Absolutely. Fabulous. Awesome. Epic. Sustainable. Special.
Don't you get sick of hearing those words all the time?
But this past weekend was really _________---positive.
My husband and I drove with Cherie to attend the Minnesota Association of Christian Homeschoolers conference in Rochester, MN on Friday.
There we met our friends, who we count as family, for a day of searching for treasures, listening to inspiration, and just great fellowship.
We were able to meet a father who homeschools, against the law, in Germany. Very inspiring and touching to see and meet someone who is currently trying to do RIGHT in a culture that squashes a high degree of personal moral conviction. (One MUST tow the line, after all.)
Brave man. He's not exactly Thor, but he seems to be sort of super-hero.
Would you go to prison for your children?
On Saturday the bees were checked. A wicked snowstorm hit us on Thursday, as predicted, but the temperature was a record low. Seeing that our bees were newly hived we feared the worst. Yet they were alive and well, and one of the queens was laying eggs!
Snow again tonight. Not so worried this time. They've had a day to orient themselves with sunshine and new pollen in their new home. We hope for a banner year!
Mistums Corgums, our resident Corgi, mostly known as Misty, except when she's ailing, continues to ail. I wonder if we need to have that surgery. She gets around, happily, but that hind leg still limps. Another vet visit is in her future. The problem is that the surgery is rarely completely successful.
Yesterday we went to an Eagle Court of Honor for a fellow scout. Our troop has had 3 of those within just a couple of months!
Then it was off to a recital by Gunnar Idenstamm, a wonderful organist from Sweden at Central Lutheran Church in Minneapolis. Ed, my husband, and I were enthralled.
His program was completely wonderful. I had too many favorites, but I was thrilled to hear "Pavane," by Ravel (which is on my blog), and "Bolero." I know you either love Bolero or hate it. I am one of the lovers. Idenstamm's transcription for organ was ingenious. Very exciting, very clever.
So that was yesterday.
Kiwi is talking loudly this morning, yowling about something. What do these animals know, anyway? I was awakened by a cat alarm. "MMEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!"
Our epic weekend is over.
