Friday Show & Tell - Our Neighbors

 

http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Canadagirl

 

I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to some of our more 'domestic' neighbors...

The kids named her Mrs. Truffles, but after a closer look, we thought that it ought to be "Mr." Truffles.  However........upon a little longer time of observation, we all decided that just plain "Truffles" would be fine.

.

We're not the only confused ones around here either.  It seems Truffles has an identity problem.  Wanting to be helpful, we tried to tell him he was of a 'pork-ish' nature, but he just assumed we meant he had a healthy appetite

...and went on grazing with his friend.

.

Forgive me, but I see no family resemblance at all...

We were thinking of an 'intervention' in an attempt to help Truffles get in touch with his 'inner pig,' but, hey, he's happy just the way he is.  After all, if that little donkey on the Budweiser commercial can make the Clydesdale harness team, then what's Truffles got to lose!

.

 Meanwhile, down at the cow pasture, oblivious to their somewhat uncreative names (like: 1,2,3,48,62....etc.) -

these little ones seem pretty happy to be where they are too.

And, surprisingly, we found them to be very good listeners.  So, naturally, we shared the whole 'Truffles Saga.'

.

Ohhhhh, #48.....is that a tear of compassion I see?

.

*Sniff*  Have a great weekend, ya'll.  I think I'll take a walk over the cow pasture now....

I need to talk....

You put a smile on my face! Truffles does look content at being a very short horse. Love that entry.

Welcome!


Photobucket
Welcome to my lazy little place on the web. A place to slow down and take an occasional break from the everyday routine.

About Us...


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket My sweet hubbie took the quirky little picture you see above. Contrary to what it may seem to indicate, the kids and I are not usually found sitting around together looking like sardines packed in mustard sauce. We were actually loaded up in our little space capsule at the St. Louis Arch - ready to ride to the top! Now THAT was a cool field trip!! When we're not on field trips, you'll find us living our dream on a lovely little lake in the Lake Region of N. Central Florida - with lots of cows, horses, raccoons, opossums and gators for neighbors (...there are a few humans as neighbors too!). We're going into our 13th year of homeschooling, and even though all of our homeschooling children are now high schoolers, we still enjoy the eclectic, hands-on, literature based, Charlotte Mason method that we always have. The Lord has blessed us in so many ways, and to Him, alone, we give all the praise and glory! Soli Deo Gloria!!

Believe in God and you’ll believe in miracles;

believe in His Son and you’ll experience one!

Logic ridicules love,

and love smiles knowingly

at the whole foolishness of logic.




Creativity is allowing yourself

to make mistakes.

Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Art is an amazing adventure...

...hold still now, so I can sketch you!


Keep believing...

There are those who say it can't be done -

That your dreams are too big

and your hopes too high.

They must not know the size of the God you serve.

Keep believing!

“A friend is someone who knows the song

in your heart and can sing it back to you

when you have forgotten the words.”

We are...

...a Christian family desiring to raise our

children with the primary focus on

Training their Hearts!

III John 1:4

"I have no greater joy, than to hear my

children walk in truth."

Proverbs 22:6

"Train up the child in the way he should

go, and when he is old, he will not depart

from it"

Deuteronomy 5:29

"Oh that their hearts would be inclined

to fear me and keep all my commands always,

so that it might go well with them and their

children forever!"

Train up a child in the way he should go

— but be sure you go that way yourself.

The character of our children tomorrow

depends on what we put into their hearts today.
