Wednesday Happenings

It has been a lovely Fall day today...nice temps and pretty blue sky. Nathan and Kathy and some of the children raked/blew a lot of leaves today. The children loved jumping into them. Esther jumped in once and came up minus a shoe. It took a while to find her brown shoe in amongst the brown leaves...but find it they did! School was in full session today. Elijah came over just as the garbage truck was making its rounds so part of his school time was taken up watching the garbage truck from one of our upstairs windows. Esther came over and did a great job with her lessons. Then Joy followed up and did a great job with her reading. While I was working with Esther, Graham came over and worked on multiplication with Goosey. Goosey shared a bunch of funny and tricky ways to remember the multiplication tables. After Joy read to me she went downstairs and let Goosey read to her. Abigail then had her sewing lessons. Today she began on her fourth placemat. This time she is working on one for her mother. After Abigail's sewing lesson I had lunch and I relaxed for a few minutes until it was time to go to the church library to work. Once again three of us got quite a bit done. From what we hear one of the cabinets is being worked on. We are looking forward to having it in place and ready for use. While I was gone to the library, Woody walked his four-mile route. He has read, watched TV and a DVD and, of course, worked his daily crossword puzzle. It has been a busy day and I will admit to being tired!
