I spent the last three days being an art teacher at the high school. Everything went really well, and I'm getting to know so many of the students. It's been rewarding.
Cherie has morphed into a VARSITY cross country runner since I last wrote, and that has been amazing! She has improved her times and helped her teammates place better. It's been such a fun season so far! Many more meets to go----
We've had family visiting. My sister-in-law, gardener extraordinaire, brought tomatoes and cucumbers from her Iowa acreage. We took her and my brother-in-law to the wonderful ice cream place in Mound--Lost Lake Creamery. It's closing this weekend for the winter, but next summer you can try it out!
Last Friday Cherie and I drove to Albert Lea, Minnesota to have "The Tabernacle Experience" at the Freeborn County Fairgrounds. We met friends there---
This is a travelling exhibit that replicates the original tabernacle in Exodus. I really didn't know what to expect, but it was very moving for me. I came home with home-school material, a beautiful necklace that is fashioned like the high priest's breastplate, and a CD of beautiful Hebrew praise music. I'm playing this music in my car, and I LOVE IT.
Last year I learned the Otiot, the ancient Hebrew picture alphabet. I do have a desire to learn languages, as they are the way humans (and God) communicate. Our church has begun a Bible Institute recently and the first class they offered is an introduction to Greek. My husband and I signed up and last evening was the first class.
My husband took three semesters of Greek at Wheaton College, so for him it's a review. I'm pretty fresh. This week's assignment is to learn the alphabet and 26 words. Let's see if I can do it. It took me all year to memorize the Otiot.
I guess I'll really have to study this week!
The Corgi Hollows History Day is fast approaching. It has rained and stormed all week here, which keeps things unaccustomedly green.
I hope we have clear skies on October 13, the big day, but as I said----rain or shine! We'll have a rip-roaring time ;)

Meanwhile it drips today. The cats wanted out but accepted the invitation to come back in shortly after. This is a day to catch up, write, and plan!
Two big birthdays to celebrate this weekend, with friends and family, an organ concert (Michael Barone's Pipedreams 35th Anniversary at Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie) and the LAST SHIFT at the Deli!
Time passages. Life just keeps rolling along.
