History Day Summary

Because we all live at a pell-mell pace these days I understand the difficulty of fitting in an afternoon of fun and frolic on an infrequent sunny day in fall! Projects beg to be done, last minute painting, wood chopping, leaf-raking---all before snow puts us to bed for the winter.

Busy people not withstanding, Corgi Hollows History Day was a success, and I am pretty sure that we'll have another one next year, tweaking the schedule and the activities somewhat.

Fun!

The sun cooperated, and we had a huge bonfire and roasted hot dogs and s'mores. We had Bavarian Wurst and pretzel buns inside, along with krauts and mustard. My cousin brought TWO delicious apple cakes, one made from a recipe from an old friend. Delicious! Grandma brought cookies and chocolate cake.

My husband was able to get a few house projects done even as the day progressed! Several people showed up in character: (About half) We had a prairie family, Katie Luther (myself), a Medieval Mathematician, a falconer, Sancho Panza, a pilgrim, a Norsewoman in fur and knit, a gaucho, a fifties schoolgirl---

Cherie looked like a Renaissance maiden, but she is such a purest that she denied any association. That girl is going to be a history professor someday.

We had shoppes---jewelry, note books, crocheted items and scrubbies. We had a table of used books and things for sale. This was a good idea! It was fun to have things to market...Thanks to all the shopkeepers!

I'm waiting to see when Jan Markell's prophecy conference is next fall, and then I will let you know when the next Corgi Hollows History Day is planned.


I think the second weekend in October is good. You have a whole year to plan your character! Check out Goodwill for costume ideas. Remember this is a HISTORY FAIR!

Some of you may want to get your old sewing machines out...

Cherie had a Cross Country meet yesterday downtown at St.Catherine's University. Pretty course to run on. She has been nursing another sore throat, so her body was under the weather. She has about a week before the next meet, so I think she'll be healthy for that.

Today I made chocolate cake. October is my husband's birthday month, so we're celebrating all month. Why not? October is a time to start baking again anyway! The chill drives us to our warm ovens and goodies.

I'll have to take Corwyn for a walk later to use the calories up.

Blackberry continues to be a happy pup. She has a slow growing tumor in her mouth, inoperable, unless we remove half of her jaw. She has had such a wonderful life, and we are loving her up and preparing to say good bye from this earth. It may be months yet!

School substitute teaching has been steady. Lots of half days, which suits me just fine lately. I need time to get things done here too.

Changes.


People are on the move. Things are happening. Can you believe the politics??  I've been tuned into all the prophecy fulfillment lately.

Israel, the fig tree, is blooming. According to Christ that means He is AT THE DOOR!
Trump tried to swing a deal with a two state solution and promptly got hurricane Michael. Look up Bill Koenig's books for the remarkable correlation between natural disasters and policies concerning God's Chosen Land.
I've had an intriguing inquiry about my past experience in Germany. I am interested to see where this goes. There is a film being made...
We are seeing the left self destruct into mindless violence and rage. If this isn't indicative of their core beliefs I don't know what is! The proof of the pudding is in the eating...
God is uniting believers through social media all over the world. We are in an age of technological wonder, and even though AI and IT has  a dark side we can certainly benefit from it as believers, encouraging each other and watching Christ's return together!

Jesus is coming to get us soon. I can't believe He hasn't come already! But He is certainly at the door, and we are looking up!

The horrible Tribulation foretold in both Old and New Testaments is about to commence. We see the framework in place.

These are exciting times, dear ones!


Let's watch together. Don't forget to preach the Gospel. How shall they hear without a preacher? We MUST tell the good news of Jesus  all the time.
