Super Moon May 5

Saturday evening we headed out to look at the "Super Moon". It was pretty, and quite bright, even with the clouds here.  God’s Creation is amazing isn’t it?

Summer Fun doesn’t have to cost a fortune…

I hear a lot about how children don’t know how to entertain themselves.  They need this electronic device or that toy.  My children can play outside for hours, or re-enact the Civil War or some other historical event or a scene from a book for days…DAYS. Every day my children have TWO WHOLE hours of…
