I Heart the Library!
At the risk of sounding like a complete book nerd, I must shout out that I absolutely love the library..today. Somedays, I roam the aisles to my dismay. But today...it was very good to me. Many of my requested items came in, which is always exciting to me. I have always wanted to check out magazines from the library, but all that was on display were a bunch of recent copies, which said, "Not for check out". So I never gave it much thought. But today, after hundreds of library visits, I read the sign which read, "Lift for past issues". It was magical, I tell you...I lifted and there were about ten back issues of each magazine. How I wish I had known about this before. In my defense, I was blonde at birth, and I highly doubt that being brunette for 25 years, has made up for my 2 years of blondness. (This is all tongue in cheek, y'all.) I was sorely tempted to purchase an organizing magazine earlier today, but now I am comforted to know that I can peruse them for free. I got two scrapbooking/cardmaking magazines, a natural health magazine, a Rachael Ray cooking magazine (being the cooking diva that I am...not) , and a Homeschooling Today magazine. I am so hoping that one of the local library branches has the Old Schoolhouse magazine. I so enjoy reading an enjoyable magazine, in the rare, quiet moments of relaxation time. In history, the children and I are learning about Ancient Egypt, this week, so we have some fun movies and projects planned. What is your favorite thing about your library?
Now, my only challenge will be keeping these lovely magazines out of the hands of a little 15 month old, who loves ripping things. Blessings!

Christine,

Is that the most recent copy of Homeschooling Today they had? Great stuff in that one. I especially enjoyed Kimberly d'Escoto's Cultivating Your Child's Heart in the "Hearth and Homeschool" department.

My bride and I enjoyed Becoming Jane a couple of weeks ago. Hope you enjoy it, too.

Blessings,
Jim Bob Howard

Jim Bob Howard,
The library would not allow me to check out the latest edition of Homeschooling Today. I was so thankful that they had several copies of issues, from this past year. I want to check them out, a few at a time, so I can enjoy them slowly. :)
I am so looking forward to Becoming Jane; I am an avid Austenite. I am glad to hear that you and your wife enjoyed it.
Blessings!

Last week I checked out several books, but two in particular that were just awesome.
One was about the Pilgrims at Plymouth and it spoke of God's sovereignty and His will. It was actually accurate! lol! It may be one I try to buy.
It's called:
The Pilgrims of Plimoth written by Marcia Sewall. And yes, the spelling is correct. :)

The other one was called Restoring Order to Your Home by Vicki Norris. She is a Christian and it is a very good read so far. Especially for the...ahem...not so organized me!
