daughter Koala to go ‘grave hunting.’ We took each row systematically and found them. Then we spent a delightful hour in the cemetery reading headstones and wondering about the stories behind them. Only a little glimpse, if only we could learn the tales. I have so many more questions I want answered about local history.
I’m a blessed woman indeed to have a daughter and friend who are as odd as I;)
Thank you my dear daughter and friend{{}}
