Books and fish

My mother saw this book at the bookstore and new I had to have it.  She has always agreed that I was born in the wrong era.  I keep this book close so that I can look through it often and imagine that I am a real prairie girl living on the prairie wearing dresses and putting my hair  in buns and everyone is polite and shows respect to others.  Something is definately wrong with the world's views these days- no one is courteous,we are having to deal with immoral issues right and left, crime is something we hear about everyday, but......one thing is still the same today as it was on the prairie in the "old days":  Jesus lives and our salvation is promised! And that is what keeps me going in this sometimes gloom world. Despite all of the bad things, God is always faithful to show us His love-  a new baby, birds singing, the power of the ocean, the majestic mountains, a breathtaking sunset, and His Word.

Another book that I am starting is A Woman's High Calling by Elizabeth George.  I have only skimmed it so far and I can already tell it is going to be one of those life attitude changing books- I can't wait!

 

Ok, on to fish-

Only 3 of these children belong to me, the others are friends.  The aquarium was alot of fun and the weather was fabulous.We met our friends at the entrance, fought through the crowds, and finished around lunchtime.  After lunch we went to a few of the historic  buildings of Monterey (had to throw more school in) and I think we learned alot of things that we didn't know about our state.  We finished our day with a dinner at Bubba Gump's- that is always a treat!
